Pros:
price,
lightweight,
plastic and reasonably durable,
photographs great,
you can take it apart making it easier to transport/carry

cons:
mine took a while to ship,
height (I'm 5 foot 7 inches and it be perfect for ME if it were one foot taller. But this was the best looking one I could find online, AND they all seemed to be around the same height).

This is a costume prop. So I wasn't expecting real scythe perfection. But this looks pretty good live in person and photographs very well. And that was my purpose for this item. I used it for a photo session. I had to carry all my props and camera gear down the trail of cliffy beach. I carried it disassembled in the plastic bag it came in over rock cliffs. Where it banged into rocks, branches, and I even threw it five feet down so I could hold onto the cliff walls with my hands. It held up fine.

The plastic wood staff has a bit of a shine/sheen to it. If that will bother you an easy fix is to get some matte sealer/varnish and give it a quick thin coat. I was initially worried this would be an issue for me in my photos. But was a non-issue for me.

Another reviewer mentioned holes drilled into the staff. And yes mine has a couple small holes. They aren't sharp. They are perfectly smooth. And make it so you can thread cord or twine through it and tie the staff up to something, like if you are decorating with it. On my staff you can only notice those holes if you are super upclose to it, like you're the one holding it close.
