Broke the first time trying it

the stuff you'd expect to wear out or break over time

Fortunately, that softness also means I can easily bend the bracket inward by hand so it can actually grip the desk; which is a wobbly, temporary fix that lasts all of two days before the bracket slips off so violently and with so little warning the fiftieth time will startle you just as much as the first

know how it broke I was just laying my feet on
