I was a bit disappointed how the pieces of this were unsecured and uncovered in the box. I was worried that the top would be damaged. Luckily these are very heavy-duty. The shaft it's constructed if a stronger metal than I usually see in solar light stakes. But what is really impressive is the top. It has a metal screw into the stake and the fiber optics come directly out of the metal part. No plastic to wear down in the weather. The stake also contains a minimum amount of plastic and it seems like it will last long-term.
Once assembled, I tested out the lighting. The on/off button is covered instead of bare to the elements, a feature I find a welcome upgrade from similar models. The colors immediately lit up brightly and began a slow but brilliant color change. The whole display reminds me of a Jellyfish. I almost wish I could keep it. This product is more of a gift than I was expecting to give, and I like that. I hope to buy from this company again.
