Sturdy but poorly made

The brackets are heavy duty metal which is great. Unfortunately, as another reviewer wrote, the pieces don't form a 90 degree angle when snapped together as shown in the picture in the listing. I probably should have sent it back as defective but I was in a hurry and didn't want to wait for new parts. It took several hours, but with the help of a sledgehammer, I was able to bend the pieces so that they formed almost a 90 degree angle. Then I had to sand the mating surfaces a bit. Now that I…

Pros
  • 8 pcs. - 4 sets of rack post connectors with screw, enough for 4 corner pendants.
Cons
  • I will add later

During assembly I had to improvise

These are really good and strong mounts, but they don't work on 2x4 or 2x6 wood as shown by the manufacturer. Many said the holes weren't where thicker boards should be, I had to improvise a bit and found I could get them to work by putting one of the pieces between two boards I had tied together (see photo). It turned out very well in the end. Another problem is that the bolts are not long enough for this thicker tree, so I had to replace all the bolts with longer ones. So it cost me more…

Pros
  • screws included! 4" long x 2-1/2" high - 3 screw holes (5/16" diameter)
Cons

Bad design. Bad equipment. It might still work.

As previously mentioned, the brackets are not properly bent. It only took me a few minutes to change them in a desktop vise.

When attaching to a 2x4, two major design flaws become apparent: 1) The hole pattern is too close to the corner. The inner bolts are too close to the corner.2) The inner nuts interfere with each other. To fix this, the holes in the corner MUST be countersunk. 3) The hexagon heads…

Pros
  • Heavy-duty steel, zinc plated for rust and weather resistance.
Cons
  • Only available in white
