seems like this is strong enough to hold small flower basket or light. Not for bigger items.Really flimsy, had to take middle portion out or would fall over from weight of feeder.Item is much smaller than pictured and bent when putting into the ground.Fast shipping. These are sturdy and well coated to protect from elements. I may order a few more.Read carefully. I thought this was 80 inches, it’s 80 cm. Just comes up to my left butt cheek. Not happy at all.The unit is barely 24 in high when pushed in the ground
