I like this cane. It is adjustable and sturdy, like many sticks, but is a nicer mottled colour so it does not look so much like a hospital item! It definitely has a nicer appearance when you are going out in the evening but need a cane. The only issue I have with it is the wooden handle is painted dark but if you drop the cane (as I have several times) then it chips the paint on the handle very easily which reduces the quality of the appearance.
