solid construction not rough enough though [SEP] guess it is okay for others but was not harsh enough for me i usually use which is more like a cheese grater it gets my blood flowing pretty good and is long enough for me to do my back and use it as a wash cloth i thought the middle scrubby part on this one would have at least been the same roughness but it is not also after use it is already breaking up only reason i did not give it one star is because of the sturdy construction with the rope and stitching i pulled pretty hard on it trying to exfoliate my back and it did not break so good job there just get a rougher middle and i will try it again
