Assembly was easy and I can tell they used solid materials, manufacturing, and finishing methods when making this product. The circles in the middle are very shiny, and there are flecks of gold in the cork straps, but overall they look basically neutral, with a little bling. I was pretty disappointed when I discovered this and then had to order the charging platform separately for another $25. They are warm, stay on my feet, and allow me to walk normally again. Again, immersion breaking. my phone with no problems, it stays put and I can answer calls or change the song very easily while on my bike Holds regular sized bikes with ease. it was! Allows us to connect, in our case 2 headset/phones to a single android phone. I am most grateful for the excellent service I received, all sorted within a week.
