The length and width are perfect. The metal parts feel solid and the rest of the strap is built fairly well. Overall I'm happy with the belt, but 7 months of daily wear has resulted in it ending up a bit frayed without the D-rings. The metal tip on this end only covers the wide, flat part of the strap. It doesn't cover the narrow "top and bottom" of the belt where the wear and tear comes from. I'll probably just cut the strands and light up some flames to tighten them up again. As I said, this is a great belt for a low price, but I'm seeing some damage after only 7 months (under normal use, nothing out of the ordinary).
