I bought this teak shoehorn for my Mom who has a hard time bending over to get into her shoes. She loves it. She had purchased (unknown to me ) a stainless steel long shoe horn a few weeks earlier . Believe it or not, this teak is a much sturdier piece than the stainless steel so she got rid of the stainless steel one.
This teak shoehorn is one entire piece of wood - nothing to loosen or come off - it's great. Nicely made, too.
