Bought this specifically for recent trip to Washington, D.C. I am getting older, and knew we would be doing a good deal of walking around DC, Arlington National Cemetery etc.
It held up well. the joints had a little flex in them to begin with, and after a solid 6 days of leaning on it, that flex really didn't get any worse.
I would have given it 5 stars if it were a little more rigid … but for the price, it was more than adequate.
Update September 2, 2021
After almost 2 years of pretty regular use, it's still holding me up. I have gotten a little less steady on my feet when taking longer walks, and rest my full weight on the pole often. Occasionally need to tighten the nut on the latch.
Son suggested getting a set of 2 to help on the uneven ground I always walk. After a bunch of research - I said "What the heck am I doing" So I just ordered another one of the same.
