The designs themselves look great, my issue is with the metal.Right out of the box I noticed they were a bit flimsy; some of the hooks were bent back against the shapes.Not a big deal, though, I was able to bend them back without any issues.What baffles me is the fact that we've had them for only 3 months now and the metal on the hooks are covered in rust.Why would they design something that's obviously going to have some amount of moisture on them and not treat the metal or at least use one that is more resistant to rust?
Annoying... but again, the designs were what we were after and they look great.

I had some beautiful seashell shower curtain hooks in the past. I changed from the ocean theme and I guess I got rid of them. Now, as I redo the bath again with a return to the sea, I was hoping these would be similar, but they're not at all.
Rather than the pearly surface I liked so much before, these have an almost chalky finish. Sort of as if they were made of plaster. Also, these are are quite large and thick compared to the more delicate and light composition I prefered. Yet, they have that very thin hook that doesn't go very far around the rod and so comes off too easily as you open and close the shower curtain.
Still, looking at these head on, so you don't see the odd, chunky, clunky thickness, they are somewhat realistic looking and kind of pretty, and may be just what someone else is looking for. Just not quite what I'd hoped for. I'd give them 3-and-a-half stars, but since I have to round, I'm rounding down due to the functionality problem.

I am so torn on these hooks, as far as how I feel about them.
First, yes they are big, not huge, but bigger than any other shower hooks I have seen. They are nice sized though.. not too big, but nice enough to be more of an accent to the shower curtain. I was happy with the size actually. They are a little bulky on the curtain and rod and will kind of clang a little as you open and close the curtain.. not a big deal or downfall, but just something to get used to when using a bigger decorated hook set like this.
The wire hooks are a little on the thin side and seem cheap. Most all of them were not glued in place properly and were crooked. So if you would have hung them as is, they would hang lopsided, sideways, etc. When you try to straighten them out, the hot glue which was used to secure them in the hole comes loose and you can tell that eventually the hook is going to come off of the shell. I would imagine it is going to be easy to repair them and add some more glue to fix them when the time comes.
All of the designs look pretty good EXCEPT the starfish. I was really disappointed with those! They are accented with a really bright, ugly yellow color like McDonald's yellow! I was really surprised that noone else mentioned that in their review. It is not attractive and does not coordinate with my beach colored bathroom, but they might fit in well with someone else's colors, maybe. They look really fake and odd. Starfish are not bright yellow striped obviously so it looks so unnatural and just plain tacky. I am going to try and maybe take some brownish paint over the yellow to cover it. I really debated sending these back just for the appearance of the starfish alone, but I will try to cover the yellow because I do like the rest of the shells and I think they look nice. Overall, (once the yellow is gone) they are functional but also very nice accent pieces.
The conch shells are really neat looking in my opinion. I really liked those the best.
The sand dollar is really bland, not much color on it at all, but again, if you're crafty you could work with them and add some color. Sand dollars are pretty plain anyway, naturally.
The regular seashell was a little bland looking too. Just a slight little bit of color on them.
None of them are glazed in any way. They are like a dry, porous ceramic or clay. For longevity of them, I would probably put a little laquer on them or a clear spray paint maybe. I am not sure yet how well they will hold up to the elements if they get wet, damp etc. I only received them today.
So, on one hand I am happy with certain aspects and certain designs, and on the other hand there were some disappointments, but I *think* I can put forth a little bit of effort and fix the problems (the yellow on the starfish and the faulty hooks).
This is one of the best shower curtains that I've tried, which I use as a liner.It's made out of a heavy vinyl material, which is more "relaxed" (as opposed to stiff) and is superior to the "crunchy" plastic material used in many of the cheaper shower curtains.I also like the rust-proof metal grommets, which prevent the curtain from tearing.I really haven't had to use the suction cups, since I haven't had any problems with water leaking out of the shower; but it's there if you need to use it.Lastly, I should mention that this curtain was shorter in height than others that I've used, but it was long enough to stay within the edge of the bath tub.
