I postponed my review to make sure I could properly gage the longevity of these due to trying many others that easily broke. Unfortunately, these we absolutely no different. They are made of cheap plastic and the solar panels are not very good either. They do not hold a charge for longer than about a hour and a half, which was absolutely pointless for what I needed. The posts and anchors are both cheaply made and broke extremely easily. Do NOT put pressure on the top part to secure or you will push the anchor and shift holding the lantern all the way through it. These are made to use in loose sandy areas or very soft soil otherwise you are wasting your time and money. I truly hope this helps someone else in their decision making on these.
