I have to admit that as my husband was assembling the hose reel both of us thought this would be a return to Wayfair.  So we were shocked when it actually worked.  We have it on our patio so can’t use the anchors but it’s heavy enough with the hose it doesn’t move very much.  It’s one of those “why didn’t we get it sooner” purchases and we couldn’t be happier with it.
