It is plastic and not the most sturdy. The pair was a good match in size and clarity with one being ever-so-slightly more clear and brilliant. Okay I love these shoes. Another issue with not just Clarissa but other Naturalizer shoe styles which I have tried, they have very poor arch support. At first I was worried as the bottle and packaging was different than when I bought it from trusted retailer a couple years ago, but settled my mind when I went to Gucci?s site to find it matched what they have currently. Well, that doesnt work because the loop on the case is too small. If you need a reliable headset thatll last at least 2 years then Id highly recommend these. About 5 inches behind the sun roof, the Telluride roof bars are over 46 apart in as you can see in the picture from my tape measure. Excellent sound and light weight so you can wear them all day (work). I was looking for another turntable for the longest time that would be comparable to my Technics 1200 MK5 Ive owned for 7 years.
