I like the packaging. The pole and other items appear to be good.until two of the Poles were bent requiring, for one of them, to use pliers, in turn tearing the thin metal. Knowing from experience, in inclement weather, wind, take your flags, at minimum, down or the pole will bend and tear. Even though this product purports to be sturdy, heavy guage, etc, it's blowing at 9mph and the pole is all over the place. Bent Poles led me to give this 3 stars.See full review
