This chain was just what I needed for my more delicate pieces and I do feel that it is strong enough to last and is not flimsy. Of course if you yank on it too hard it will break as it is a fine chain but if treated with moderate care it should last for a long time and of course for the price how can you beat it? It arrived when they said it would and was delivered during a snow storm! You cannot beat that for service. Recommended!
