They're cute and all but kinda a pain. I like that the stakes are multifunctional (in ground or laying) but they aren't really "stakes". That would imply they are tipped at the end. These are flat, making it hard to get into the grass. Also, the hats are attached with a screw that doesn't work great. They are also "distressed" which I guess I missed in the description. No biggie but at first I thought they were damaged. Cute little guys but kinda a pain to secure. Next year I'll lay stakes flat and anchor that in instead.
