Bought this in Mar 2019 and already started to rust where the base meets the pole insert! According to the description, it is supposed to be rust, weather and water resistant. Wayfair referred me to the manufacturer (Walker Edison) because it's been over a year since I purchased it. Walker Edison told me that Wayfair asks them to refer customers back to Wayfair for resolution. Typical runaround because no one wants to be accountable !
