The belt is very attractive and appears sturdy on first inspection. After only two months of use, the belt broke at the buckle this morning. I'm very disappointed. Even if I were wearing this belt daily--and I wasn't--I should get more than two months out of it. The belt has a 30-day return policy, so I could return it, but I'd only get a partial refund on top of shipping charges I'd have to pay. I guess it's going in the trash.
