Tiny bridges everywhere, but why?

As I am getting closer to my first "complete" system, I am starting to research and get opinions on smaller tweaks. The cherries on top, so to speak. The term "smaller" covers the size, cost and possible impact to SQ. 

I do not know what they are called but I am seeing all sorts of devices holding up cables. Don't know why but they remind me of Navy Seals running out of the ocean with a telephone pole over their shoulder...

Thanks to this forum I have learned that everything in some way impacts SQ, so whatever these thingamabobs are called, do they impact SQ or are they a form of cable management? Both? Do materials matter? Am I going to have to splurge on rosewood versions treated with stain containing ash from one of Jerry Garcia's guitars, or could I use old shoes for now to accomplish whatever mission these fulfill?

I could have Googled this topic, but I want to hear from you - Your experience, choices, etc.

Izjjzi,
Careful with cable riser recommendations, their effects are limited at best. Tried it with little to no results. Be careful with certain individuals that will get you charging down deep, dark rabbit holes.
Just another way to spend a lot of money that could benefit you in a different direction. IMHO

OP.

The good thing I see in your room is carpet, wall to wall, which is good.

Would you/have you tried your system on the long wall? Short wall can be fine but it looks like your speakers are a bit to close to the side walls. Usual (but not limited to) distance from side wall is 3 1/2 feet to 4 feet. General ill effects are midrange colorations.

The recommendations for room treatments are a very good idea also.
