Pros: - I love the color! - You can assemble it - The buckle looks so cool - Sturdy Cons: - No belt loop Overall: opened the lovely little box and was surprised at how well everything was assembled. The color is amazing and the appearance of the belt has a beautiful polished nickel onyx look. Very high quality and the strap feels sturdy. All you have to do is thread the strap through the loop and clip the teeth on the leather strap to hold it in place. I've never bought a belt where I had to, but I like knowing that I can shorten the belt if necessary. Took that step and I was ready to go. Then the belt is fixed and done. Click the delete button and that's all you need. It goes well with other materials. I wasn't expecting this belt to match my shoes but gosh I loved it! Fits perfectly and looks great. Highly recommended!
