They are definitely smaller than you'd think which is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, but still lovely. Super easy to put together (like 30 seconds), and extremely light to move. I use mine on our patio by a plain outside wall with 4 pots of wild flowers and a few on the ground in front of it, and looks incredibly nice. The different heights really make the whole set up even more appealing. Completely recommend it for any setting, closed patio/deck, garden, front porch, etc.
