This staff comes in two pieces and is made of pretty chessey plastic. Note the length, as it is really tall. The plastic looks really fake, but looks better it you spray paint it some other color that the original shiney brown. Although I  was somewhat dissappointed with the quality of the staff,  after I painted it it looked a lot better and I am keeping it. At $22 it is a pretty good deal, but you would have to be nuts to pay full price for this.
