One star off for the amount of times I have been beat with it.I used it for a costume I will be zoroOnly have had the sword for a day and while the quality is nice. After only holding it 5 times, both tassels have already become detached. Since I do not know how to reattach them, the sword looks way worse.As described, I was very impressed at the overall design, even though the blade is a very sturdy foam it will endure many hours of play. Grandson adores it.Entire sword is flimsy, cheap fitting, no support on the guard or blade, tassels where glued on and fell apart in minutes of opening the box, blade guard has cheaply printed on designe/ not aligned at all, sword bends like crazy.This product looks fine from a distance has many flaws up close and the material of the sword and sword sheath is extremely cheap and unfitting. Don’t buy unless you want it to break within minutes. Not to mention this item just came in earlier today and I already regret it.Item received in good condition with just being placed in a carton box without bubble wraps. Material is pretty good, happy with the purchased.
