I was in need of a cane that didn't look like it came from the hospital store room. Since I'm stuck having to use a cane, I wanted some fun choices to pick from at home. I hunted Amazon and found 3 different canes that fit the bill. This is 1 of 3 canes I found and purchased from Amazon. I was so surprised and pleased that all 3 arrived at the same time, and were packaged separately. I purchased this item in the wood grain tone, and found it to be very nice, sturdy but yet light weight, and not a scratch on it. The only trouble I had was removing the sticky labels. After wrapping a hot, moist dish cloth around the labels and letting it soak until cool, the labels came off; but I had to repeat the process a couple more times to remove the sticker glue. If you're hunting for a 'designer' cane to replace those not so pretty hospital gray canes, then I would suggest trying one of these...with a number of colors to pick from. The 'wood grain' turned out to be more on the reddish side with a wood grain design. But all in all, a very nice cane and a great price. I keep this one in my car for long shopping days.

I wish I didn't need a cane, but if you do too you won't go wrong in ordering this one. This one is so pretty and the handle is very comfortable. I not only thing it's pretty but it works great.

Mother-in-law needed a cane fast. Used my amazon prime got it NEXT day. She loves the purple flowers. Nice easy to grip handle. Not too heavy- just right for her as she is healing from a hip replacement! Could not have been better! There were some stickers- just use some goo gone. No big deal.

I was very happy to be able to use such a cheerful looking Cane during my rehab. The delivery was on time and although the cane had stickers on it I didn't find it a problem to get them off quickly.

My original cane was a med supply store silver one. Refused to accept the CRPS would progress. Couldn't live with it so I wrapped a vintage Gucci scarf around the handle. When it became apparent that I would be using a cane every day, I gave in and invested in some prettier ones. Bought the Chrysanthemum cane first. It wouldn't extend and we sent it back. When the new one came it was perfect- easy to adjust. Then I ordered the spotted one which is my favorite, got a compliment while out at dinner with it. A woman close to my age (late 30's) said how lovely I looked and how nice it was to see me with a "sexy" cane, not letting illness ruin the sexy and pretty woman I seemed to be. Most sick people seem to give up on how they look because they don't know about these products that can be used as "fashionable accessories" (I say that tongue in cheek) But you gotta do the best with what you have to work with.
Wish it came in some more younger patterns. I'd love another but the other patterns are just too old looking for my style. And for those that say the cane clicks every time they use it, just tighten up the ring on the base under the adjustable buttons and it won't make any noise at all.
Very satisfied with price, quality and appearance. Wish I didn't need one for 30 more years but since I do, its nice to have pretty and fashionable options!

If you have to use a cane, this one takes a little bit of the sting out of it. It's sturdy, has a cushy handle, it's pretty (for a cane) and the price is very reasonable compared to others on the market.

I have no idea how anyone can ship an adjustable, sturdy cane for $15.00. What a deal - a true 5 star product. A label on the cane says it is rated for 250 pounds. I suspect it could take considerably more weight than that! I'm not sure how this rating was determined but I pound on this cane daily, weigh about 170 pounds and it does not flex at all - not even the tiniest amount. After 3 months of usage I trust this cane absolutely. It is quite robust.

It is extremely light yet very tough.

Highly recommended!

As an added bonus you can choose whatever pattern you want. I choose a stupid and very obvious pattern for dramatic effect. Buy whatever color or pattern pleases you! When I was in the rehabilitation hospital I found a very bright pink cane that I used daily. There was no particular merit to this cane but it generated some comment which had a comedic effect.

The cane was exactly what I expected: same as the picture online (and in a medical supply store, only $20.00 LESS). The delivery was very prompt, 8 days. I would recommend the cane and the supplier to anyone.

If your gonna use this cane then you should probley weigh a hundred pounds or less. Its very pretty although some of the paint was peeling off when I got it. IT is very lightwieght... hum... Im being nice... CHEAP... when you lean on it you feel like your going to bend the handle, becase the handle bends and it may give way. A cane really needs some substance to do its job... this cane seems like it is made out of storm door alumnium... would not buy another from this manufacturer...

It serves its purpose however it makes a rather embarrassing clicking sound every time it touches the ground.
