Although this looks very nice, the material it`s made of is very flimsy. I haven`t tried to hang any plants from it yet, but if I so much as tap it, the hook arms fall off. I`m not sure how this is going to work when I put plants on it the end of this month.It really isn`t worth the price I paid for it.I assembled this plant pole knowing that it wouldn't be able to withstand a lot of weight (I read the reviews, and bought it anyway.)I created three planters out of two-liter soda bottles. After a week of watering my plants, I decided to move them around to face the sunlight from new directions. I was careful to make sure there were plants balancing each other out on either side. Not ten minutes later, the entire thing crashed to the ground. The pole is so flimsy that no amount of tension will keep it up for long. I do not advise buying this product.I really like this. It's pretty sturdy. The plant holders need to be curved to hold the plants and they can't hold any more than a 4 in pot or it will bend. I'd be afraid to put a 6" pot on there let alone threeThis is only good for, NOT PLANTS!This is so cheap and flimsy compared to spring loaded plant pole from the 70s. My 8” spider completely bent the “arm” to hang your plant from.It’s no stronger than a wire coat hanger. Paid $40 for something to hang my nitey on. I am sending back.Weak design, pole bends when placed. They just don't make things like they use to. Flimsy at best and needs reinforcement.Hangers are way too thin & weak...not strong enough to hold/hang anything. Small light weight pots keep sliding down.To short.I love this, I may need to order another one. I love how it holds the plants. I even figured out how to put it togehter, without directions. It should have directions.
