The gold was already scratched upon arrival and the hole for the stake to attach to the plaque was right below one of the address numbers - therefore, when the screw was inserted into the hole for attaching, we couldn't screw it all the way in because the raised number was in the way. I will update with a photo to show this, but the hole for the stake was not like the photo. It was on the address plaque and in the way of the numbers. Very disappointed, since it was a housewarming gift.
