What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are contradictory about size: the technical details give 32L x 32W x 42.2H centimetres, while feature and description text state 36×16×59cm. The feature text also describes a 36 cm round base, which does not match either full dimension set. Confirm the selected listing's measurements before buying. Customer feedback also includes mixed size experiences and reports of the post coming apart within a week, so consider these concerns alongside the stated size recommendation.

Less suited to
