Several reviews mentioned that the rings didn’t stay stable but I found they snapped into place and haven’t moved, even in an extremely windy cloudburst storm. The top fits more securely one way than the other. Be aware that there is X-shaped crossbar about 3 inches up the legs so placing this above an established plant would damage the plant. This was easy to assemble and looks very nice in the garden. Wish it came in a 6ft tall version.
