Update International 1 1/2" Menu Holders w/Cast Iron Bases [Set of 12]

The product arrived promptly and was as described. I probably will return them because they did not serve my purpose as well as I thought they would. The weight of the product is substantial for the size, but they did turn over when the wind blew. The card I was trying to support was not large, but it was a little bigger than a place card. I think I should have chosen a product with a wider base. The clips do bend fairly easily, which is both good and bad. The bad part is that they can be bent out of shape relatively easily. The good part is that you can bend them back into shape without much trouble, and also adjust the tension a bit to if they are too loose or too tight. Ultimately it's a good product, particularly for an indoor event. They are so much lighter and easier to work with (store, transport etc.) than the taller ones. I think I just chose the wrong tool for my particular job.

These holders are very nice. They are bright and shiny, small enough not to be intrusive in a table display and hold really, really well. They worked well with business-card size papers and 5x7 cardstock. The only problem with them is that they are VERY tight when you first take them out of the bags. Everything paper I tried was shredding. I finally solved the issue by slightly prying the prongs apart with my thumb and then inserting a 3x5 index card folded in half. I would also recommend putting a small piece of tape over the bottom edge of your cards before putting them in these holders. It doesn't show all that much and keeps the bottom from ripping apart when you insert them.NOTE: Be very careful not to pry these open too much because then they are too loose and you can never get them back tight enough.Overall they look really nice and hold cards without getting knocked loose. We used these for food labels at an 80th birthday party and they worked out great!

The item came very well packaged, each card holder is in it's own little ziplock bag (they are a little tough to open). The item is nice and shiny and exactly what I expected. I'm giving it 4 stars only because the clips are really tight and a simple card stock sign is hard to slip in there. I tried to loosen the clips just a little bit to slide the sign in but even that little bit was too much, the little "claws" now had a millimeter too much space and wouldn't push back together. These little buggers are tough! I think my best bet is to make cards on thicker stock or just have a little more patience sliding them in. Other than that - wonderful signs and I like them!

These are perfect little card holders for any event. Despite being tiny, they have a heavier base which can easily hold even 5"x7" cardstocks. The cards we tested were 65 lb. cover to 100 lb. cover and they did not bend backwards or forwards at all like some suggested. Though when you are testing them for the 1st time, use a cardstock that you won't be needing later since the prongs might leave a mark/stain on the card when pulling them out. Not a big issue though.The holders have a beautiful silver tone and look very elegant and chic. 12 of them weigh about 9 oz. They came in a bubble wrap envelope, each placed individually in a small zip lock container so they wouldn't rub against each other. The shipping was also super fast. We are overall happy with this purchase.

Very small; these should do the trick of holding the cards up and not being in the way. The clips have a small indent/where machine must have grabbed them when forming. I don't think guests will notice but I did.Note - They truly are only an inch and a half tall and 1 inch wide so pull out a ruler to get an idea of how tiny each will be to make sure it is the size you want before ordering.

I bought these for a Christmas open house that I hosted to label all the food. Of the women who were attending, some had food allergies and some just had food preferences. It was just easier to label everything that I served. It looked really cute with little Christmas package labels that I used. I could have gotten Christmas-themed holders, but I can use these again.And then I noticed that Starbucks uses the same ones! I will mention, though, that they are small, which worked for me. But it might be a little nicer to have something that is a taller. It's all a matter of preference.

Worked perfectly! I ordered two sets of these. The stands were small and cute and let my placecards stand out. A couple of the prongs weren't quite as tight, so I had to fool with them a little, but they worked perfectly fine. For the price, you can't beat them. The shipping packaging wasn't the most protective, but they still arrived just fine.

These look quite nice and do stand up well, but inserting the cards is very difficult. Some are so tight, and can't even be pried apart, that the cards would rip, no matter how carefully or slowly we tried to insert them. Even when using single ply paper, and not cardstock, many of these were still too tight to be useable. Some of them also arrived quite badly bent.For the price, these are still OK, but wanted to let everyone know that you are getting what you're paying for.
