So excited to finally own this lightstick! This is my first ever lightstick and I had assumed that it would be heavy but it's actually lighter than expected! The lightstick's box came packaged safely along with my other orders. My only "problem" was getting the handle/strap tied to the lightstick. It's a little difficult to get the string through and out the holes but I managed to do it with a bent/hooked-shaped needle I made.
