new meta description

i just changed my meta description tag on my flooring tools site (the links in my signature). Its about 180 chars, but is not a run-on and accurately describes my content. Is the new meta description okay? I wanted to make sure its not too long. Also on google and yahoo, what is the weight of this tag? Thanks!

Weight is 0 or very close to 0. Google sometimes uses it to help provide the description in the SERPS. 180 chars should be fine

I believe that a description should be 250 characters or less including spaces.
