IHClink Magnetic Curtain Tiebacks Clips Curtain Buckles Holdbacks Binding Weaving Tie Band 2 pieces For Home Office Decorative UK patent 6036254 (Beige)

These look really smart in use, only time will tell if the fabric cord with which they are wrapped becomes loose, as one or two other reviewers have noted. They are a little bigger than I expected, both the length of the cord and the ball-shaped ends.The cord is flexible but to a degree stiff, so more or less retains whatever shape you form it into. The magnets are very powerful, but no magnet will hold through very thick lined curtains - and anyway, I don't think they are designed for one end to be one side of the curtain and the other end the other side. The magnets simply connects the two ends together, and they provide a very firm grip.You could try using these without a hook behind the curtains to support the cord, but the tiebacks may then slip down the curtain - I think it will depend how much bulk of curtain you have, and therefore how tight the tiebacks grip the curtain when fixed in place. My curtains (across my front door to save energy in winter!) are naturally not very wide, and so I have fitted hooks behind mine, just like you'd have for traditional tiebacks. The advantage with these is that they are still easier to open and close - with the traditional tieback, you have to reach behind to unhook one end. With these the fastening at the front makes them very easy to open/close.I ordered in blue, grey and gold to decide which suited my curtains best. I can confirm that the grey definitely looks silver as I suspected; it's more of a gun metal silver than very bright, but the fabric coating is shiny and this gives the appearance of silver. The gold is quite a warm gold colour. The blue ones which I kept are a very rich darker blue, they look very classy. Very happy for now - let's hope they last![not sure why 'lightweight' is one of the three features Amazon is asking me to rate - 'easy to use' and 'value for money' make sense, but something like sturdy/durable would surely be a better choice?]

Beautiful. Strong magnet. Sturdy. Good value for money.

A very convenient product of very good quality. I had initially purchased these for my living room, and have loved the convenience they provide. These are now in every room in the house :). The magnets are strong enough to hold the position of the curtains and also add to the look. A variety of colors helps match them across designs.

It does what is supposed to do and looks good

I use the holders purchased from Amazon to arrange the curtains in my living room and kitchen very nicely. The material from which the handles are made can be bent in any way, so I can use them both for large curtains (living room) and for much smaller ones (kitchen). The convenient, magnetic closure of the handles gives me confidence that properly draped curtains will hold on all day.

Very good quality. Magnets are strong. Really convenient that no wall hooks are needed. Would recommend these.

I ordered the tiebacks for some new curtains and they were delivered promptly and according to the tracking details. They are really lovely but the only reason I am marking a 3 as they were not suitable for my curtains which are quite heavy and I have decided just to leave them as is.I would recommend this product as I am disappointed that they were not suitable for my use

These are lovely on my curtains and are strong enough to hold them back. They're not very long though, so worth measuring up before you order.
