I made it work. I have had it for 3 months. The seller delivery was fast. They should have packed it better, I had small half inch chip in the glass, but it was not visible from exterior so I proceeded to install. The pole is made of aluminum and in a couple of pieces. While the paint job appears good, the machining was not. It was bowed. I played with it and could align the two pieces so that the bow in the mast would not be as noticeable from the street. The base needs to be bolted to a surface or it will not stand up on its own, at least my bowed pole would not allow to balance. The solar panels and the 12 led lights do work. However be aware it is not as bright as a gas lamp or an electric lamp. I was a little disappointed with that. However it does stay lit through most of the night and saves money compared to the gas street lamp it replaced. It looks good and the aluminum should not rust like my previous gas lamp metal pool. I wish they had provided aluminum screws instead of metal to hold the two pieces of pole together, the screw heads started to rust and I treated them with “magic purple” de-ruster that I use for the cars. That seem to work. I made it work for me. My issues were mostly with the manufacturer.
