They claim they're scratch resistant. Not sure why they're even there in the first place? I see the need for the tab on either side of the magnet, but just can't see need for the grommets.

OR this: 19.95

Plus this: 5.98

Gets you three for about $21 -26. Maybe not as pretty.... but I think it'll work just as well. Might have to drill a countersink hole to mount to a wall, but it's 50 bucks cheaper.


Edited for Content: BUT NO! Say it isn't so!! If you click below, you don't even have to do all the work. 14.95 with free shipping from Amazon Prime
