The keyword here is value. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. For the price I paid, I received significant value from this belt: I have gotten nearly two years of daily wear out of it and it still looks acceptable. It is not the greatest belt ever made. It's a decent quality belt, it looks reasonably good, and it does its job while not breaking the bank. That formula is not an easy one to pull off successfully. I came back to the listing to buy another one for the next two years (I've just started to notice some meaningful wear on the belt; as another reviewer noted, you can get about two years out of them). I'll note that the buckle seems very durable, I haven't noticed even the slightest problem with it over time.Overall a fantastic value proposition. Zero complaints.

I have gone through 2 of these belts. One lasted about 8 months, the other about 3 years. Both died the same way, as seen in the picture here, where the back side of the belt (which appears to be a separate layer than the front side) 'cracks'. I guess the leather becomes brittle after being worn at the same notch for too long. Once that leather cracks it's over, the issue will only get worse and worse until one day the belt basically disintegrates.But honestly, how could I be mad? The belt only cost me $15. The mere fact a $15 belt can be worn virtually daily for almost 1,000 days before failing is pretty impressive. Let's be honest, this isn't a Ferrari. It's a leather strip with holes and it lasted 3 years. How is that anything other than a success? I just ordered a new one today, so while this is not an Armani belt that will last you a lifetime, it is cheap enough that occasional replacements are not a bitter pill to swallow.On the flip side, it is a handsome belt. It's not super ornate or anything and the buckle is lightweight compared to more expensive belts, but like most men I'm not in the market for a super expensive belt. I'm more about function, not form. As long as the belt keeps my pants around my hips, I'm happy.In summary, it's not a luxury piece you'll pass down to your kids, but it's also not going to disintegrate during the first month either. For $15, I consider this a solid buy and that is why I will continue to purchase these belts.

Perfect belt. Just as described. The burgundy color is very classy.

True to size, and not bad, cheap belt.

Nice enough looking, but very thin and stiff, cheap feeling. Of course, it IS cheap, but I mean as compared to some of the other budget belts offered in Amazon. I would not recommend this belt, but would suggest you look at the offerings from 'Milorde' belts. Much sturdier and better feeling.
