Very Classy Flag (Change that title to "Was a Very Classic Flag")
It's a beautiful wooden flag and will look stunning as the centerpiece on the privacy wall on my deck at my condo. Sturdy, well built and rustic looking. The only snafu was that the flag somehow was shipped to Bangkok Thailand instead of RI. How that happened is a mystery. After notifying the maker, he responded to my message in a timely manner and said another will be received in two days. Sure enough, it was. I would highly recommend getting one of these flags if you're looking for a patriotic display for your home. I have only one constructive comment for the maker. Include a means to hang it. There were no hooks included.<br /><br />Update as of Oct. 31, 2019:<br />Getting ready for winter so I decided to bring the flag in to save it from the harsh New England winter coming up. To my surprise, I find that the plywood used for the star field is warped and delaminating. There is mold forming on the front as well as the back, especially noticeable in the stars themselves. The whole right side is beginning to warp as compared to the reference line in the photo.<br /><br />All this since mid-June of this year. No way would it survive through the winter let alone additional years beyond that. I'm sorry, but I have to reduce my rating from 5 stars to only 1 considering what was paid for it and how poorly it is holding up. I had high hopes for this flag, but I can no longer recommend it as a "Buy" item.<br /><br />Update as of July 15, 2021:<br />Less than 3 summers use and the flag has to be disposed of due to severe warping. The blue field of stars is practically fully offfrom the rest of the flag. This has not been a satisfying or worthwhile experience. If it was outdoors for all four seasons, I could understand it not holding up. But these results for just summertime usage is crazy! Do not buy!
