I first saw these when they were already sold out. I didn't have to wait long until I received the email saying they were back in stock. I debated about buying only one, but glad I went with two.  I love them!!  I figured I could always give one away, but they are so cute I had to keep both. I am using one for the front of my house and one for the back deck. These should withstand the weather for some years because the black coating seems thick.
