I bought this cane after breaking my foot, when I had to keep weight off of it for 6 weeks. I worked wonderfully. At 6'1" and 230 pounds I was concerned about a "fashion cane" not being heavy duty or tall enough, but this one was perfectly sturdy and adjustable to a wide range of heights.
The handle is smooth wood and the tube is all copper and very, very light. The design isn't really reminiscent of "wood grain", but it is quite nice nonetheless. I received a lot of compliments from coworkers on the beauty of the cane and how classy it looked.
I liked it so much I almost wish I could keep using it, but alas, my foot is healed. I would highly recommend this cane to anyone in need.
