I've owned several bag hooks and this works the best because it's not just for tables, but also works over doors, fences, etc. Very convenient to have. It is heavy-duty so the ring is a little heavy to carry around in my purse. But at least I don't have to put my purse on the floor (yuck) or on my lap while I'm at restaurants or in restrooms. I can have my bag in my sight at all times, instead of hanging my purse on the back of my chair.
