Review on FurniMate Assorted Sound Dampening Clear by Ron Houston

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Practical container for household helpers. I doubt the claim of the label of 3M

In short: 1) Practical and thoughtful packaging 2) Pretty good range 3) Not very good adhesion I think 4) The back label says they belong to 3M, but marketable lacks the 3M mark, so I doubt it. What I like most about this product is that it is compact and comes in a small box. With this well thought out product, I don't have to search for an oddly shaped box or a crumpled plastic bag, neither of which have enough space to store all those 200 useful little things. Who likes to cut molded plastic from their glued backing so those little bits will ever slip out? Or worse, not getting off easy enough? Now you have to rip open the bag further so the product will splatter all over your shelf or drawer in the future! Give it 10 stars for containment minus 3 for a closure that feels too loose to extend the life of the remaining product. I hate cumbersome products of any size whose manufacturers can offer thoughtful storage solutions but don't! Five stars for the "instructions" which is actually a page with usage recommendations, packaging inventory, and child safety warning. Give five stars for being able to put all the content back in the box and close it after removing all the content for rating purposes! Give 5 stars for the height of each small riser/bumper! Only 3 stars for the grip. The round bumper I removed is pretty flimsy. I'm confused by the red 3M Electronics mark on the back of the substrate. There is no 3M trademark. The size, color, and font on the label clearly indicate that the product is a 3M product, but there is no trademark symbol. These are not 3M products like the multinational Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company that makes the home and construction products we all know and love. In fact, I think the apparent weakness of the adhesive may have made me suspicious.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Vulgarity
