<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1564733, member: 10944"]I think the conversion while poorly executed was a valiant effort to match the style and color as close as the individuals capabilities would allow. I think the initial job may not have been been so horrid. It was like the pegs fit right and right into the holes they made with glue or screw. My guess is that over time and putting heavy garments on the hooks that the holes grew a touch and the legs loosened. Maybe one garment was so heavy and pulled so much it cracked the wood? Then again maybe it happens during the conversion. I’m pretty sure the glue and screws didn’t come until later when it needed shoring up though. Just how I see it, I could be wrong. The brass hardware while much less invasive and safer doesn’t look good to me. Not that my hooks look good but I see what they were going for and respect the effort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
