Perfect for what I wanted (and wanted to spend).  VERY light weight, so I weighted with glass beads per the recommendation of another reviewer.  Metal is thin, so can understand some reviewers saying bent when arrived but in the one place my was indented somewhat it was easy to just round out with finger pressure.  And I'd much rather have metal than plastic.  Bulbs can't be changed out and this is definitely not a product meant to last forever but it will provide the light I need to enjoy my patio more in the evenings and they are an attractive addition to my patio that any of the other options I saw in this price range.  Very pleased!
