This is a beautiful walking cane, elegant and quite handy in its purpose of transitioning me from a regular cane support to none. I keep it in my satchel or even coat pocket. It is light, durable and strong. My only concern is that, on the last level allowed, it's a bit too short for my 6 foot frame. I can extend it beyond, but then risk having the handle spit out of the shaft. Otherwise, a very good purchase
