This item was as described and it was sturdier and heavier than some reviewers indicated.  I did not purchase this to electrify, I use it to block areas around my yard where the fence sits high enough for my dogs to go under.  And it works beautifully.  The only thing I could ask is that the bottom rungs could be a bit sharper so that it is easier to hammer down into the ground.  
For the purpose I purchased this for, the price is rather expensive.  But, it’s the only thing I’ve found that looks halfway nice and that does what I need.
