What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these porch posts for seamlessly matching existing columns, with the turned design and elegant styling earning consistent compliments. Most appreciate the pre-primed and painted finish, noting it saves time and effort, while many find installation straightforward and lightweight. However, some report receiving defective units with visible cracks, mold, or splitting, and several note dimensional discrepancies—posts labeled six inches measuring closer to four inches. A few mention missing moisture barriers at the base and confusing instructions. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider the posts an excellent value that significantly improves curb appeal.

Would RecommendMatches what was installed on my porch 23 years ago. The warning to paint prior to installation is stamped on the post in black and is hard to cover with paint. I ended up having to paint over it with Kilz and then repainting the post.
Decent columns per price point.
Would RecommendThe only problem was quality. Had a few bad spot as that even sanding couldn't fix.

Good product that is exactly as described
Would RecommendI needed to replace a rotten post on my back porch and this was a match. The post was true and straight with only a few minor defects. It already came primed and painted well. It only needed a small amount of sanding and prep prior to painting.
Perfect fit
Would RecommendThey were exactly as described and expected.
Worst purchase ever - fell apart!
Would Not RecommendTwo of these columns broke in half as we were carrying them to the parking lot (we were carrying them properly). Lowe's replaced them for us, at least. The columns have been up for 8 months and have cracks through them, chunks missing, and are covered in mold! What a waste of time and money - I will now have to replace the columns all over again- another $1000 for the installation at least.
