Pretty to look at but not a solid corn broom like my old one of 15 years. Bristles are long soft and flexible. Not a sturdy pusher. I used my old one to clear snow from the porch and from sliding patio door travel. This one cannot do that. Not strong enough sweep. But it does look good enough to use in some kind of display scene.
I like that the broom is environmentally friendly. It sweeps well and I think it looks nice. The corn strands become loose and start to fall off with usage but this is sometimes the nature of a natural product so I'm okay with it. Perhaps if no plastic was used on the broom and the corn strands were secured more tightly I would give this product 5 stars.
Been looking for a corn broom that's affordable for years. Never knew I could get a lighter version. Awesome price for an awesome broom. I do find that I lose a straw or two every time I use the broom but I consider that I literally use the broom up to 20 times a day. Don't know if that matters but this broom sweeps up excellent. I don't have to sweep the same spot more than once to get all the dust and or trash. It's not too stiff and not too soft. Just right!
