Possibly the best headpiece I've owned, especially for the price. The crown is plastic, but it definitely doesn't feel brittle or weak in any areas. The top part is detachable, like the more expensive version on this site. This crown's size is really nice, with the base being slightly bigger than the palm of my hand. The alligator clips are attached very firmly on the base, so the ribbon isn't really needed if you don't like that kind of look. Definitely thinking of getting more colors for different coords in the future c:
