Shipping was super slow. didn't get a shipping notice until one week AFTER I ordered it. However, the stick itself is not bad. the wrapping has a nice, solid texture which won't wear as easily as the usual foil and will stick on your head better if you are balancing it.UPDATE 12/13: this is made of PVC piping and not bamboo; it broke upon first use. Do not use this for real cane/bellydancing. a few smacks and it's toast.
