I would say this is very good for service ropes. The braiding of the outer shell is very pleasant, it is even, dense and appears durable. The product is of really good quality. The rope is also very stiff and a bit rough. It would be great as a service rope as advertised if you are mindful of the added security of the knots used as the stiffness does not allow the knot to be held. I would suggest something softer if you want some fun in the bedroom.
