I had high expectations for these obelisks after reading such glowing reviews, but I have to say that they are the cheapest, most poorly constructed , flimsiest garden elements I have ever seen.  The wood is very thin and full of knotholes.  The company replaced one panel that completely fell apart in the box in the shipping process, but it too was damaged in shipping.  The obelisk sections are put together with very short and substandard nails that are not long enough to hold one piece to another; however, if you use stronger nails the wood is so thin that it will break.  Horrible that Wayfair charges so much for these pieces of pure garbage.  Do not buy with confidence.
