I ordered two of these. They are only slightly shorter than I was hoping, but still look beautiful. When I received one of them, it was damaged at the bottom, however wayfair was nice enough to send me a replacement which I am waiting on. So just based on that, I think the downside is the material that it’s made of is fragile. However once placed, it’s very sturdy and has held up against winds and rain, even the damaged one. Haven’t yet lit it, but looking forward to it.
