My younger son recently achieved the rank of Black Belt, and I thought it would be awesome to display his belts as a way to show his progress. My older son has a wooden belt display so I wanted something different for my little guy. Even though both of my boys are Black Belts now, and attend(ed) the same dojo, I think it's important to recognize them differently so they have some individuality in their sport. When I found this display rack I knew my little guy would love it.It's not a very heavy piece, but it's sturdy and well made. There aren't any funky welds and the finish is perfect. He loves having it hung on his wall and it holds each of his belts perfectly. I also think it would be great for hanging medals, but that's not something his studio gives out.
