So far I love these! I purchased two and intend to get more. They are easier to put together than they seem. The cedar smells wonderful. The hardest part which everyone says too is hammering them into the ground. I think the stakes should have been more tapered to a point. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because one of the metal stakes had the holes misaligned so I had to make my own. It's not as easy as they state to drill holes in the metal. Some of the wood slates splinter as well. But it's light and pretty thick which is good so they don't fall down. It rained tonight so I will see how the wood held up. I love the clean retro look and I thought they were the nicest on the market.
