OK - I didn't buy from this vendor but I bought this 'same' cane (meaning that for this price it's pretty much got to be relatively the same cane), and it's just a 'cheap' feeling, lightweight cane that if you just were using a cane for minimal balance and you have $10.00, get this one! It's not great/its not bad. It just is. And if you've priced canes you've seen that they're not cheap - especially the ones that come with a weight rating. There is no weight rating for this one, so if you put much weight to this cane it might not do too well.
