I wasn’t expecting much from this after reading the reviews, but there weren’t many options so we ended up going with this one.It is super easy to put together very nice and tall and looks awesome. It doesn’t seem super sturdy so I’m weary to put much weight against it but as far as looks it is pretty cool.I’m very excited about this!

Not the sturdiest, but you get what you pay for and this should last at least through one use, which is all I bought it for.All the kids want to play with this every time they see it & it’s not heavy or splintery so they can not get hurt or hurt others with it

We bought this for my 12 year-old "Jack Frost" custom. It looks great, size and shape are perfect.You do have to take in account that it is made of plastic and comes in 3 parts that kind of screw into each other.In our case, 4 minutes of using it to pose for pictures, one of the unions broke!My brother is great at fixing stuff, so he cut off a little piece, inserted a PVC tube he had left from another project and glued the pieces together using an epoxy kind of cement. Now it is much more resistant and will last for several Halloweens for sure.I have seen in other people's comments that it does tend to break in the union, so take that in account before buying.

be careful with this, it looks exactly like this but i expected it to be a bit more sturdy. its pretty wobbly at the joints but looks neat. It is very light weight and i worry about it coming apart at the seems.It is however very detailed and looks exactly like the staff should.

We got this staff so my son could play Jack Frost (his new hero). I used metallic paint to accent the lines, making it look as though blue frost was being distributed. It's almost a dead ringer to those staffs that are going for so much more. It is plastic and comes in three parts that you just insert into one another. My son is very tough on everything and broke one section while playing. I just inserted a bamboo garden pole to keep the different sections together and it is now (pretty) indestructible.

its hollow plastic so not weight bearing. great for cosplay and photoshoots.

Anytime you order this product it is apparently a 50/50 if you will receive a staff that has internal support and looks consistent throughout, or if you will receive what I received. A staff made out of cheap plastic with no internal plastic or other support, and exposed screw grooves on the outside that make it a horrible cosplay or costume addition.The screw grooves make it painfully obvious that it is poorly made and will break with the lightest tap. Additionally, it comes with a warning in the bag (not useful if it isn't on the product page) that "Actual product may differ from image due to manufacturing variants" so the seller is well aware of the issue and is doing nothing to fix it.

It screws together in pieces for your desired length.
