Asterom Walking Cane for Men & Women - Handmade, Ergonomic, Wooden Canes - Cool Walking Sticks for Seniors

Extremely well made and more comfortable to use than the collapsing metal ones. I feel more secure with this solid wood cane and it is much more beautiful than any others. At a cost of 3x the off-the-shelf tin ones, it is a fantastic value. This one will not break or rust, it will last forever. I am considering buying a second with a different stain they are so cool, compliments on it all the time!

Had a little accident and broke several bones in my left foot. According to the doc, a cane will be a good idea even after the bones heal. So I decided if I'm gonna be on the gimpy side, I'm at least going to do it with style. Though the price of this cane was considerably higher than most, I can now attest that -- da-yum -- it was SO worth it!The craftsmanship is evident from the moment you take the cane from the carefully-packed box. In a word, it is beautiful! It feels super-solid in the hand and the weight, while not exactly "heavy," is definitely substantial; it inspires confidence. Also, I'm not a violent guy, but this thing would work about as well as a baseball bat with regard to self-defense. It's that formidable.The handle is meticulously crafted and fits my hand like I was born with it there. The finish is impeccable and the brass band is a thing of beauty. Seriously, everything about this cane just screams quality and brilliant design.I bought a slightly longer one than I thought I might need and cut it down to size (removing about an inch) with a miter box saw. The rubber foot was a tiny bit difficult to remove, but that has to be the case in order to keep it in place during heavy usage. It's also nice that they sent along a second rubber foot and a wrist strap, though I'm not using that at the moment.I got the deep cherry red finish on mine and it looks GREAT. I've been using mine for the past week or two and can attest that it works about as well as one could hope for. It feels like a natural extension of my arm and provides all the support I'll (hopefully) ever need. If you're looking for the best cane for any money, look no further. You're not going to find anything better. This thing is essentially perfect, and that's not a word I use often.

I don’t write reviews but since I saw a couple negative comments I wanted to set the record straight. It is oak, sturdy and comfortable in your hand. It is wood and the finish will eventually fade but it is wood and can very easily be made to look brand new again. It is a great and stylish cane for those of us who need one. I tip my hat to the wood workers who crafted them. They are beautifully finished and I have zero issues with mine and it does its purpose in style. When the finish starts to degrade on the handle from hours of sweaty palms then it can very easily be refinished and look like new all over again. Thank you for a great solid oak cane.

Wonderful cane, that came quickly. I ordered this cane for my father so he would have a sturdier cane when walking around and it meets expectations beautifully! I was nervous buying a cane on line since I wasn’t going to physically see the cane prior to purchasing it. We ordered this one for “nicer” events because it’s the first time my father has ever had to use a cane. The concern on his end has been about the other canes considered higher end not being sturdy enough to hold his weight and keep him balanced (he’s in cancer treatments and his mobility is affected). He was very pleased with how nice the cane looked, and how smooth the grip of the handle is. He is also happy that it has the base that makes it “like any walking cane from the store” (meaning the base is a non slip grip on the base and so he doesn’t have any fear of it slipping away from under him).For shipping, this cane is SUPER carefully packaged and so when I opened it I had no issue or concern of it possibly being broken when it arrived. It was easy to assemble, and is worth the price!I ordered two canes at the same time (one from another company) and this cane came ON TIME, with bubble wrap and a nice Amazon box. (A big difference from the other) you can tell this cane was packaged by someone who cares about their product.Thank you!!

Updated Review:I was able to utilize Amazon's return & exchange service in this case, reporting a flaw with the item I had received, and requesting another identical replacement item sent from stock. I shipped the original item back the same day I had received it.I also received a message from the manager of the Asterom workshop, who expressed his sincere regrets for the trouble and sought to make the situation better. We had a satisfying exchange discussing workshop methods, family business, quality control efforts, etc.He was very helpful and kind, and made it clear that the business takes their quality (and customers' satisfaction) very seriously.To my surprise, the replacement cane from Amazon arrived several days earlier than anticipated.It fits together as expected, very nicely. Everything aligns as it's designed to, just like on the cane we ordered for my wife.Sturdy, smooth and comfortable in the hand, and beautiful to look at.I am impressed by the workshop and their selection of products, as well as their dedication to quality and service. I know we are looking forward to some future purchases to customize our canes further.==========================================================================Original 2-Star Review:My wife and I just ordered two different canes from Asterom, in different colors and handle styles.Hers is fine and has no issues, but my order had an alignment issue which goes back to its fabrication.The threaded socket embedded into the upright stick is off center, so when the handle bolt is screwed in, it doesn't align flush, and causes the metal ring to sit unevenly.I've included a couple pictures of the bad alignment, and the off-center hole.I've requested a return and exchange. I'll update my review upon receipt of the replacement.
