I wasn't sure about the quality of them, when they first arrived and I was assembling them - I couldn't screw them too tight or I would hear cracking.  However, they have been up for months now and look great.  I thought they would fade, discolor quickly, or fall over easily, but they have done none of those things and the jasmine is flourishing on them.  So many neighbors have complimented them as well.  My first impression was proven wrong and I love them!  I'm moving soon and plan to order more for my next landscaping project at the new house.
