Received 11/16, assembled and used 11/18, reasonable assembly photos-but had to remove tip sensor to access hole for screw on assembling. Unit is stable and feels very solid. Used 11/18 at sunset-temp 60's and breezy. Sat in shorts and sleeveless T. Wife wore more. Unit performed nicely and gave enough light to read by after dusk-which was very pleasing. Our patio is on north and shaded Oct 15-April 1 so our need is to extend season usage. Looks like it will win for us.
