There were a couple of problems with this product, the assembly was simple but when threading the pole together hand tight the interior female thread sleeve came loose on the top third of the pole, this will require disassembly (may be difficult due to loose thread sleeve) and application of epoxy to keep sections aligned. The second problem was the base pole section screws on at a slight angle, it is not at a right angle to the base, this will be easier to repair, just place a level on the light pole and add spacers below the base to make straight. The looks would give it a “five star”, but the lack of quality control drop it to a “three star”, if I was less patient it would be lower.

A surprise for my niece’s library hideaway. She LOVES it.
