Giving 5 stars because overall good value for the relatively low price.  Assembles relatively easily. It's designed to be permanently mounted in concrete or the ground, but we (like most users) prefer to have the flexibility of moving it -- and so we are making our own base (and tossing the cheap plastic base cover).  The one critique is that the manual's operation instructions are not really clear, and there is no "off" marking on the unit itself.  Uploaded is a picture of the off position, which might be helpful to some new users.
