it is not what i thought it would be [SEP] i gave this stars for softness because the brush is average to a bit firmer than what would be ideal and comfortable to use on your back while the loofah strap is average the brush bristles are kind of scratchy and not the good exfoliating kind of scratchy they are more like the ouch that is scratching me kind of scratchy overall though it is acceptable and averagenext i gave this stars for easy to use because i do not find this easy to use the brush is separate from the stick that extends it to reach your back you slide the oval shaped brush onto the stick by inserting the stick into a cut out section on the back side brush the problem here is that it does not stay on firmly at all i ended up with options either not on firmly enough so it kept popping off or pushed on so much that it is very difficult to get off of the stick to use separately the loofah strap is really easy to use though it is nice and long so there is plenty of length to comfortably hold each end and move it back and forth at most angles no matter how thin or thick your arms or body may be that is a real plus but i still could not give more stars if only half of the set is easily usablefinally i gave this stars for sturdiness because there is no doubt it seems pretty sturdy the bristles on the brush have stayed intact the loofah strap is firm and sewn solidly but it may be too firm it is hard to get flexibility out of it the elastic strap handle on the brush is flimsy but overall it is a solid set the wood is a good solid well finished wood without splits or cracks it does not seem like a cheap product that is going to warp and break easily if you keep it away from hanging to be soaked when it is not needed for use putting it somewhere nearby where it stays dry is best
