Great quality. Attractive and heavy duty. One small issue though. I cannot use one of the torches because the stake won't assemble. When screwing together the 3 stake pipe pieces, one of them won't screw together. There seems to be a machining defect when the threads were machined. One part of the fittings is too small to screw together,so i cannot assemble it.This torch is beautiful, and the color was exactly how it was in its description. In addition, it withstood heavy rain, easily lit up the same night, and so far, show no signs of rust. Some tips:The torch is one unit, so you may need to pull the wick out for lighting. (I used needle nosed pliers to pull one of the wicks out.)The hole is small for pouring the citronella fluid in the torch. This is easily remedied by using a small funnel. This feature also adds to the fact that the torch keeps the fluid safe from rain.Regarding the torch poles, one of them wouldn't thread (each torch has a two-part pole), but the manufacturer responded right away and sent a replacement at no charge. You can definitely trust their customer service!Overall, this torch's functionality and look are great, and offer a beautiful view when looking out the window. I highly recommend!Easy period.I love these. Very nice design & they burn well. I’m probably going to order more.My husband and I purchased these for our back patio. We love them! They are of good quality.Well made! Work Great! I would highly recommend.Very nice! Sleek look to them!I have had one set of four torchieres that I have loved for probably 15 years. The top of the pole is in a cone shape so the vessels have to have a pointy bottom. actually very similar to these, they just come further down into a point instead of having a flat bottom. I replaced them a couple times finding them at various places. Then one started leaking and I could no longer find replacements so I just had three. That’s OK. Then other things started to happen and my husband threatened to throw them out. I was able to finagle and make them work for a few more years. Two of the three are now leaking. Yesterday my husband said he was going to the dump today and was taking the older, leaky torchieres with him, I had better start looking for some new ones ? Fair Enough, they were old and dangerous. I spent several hours searching at all the regular places… Front gate, Home Depot, Wayfair etc. finally found some that I liked on Amazon. These! When I clicked on them I got a little notification at the top that I had purchased these in 2016! I completely forgot… I purchased these in 2016 then decided to try and make my old ones work and keep these for down the road. Well, it’s down the road. I pulled out the box, got them all set up and I love them! When I look at the pictures I’m not sure I liked the old ones so much. Highly recommend the new ones! I will note that everyone is correct, once you attach the polls together and pound them into secure them into the ground, they are short. I’m fine with that but they’re probably at 4 feet, 4 1/2 feet.
