I had originally seen this at a big box store and thought it would be great on the back patio. It is light weight on the frame and post but is sturdy. I love the solar panel charging and it works great. Unlike other reviews there was no hassle to put together as it just plugged in. I only gave it 4 stars for the fact that the first one we purchased was damaged in shipping. With that being said Wayfair shipped us a new one out immediately.
