“Cute but . . .”

I am so disappointed in this item. It is very cute but, functionally, its a bust. The gap between the ears of the giraffe makes it extremely difficult to use. I struggle to place the glasses on top of the holder and have them remain there. They slide back and forth and I have to reposition them repeatedly. Thankfully, I am only using them for inexpensive blue light glasses, but there is a real risk of scratching the lenses. I may give up and just treat it as a sculpture, but thats not what I wanted or needed.

As a decorative piece
