Ordered 3 of these posts and got 2 immediately in perfect condition. The 3rd came later in open pkging so I refused, and then, came a 2nd time in open pkging so I canceled the 3rd post for now. The delivery is also a pain becuz U need 2 B home & they give U a 4-hr window, but even with all this trouble, I love the posts.
They are nice and solid. Of course it remains to B seen as 2 how they'll weather the winters here, and then, the humid summers, but I can always revise my rating if things go south.
They arms are plastic and flimsy. I slipped in a 5/8" dowel to make them more secure. The arms also don't fit tight to the post, so I got a black round rubber gasket, cut it in half, and slipped one half over one of the holes for the arms, and the arms stay tight and centered now. If the dowel isn't strong enough, I'll use a fiberglass pole, but couldn't find a 5/8". If you purchase a dowel, bring the arms with you as not every 5/8" dowel fit inside I had to "try" a couple.
I just really like the simplicity of the pole and it is sturdy and looks fabulous. I compared it to a pole at one of the stores and it was sturdier and less expensive.
For my 3rd pole, I'm getting the same kind, but with an electrical outlet at the bottom. Wish I had gotten 3 like this so I could have easily wrapped all poles with Xmas lights.
I've never wired anything, but with a little help, figured out how to wire these lamps (thanks to youtube), and I even cemented them in using quickset cement and it was sooo easy.
I am a 58 year old woman who has never done any of these things and was able to figure it out. A lot of work, but a lot of fun too.
