The frame is sturdy and was easy to assemble. These are unbelievably comfortable sandals! We ended up getting 8 of these, building two columns between . on this item,if I would have paid $120 for the item new I still would have been satisfied. It was so nice. So soft. The Best bath Gelee for dry skin. Not a good design to fit in my ear, falls out. Nice case and comes with attachments to secure it to your arm or backpack. I wear 7 1/2 baseball cap and this headband is way to small.
