Above average quality for the price
This is not a super-high end brush, but nice enough for the price...and nicer than a lot in this price bracket.  As for people saying it smells...well, natural hair brushes tend to be very musty at first, even on $30-80 brushes.  Follow instructions found online to soak and wash in either Borax or a White Vinegar mixture and you will be fine.  Also, you will lose hair for first few months and even rest of it's life...that's common.  Again, using proper brush technique for rinsing, shaking out, and storing in a downward position will minimize the hair loss. I like this much better than another brush I bought for in the same price range.  Overall, not bad for the price.
