I had one purpose for purchasing this product - childproof our fireplaces with black noodles, which I can't find locally. One is some sort of stone with a lip. One is brick with no lip. When the noodles arrived they were smaller than I expected. These are not the pool noodles of your 90s youth. They're half the size. If I was buying them for a pool I'd be pissed. But for my purposes, the smaller size was BETTER for aesthetic reasons. The noodles are flawless on the stone mantle and grip the lip with great tension. I only taped the junctions. However on our brick fireplace - with no lip to grip - the noodles are TOO FIRM and TOO ROUND to grip onto the lipless brick, so it only worked on the one mantle (see picture). I am not mad it didn't work for the brick - it's user error to have thought it would. As for the padding, it really is the ideal solution, soft yet firm at the same time. Kid may get a bruise, but they won't lose an eye on a corner, and that's why we're doing this - right? It's really the perfect level of protection. So if you're looking at this for kid proofing, rest assured it's great, but your surface better have a lip for it bite onto. BTW, I cut the lengthwise slits for installation with regular scissors without issue. 5 star child protection, 0 stars if you wanted a massive 90s style pool noodle that will keep you afloat as a grown man.
