Another reviewer stated theirs fell apart after just one use.  I've worn mine regularly since I received it and it's in great shape, durable and well made.  Product is just as it appears in the image (color is true charcoal grey).  Grommets and buckle are sturdy and seem as though they'll last.  Pay attention to other reviewer's comments on sizing. I did and was glad I had (i.e. order belt longer than what your waist size is.  If your waist is 30", order a belt that's a few inches longer than that (depending on how much extra 'tail' you want).
