Great Product! (Poor Lowe's product page)
This product is high quality. The product description is right but the title is wrong. This is the 43in post. 43 inches does not equal 3-1/4 ft. The title is wrong.

See note above.
The staff was excellent, they bent over backwards to help find my order. Unfortunately, the inventory process and controls at Lowes lack even the basics. The order arrived, but was put away in location without an address, it simply said "Rack" on the screen. When the staff went to look for it, they had to search the entire rack trying to locate it, but couldn't. They then searched an outside location and found it. Again, the staff was excellent, but the inventory process and controls over s...
