This flag pole kit is exactly as advertised. Not difficult to mount, in our case on the garage door trim. The metal pole comes in two parts, the rigid section and the upper section which spins. The mount is metal and does seem to be well made, and locks the pole in position firmly. The pole and mount got a first test right away as it was the wind is blowing pretty hard this particular day. The flag stayed in place even though at times it was standing nearly horizontal to the ground. I'm glad we decided to purchase this flag pole kit.

I just received it and haven't had a chance to use it in windy conditions, so I hope it'll hold up as promised.

Installed it on a very windy day and guess what... no more tangles.

Pole screws down into the sand well.  The tilt and vented umbrella is holding up fine to light winds. Used it several times and feel like it will last.

The first time using this tent we had wind gusts up to 75mph!!!  I was sure it was going to break, but it held up great. It definitely surpassed our expectations. Light weight and easy to set up and take down.

The flag does lool good, but, after the first two heavy winds here probably 35-40mph gusts...the top seam, the one the is "triple stitched"  or whatever is starting to fray. The flag is 2-3 months old. We''ll see if it gets worse.

Pole bracket not sturdy in regular storm wind. Was away from home when rain storm took place and found flag and pole in yard upon return home. Bracket was bent and twisted but pole and flag was still assembled and Eagle was still attached to top of pole, undamaged! If you decide to purchase this flagpole kit for the price, go to your local hardware store and buy a heavier gauge bracket to attach it to your house/porch.

great delivery service, no damage at all. amazed at construction of pole, heavy 10 gauge alum. Installation easy due to easy to follow instructons.
we have had 30+ MPH winds and no issues.

Unfortunately, the first time we used it, we had a heavy wind gust that caused two of the legs to break. Other than that, it was fairly easy to put up (four people required).

The strong winds on the Atlantic coast do tend to blow it over if you have it facing the wind directly.  Setting it up in this wind is a bit rough.  To combat the wind coming from the direction of the ocean, we had to have it facing to the side.  The good thing is that this umbrella fares better than most in the wind!

Purchased for an upcoming weekend to the Gulf where the wind is never ending.  Set up and take down by myself in my living room was simple.
The only thing I noticed so far is that one of the front section guy line connection points is not centered.  It is more to the middle than to the outside where it is pictured and where I'm sure it would be of more use.  I don't know if anyone else has that problem and it's only one connection point that is affected.  The material seems sturdy enough but some of the seams look like they could have been made stronger.  But then the price would be higher I'm sure. I'm optimistic there won't be any big issues. Time will tell. The connection point not being aligned properly is why I rated this three stars.  I will update my review after I've put the item to good use.

Update:  after twelve hours of abuse for two days in constant 20mph winds from the Gulf, I have to say this was a great purchase.  Having set it up prior to using it helped tremendously once I was on the beach.  I am also very happy about how much this helps to keep the sun from beating down on me without worrying about it moving.  Just make sure it faces the wind and you're set.  The guy line being off centered wasn't much of an issue once it was completely set up and I adjusted for the difference.  More of a cosmetic thing that bugs my OCD side but isn't really much of an problem overall.
In the end, buy it.  I was very happy I did and I'm sure you will be too.

I hate it. One good gust of wind knocked it sideways and one of the poles snapped even with weights on all four corners.

I bought two of these and on day 1 of a bit of wind, they were goners!!  now I have REI which is much better in the wind.
Don't bother using it on windy rainy days or you will be sorry

This is a wonderful device. Easy to set up and install of the extension pole. Directions very clear to get the machine working properly. Enjoy the silly messages when the wind is really whipping and it is raining extensively.

Quick set up time and held up to a wicked storm the first weekend I used it.

It feels tough and it's not too heavy.  I am carrying my big pole plus a smaller second pole (I think I could fit a third).

It looked good and all but the first wind storm here in Montana had it parked in the front yard and the wind tore it right off my pickup the stitching didn't hold up
