Have only tried it a few times in the house but it feels strong and am sure once I get it to the right height and get used to it will be great. Just strange after using a trolly or 2 sticks, but I was so nervous and unsteady on the sticks but know I won't be with this walking stick once I have mastered it lol. Very hoary with item and no issues. Also great service from ordering to getting my things so thank you. A Happy bunn y
