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 Not RecommendDon't waste your money on these. They will rot within 3 years and they will say it's installation error which voids warranty. You might get lucky. My step dad installed these on his 10 years ago with no problems. I bought these for that reason and he installed these just like he did his own and these are completely rotten in just over 3 years. For the price that's not right. The company first said it was probably "Chinese poles" Lowes used to carry and not theirs. Then after pics sent they said ...

Check Size
Would RecommendBought pole never realizing the true dimension is <4", didn't work I needed the next size labled 5". Also the poles were incorrectly stocked which made it fun to look for it.

Specs Are Off
Would RecommendI sense this is a case of Turncraft ammending the column design and never informing Lowes. I bought this to replace a similar 12-year-old+ Turncraft column that had become rotted at its base. The specs Lowes gives in the product description tab are exactly the specs on the column I was replacing, but they are not the specs on the one they are currently selling. The turning starts 42 1/4" from the bottom (not 42") and is 41" in length (not 40"). Unfortunately I didn't realize this until after I h...
I shop at no other store for my needs.
Would RecommendI do not even consider going anywhere else for the things I need to improve my home. Lowe's cannot be undersold so why even try. I only live 5 minutes away and find myself there no less than twice a week. All employees are always ready to give you a helping hand in finding what you may be looking for or suggest something else that may work. Lowe's is my favorite store.

Looks better than a regular post
Would Recommendi really liked the look. It is much nicer than a square post. This turned post also has a lifetime warrantee, so we will see how it holds up.
