5.0 out of 5 stars my dad likes it, December 25, 2005

I was concerned about giving my dad the impression that we thought he was unsteady on his feet (although our family has been concerned he will fall). I got him this collapsible cane that could be tucked into a glove box or Mom's purse in an emergency. To my surprise, he loved it, and I think it being collapsible was a factor. It would take a medium to large purse but would not be overly heavy to carry around. It extends almost as easily as a pop up umbrella. However, it stays collapsed until you want it to extend, so is not a danger. The quality is excellent, with buttons that allow you to adjust it for different heights. The handle is flat and, to me, that looks like you could lean on it more comfortably and securely than on a curved handle. I am very happy with this purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cheap cane, November 21, 2009

I used this cane for a several weeks to transition off of crutches and it held up very well. My only complaint would be that occasionally the rubber stoppers on the top of each section would come loose. There was never any risk of collapse, and it was just a minor annoyance which is easily overlooked considering the cheap price. I would recommend this cane to anyone who needs a sturdy folding cane for a temporary timeframe. No idea how it will last long term.

Pros:

*Super cheap
*Foldable so it can be stashed easily
*Did not loosen up under constant use for 4 weeks
*Good adjustment that didn't loosen up

Cons:

*Lots of minor chips in handle after a few weeks
*Rubber stoppers in the top of each section can come loose

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy Cane which is VERY Sturday and Attractive, October 7, 2009

This review is from: Medline Aluminum Folding Cane, Black (Health and Beauty)

I am a 44 year old woman who suffers from arthritis in my knees. Some days are worse than others. I live in a large city and must commute back and forth on a bus and a train, and some days I have trouble walking and standing. I needed a reliable, sturdy cane for those times I get tired, but not all the time. I also wanted a cane that didn't look too "elderly" because I still care about looking old with the cane. This cane has exceeded my expectations. The black color is very dark and consistent, and the small accent brass below the handle is just a nice touch of class. It is very lightweight and folds down small enough to fit in my totebag. One thing to note that it is adjustable, up to 36", and as a tall person (5'11") is use the very tallest setting. But when the handle is extended, it does not fold up as small as you see in the picture. Not a deal breaker, but just a fact. One very nice feature that I did not see on other is the nice discreet black colored strip of velcro that you use to wrap around the cane when it is is collasped to keep it from popping open. But when you want it, the heavy duty rubber band that runs inside the cane is nice and tight and the cane pops right open.

I would highly recommend this nice attractive sturdy cane for anyone who needs a portable cane from time to time.
