This picture doesn't really do this thing justice, it looks so much better in person. I bought it for my brother for Christmas and he went nuts! He thought it was the most stylish thing ever. Apparently matte black tie bars are harder to find, not as common, and therefore instantly better than other tie bars. I looked at other stores for comparable prices, and this one is a steal!

The item itself is well-made and sturdy. It arrived well-packed and was delivered before the actual delivery estimate. Earlier delivery is better delivery, in my opinion!
