Not that great
These moss poles look good with a possibility to grow all around, I like the completely clear plastic (compared to the slightly frosted ones. But I would not buy again for the following reasons :- Metal anchor rusts and doesn't do its job with aroid type soil. Ok with pon but will still rust anyway. So additional anchor is necessary if you plan to use this.- These are not stackable by default. You would need tie wraps to secure an extension. Which is ok but not ideal.- Pretty hard to assemble. The plastic lip you need to secure in the other end are pretty hard to get in there compared to other models.If these design issues would be solve - I would buy them again.

Good product, but tricky
This product is the first of its kind that I have encountered. Previously, I did not know that such a thing was available, or even in existence. Since this device has no moving parts, and does not involve complex modern technology, I have little excuse for the difficulty I found in assembling it correctly. Even so, it cost me a lot of head-scratching and some frustration before that final "Aha!" moment. The kit includes two plastic cylinders, five metal anchor pins, and a narrow roll of velcro-type tape. No instructions, at least not in the package that I received, so I checked the product listing for guidance. The first step is shaping the plastic cylinders into hexagons by folding them. The cylinders arrive snugly rolled, and each has a set of projections on one end. These, I assumed, were for splicing the two cylinders into one, taller cylinder by locking the projections into the hexagonal windows covering the surface of both cylinders. The projections, however, did not want to lock into place as I had envisioned. I turned my attention to creating hexagonal tubes out of cylinders, and tried repeatedly to fold the plastic, working with the rolls as they had arrived. They are kind of spring-loaded to keep that cylindrical conformation, and I was unsuccessful in creating any kind of neat fold lines to turn the cylinders into hexagonal tubes. Eventually, I took note of the part of the online instructions that indicated starting with plastic SHEETS, not rolls. The cylinders resisted being unrolled into flat sheets, but I was able to achieve that, and at that point I discovered pre-made lines in the plastic, obviously intended to aid in creating the necessary creases. But to my mind, they were running in the wrong direction, at a 90 degree angle to the direction the cylinders were determined to keep rolling back to. This made it obvious that the projections are not for vertical splicing, but for locking in the hexagonal shape. It was much easier to crease-fold the plastic on those lines, but I still have no idea why the product is pre-made to seek and return to a wrong-way roll. In any case, after that, it was clear sailing. The anchor pins do a decent but not great job at stabilizing the now hexagonal tubes into the soil of the big plant pot; I suspect that as the plant grows bigger and heavier, I may have to add additional support. But for now, everything looks good, and I am satisfied with this product. The tape, by the way, works very well.

Sturdy Enough to Last Long - Does the Job
I was suspecting these to be a little less shiny and also of lower quality going by the pictures and the posting itself but I was pleasantly surprised. They came out very good quality (at least by the looks of it) and the plastic was very clear and shiny - which I prefer.The material itself is not completely transparent which was expected but they are see-thru enough that whatever kind of moss you enclose it with - will be nicely visible from the outside. The plastic used is NOT very flexible and a bit hard - although it is enough to open the roll and fit around the moss tower.I do wish that they were taller - but I would not penalize the product for that because it was clearly mentioned how tall they are in the listing - I just realized when I had them that they should be a bit taller for my use. Overall satisfied with the item at this price point. Will recommend. I hope this review helps a few. Have a lovely day.
