Ditched the $60 cable sleeve kit after one day, back to zip ties

I bought one of those expandable sleeve kits from Amazon for like $60, thought it would be the clean fix for my TV wall. Took me three hours to feed everything through, and then I had to move the console two days later. Total nightmare, had to cut half the sleeves out. Zip ties and a $8 pack of adhesive clips from Home Depot have been way easier to redo every time I swap cables. Anyone else regret going the fancy route when cheap and simple works fine?

Those sleeve kits look so clean in the photos but nobody talks about how much of a pain they are when you need to change anything. I watched a YouTube video where a guy compared them to regular cable ties and he had the same problem, had to undo everything when his setup changed. The thing is our setups are never really done, you always add a new soundbar or move a light strip around. Zip ties and those little sticky clips let you just snip and restart in like five minutes instead of fighting with mesh tubing. Plus the sleeves love to catch dust and look nasty after a few months anyway. Cheap and simple wins every time for people who actually touch their gear.
