With Prime shipping, it's a good buy, but something like this is more economical if purchased locally. That is, if possible. Now, this is listed as two different lengths. 12 inches long in the header, and, it's OAL (over all length) is listed as 60 inches in the copy. For this price shipped, I expected it to be 12 inches long, which it was. In appearance, it has a standard quality mill finish. It's what you would expect from any established steel vendor.
