Start with what these are and aren’t: they’re exactly the right amount of metal and cost to hold up basic strings of lights, at home, with light-to-medium tension, for short hops of max 10 feet or so. They’re the wrong solution if you’re doing permanent business-grade installations at high-tension and/or long-distance, or if your adolescent child or pet monkey are going to climb on them. If you’re doing that, you need something much heavier. If you’re the person who posted a photo of these poles bent in half, you need something much heavier. (Because you did something very, very strange.) But for everyone else, these are pretty perfect, especially for the price. The anchors are super-deep and sturdy. Even in a sodden October lawn, they aren’t going anywhere: the pole will bend before the anchors move. (Although your mileage may vary with sandy soil or something.) The finish seems to be a pretty robust powder-coat. The pieces mostly thread together easily, although 1 or 2 might be resistant and need sandpaper or some extra torque. (But again, for this price…) The posts do bend a little if you’re tensioning multiple wires in the same direction, asymmetrically, like in a zig-zag configuration. If you have the wires pulling both north/south or east/west, you’ll be fine, as the tensions will balance out. So, again, if you need to run a bunch of wires in a single direction from a single pole, buy/fabricate something heavier. But for most basic backyard uses, a little bit of bend is no big deal, and they were easy to install. I worried about the height, but these are just right. Even over a long run of 10 feet, with normal sag of the wire, the lights are still comfortably above the head of a 6’5” visitor. I wouldn’t mind if they were a foot higher, but then the poles would bend more. So, it’s just the right compromise of price/performance.

I’ve had these up for a year now and they’re still working great I would recommend being careful when you put them in the ground because the metal can split but once you get them in there, they are very good

I bought these to use to fly my military flags. I have 4 brothers who each served in a different branch of the service so I wanted to display these in honor of the service they gave this country. As you can see there is a good breeze blowing and they are doing a great job keeping the flags flying. I really like these and I'm happy that I have them.

Super easy to install, perfect height and adjustable. Just not 5 stars because they're not exactly made to stand alone. They need help if you actually string lights through them at tall heights. Needs extra support. Otherwise amazing

Very cheaply made when hammering them with a soft hammer into the ground. One of the legs broke. I’m an 80 year-old woman, and I cannot believe how poorly this product has been made. Definitely is not worth the money or to even purchase.

Pretty solid Paws had no issues had some storms come through and poles are still standing strong you must lightly tap on the bottom Forks to go into the soil do not hit hard with hammer take a piece of cardboard and cover up the metal and tap slowly in each side other than that

They bend. Wouldn't recommend.

The base spikes are hard to pound into the ground and the poles are flimsy and bend with not much weight on them.
