Originally I purchased the black/bronze pole and I absolutely love it. It came with the gold ball. That looked OK, but when I first bought the pole I went with the black/bronze because it was different. The addition of the same color topper makes it complete!
I’m really enjoying my flag pole. But I’m bummed because the wind hasn’t blown yet
I purchased my flagpole about 2 weeks ago and it arrived promptly within 4 days. I got busy and did the install that same day. It was really quite a simple job and I was done in about an hour. The quality of this flagpole is impressive. I purchased the black/bronze pole and it's a nice departure from the standard silver you see everywhere. I also complemented the pole with the black/bronze flash collar and the ball topper. Raising and lowering the flagpole is very simple and I am impressed with the locking mechanisms between the sections. I had been looking at flagpoles over the years and I am glad I came across this offering. The only thing I need to do now is pick out which flag I'll fly as my second on the pole. I highly recommend this flagpole.
I just replaced a full set of these less than a year ago (and not the 1st time) I change out my flag about every 3 months. I don't let the sections slam into each other. I take very good care of my things. Then to charge $20 shipping...... What a slap in the face. How much did it weight? Less than 10oz and its the size of a coke can. Sates a lot when a company nickel and dimes you for extra pennies .Guess I'll start looking for a quality part from China from now on.
