I think they look smashing ...as my British friend would say!
My goodness I absolutely love them. Yeah they're plastic but they really are lovely. Easy to put together and by the way, I'm 85 year-old young lady, and I did it all myself big deal… I hope they last a long long time because they look really spectacular on our driveway posts! Oh, and they give the needed lights that I was hoping for I really like them as you can tell. I'm heading off for a bridge game right now but tonight when the lights are on, I'll take a picture and try to add them here. I really really think they're lovely.

Bright idea
Burns bright. Lasts all night. Took more time to unwrap than it did to install

Looks good but but takes work to put it together.
Parts do not fit together well. Had to take a knife to trim top to make it fit. Plastic nuts and bolts. Light works well and stays lit for hours.

Looks Fantastic
Size: 1 Pack
Very easy to install, and looks very nice. It’s made from a durable composite material, not metal, but it’s built well. No one would know that it isn’t metal. On the pricier side for solar lamps, but you’re buying a quality product.

Good product for the price!
Size: 1 Pack, Size: 1 Pack
This light is not bad for being a solar powered product. I have it in the area that receives most of the days sunlight as this area gets full sun (that side of the house gets blasted). The light is on for about 6-7 hours. I am thinking of buying another one. Just note that the housing is plastic.... not super high quality, but it gets the job done for the price point.
