Great looking lightpost for the price! The "textured" part is a little weird and could've done without and still looked good in solid black. Took off a star because the screw holes in the top lid don't line up with the fixture and it makes it difficult to put the top on and off and some of the other pieces don't fit together quite right. Still functional and solid once it's together, though. Overall, a very sturdy fixture and fits well on our light post!
