I was fairly disappointed in these faux palm trees with lights. The “trunk” portion of the trees are not molded plastic. They feel like styrofoam (probably over a metal rod), then the “bark” finish appears to be nothing more than cheap thin brown plastic wrap or tape. Now I will say, the lighting potion was in good working order and, even though they’re somewhat cheaply put together, the overall effect will be nice for our evening poolside get-togethers, which is why I purchased them. They are not nice enough to use as a permanent pool/patio decoration. I think the price point should have been in the $45-50 range. Unfortunately, I paid over $100./a piece.
