Color Name:Silver
I've bought two of these recently--one for myself, one for a neighbor who liked mine. It's sturdy and stable; can be adjusted for right-or-left-hand use. (the loop should face forward for best balance--I've seen some people not use them correctly). Mine has a plastic film giving it some color--it's light-colored. It replaces a black one lost in travel. Light color is easier to find at night in dim light. The film CAN get nicked. I plan to touch up nicks with nail polish; craft stores have paints that also would probably work for touch-up. The foam handle is firm--softer than a rubber handle, but will probably wear. However--this was less than a third of the price for one available at a local store--so when the foam wears out, I'll just get a new cane! My neighbor is totally pleased with her silver cane also.

I purchased a small base quad cane after back surgery to help me walk up the stairs. If you need a cane for walking up the stairs it is very important to get the cane with a small base so all four legs will fit onto a step.
I was taught how to use this cane in a rehabilitation facility. The cane is unstable if you use it the wrong way. The four leg base is not symmetrical. On one side two legs are spaced a little close together, on the other side a little more wide apart. It is very important to have the wide part AWAY from the body. The base can be switched based on whether you want to use right handed or left handed. This positioning makes a huge difference.
When the cane came from the factory it was set for the wrong hand, and if I did not have my lesson on stability I probably would have used it as is and would have been unhappy with stability of the cane. I hope this helps someone else!

Adjustable is an apt descriptive for the Duro-Med cane. Though lightweight, this cane is ruggedly made and it allows easy use for long periods of walking. The comfortable foam-padded handle is suitable for all, and the telescoping cane allows you to adjust its height with a simple ratchet-like placeholder smoothly designed into the two-part cane (the upper section has the handle, and it mates to the lower section, which has the base with four rubber-tipped "feet" that inspire confident use). You can adjust the length of the cane so a person 6-feet, 4-inches tall enjoys use of the cane as readily as a shorter person can. A surprise with the cane is that it comes with a second lower section of rubber-tipped tubing that you can use in place of the quad-tipped base. This strategy transforms the cane into a standard "one-pole" model. Users who may feel they don't need the broad support of the base with four feet will enjoy this option, as will those who may want to use a cane in crowded areas, where the four-footed section might be a tad clumsy to use. (The trade-off, of course, is that the one-pole base offers less support.) An user with dizziness or lightheadedness will appreciate the extra support of the four-footed base. Last, a cord loop attached to the handle lets you insert your hand through it before you grip the handle, to add a bit of extra security. The metal cane is well-made and smoothly finished (nice welding with the base plate and its four feet), and all of this -- including the second base -- is priced astonishingly low.
NOTE: Since I posted my review, I have been informed (in October of 2011) that the company does not offer a second, straight (monopole) section that can be affixed to the long cane handle. I found the standard four-prong, lower section of the cane to work very well, as described in company literature and based on my experience.
