Only one issue, and it is a small one involving style.
I own nine Asterom canes.  (One belongs to my wife, so I currently have eight canes in my custom-built cane stand.)  This one, unlike the others, was given to me as a gift by a friend, and is quite different from the rest of the group, but is just a well-built, and it is also surprisingly functional, provided the user is not depending upon a cane for maximum stability.  Hey, this cane is as much a style statement as a functional tool.  My wife says I should save it for Halloween, but I intend to use it year round!<br /><br />Anyway, my only issue with the style involved the white shaft.  That is overkill to an extent, and my solution was to lightly sand the shaft and give it two coats of dark brown (expresso), satin-finish paint with a protective polyurethane clear coat.<br /><br />That did the trick.
