Overall this is a beautiful belt but almost half an inch thick, only thicker than any other belt I've seen. Because of this, it's quite difficult to climb through the belt loops and buckle up. It's definitely durable so hopefully it will hold up well although I've had other stiff straps that fail easily because they're too stiff so only time will tell.

This belt is very thick and wide. I had trouble getting the strap through the buckle due to the strap rubbing against the buckle. It took some effort to pull the belt out of the buckle. I wish they made it a little less wide so it requires less force when using this strap. The quality seems to be normal, the material is not premium. It's decent to wear.
