Flimsier than expected
By BrentVerified Purchaser from Greencastle, PA on 5/13/2011
Pros:

Cons:
Cheap Hardware, Flimsy, Poor Design, Thin Metal Bands
Best Uses:
Decorative
Describe Yourself:
Avid Gardener, Eye for Quality
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Essex Half-Round Tuteurs:

The design is attractive, but the metal bands are very thin and bend & twist easily during assembly. The threads on the bolts don't match those on the nuts. If you want the bolts to stay in place you need to get your own hardware and spray paint them black. I wish the components were just a little heavier. Time will tell how this holds up to the elements.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Essex Half-Round Tuteurs:

No instructions included. Hardware from India was mis-matched and poorly cast. I had to use my own fasteners Very shoddy finish. After 2 rains rust has already developed. Find better quality
