This mount is very well made and strong for the price. I have a long pole with two flags hanging side by side and it holds them up well. The appearance of the white enamel is attractive. The only problem is that the horizontal position is not completely horizontal, the angle of the flagpole is about 5 degrees. I wanted to use flags to block my neighbor's ugly satellite dishes from my deck. With this mount, the flags are not parallel to the railing on the deck. It's not regulated at all, so there's nothing I can do.
