Customers overwhelmingly praise this bracket for securely holding 4x4 posts with strong, dependable performance across deck, porch, and shed installations.

While the vast majority find it reliable and practical, some express concern about the price, calling it expensive. A few users note minor durability issues under extreme stress or gaps where screw holes aren't recessed, though these remain uncommon complaints.

Too Flimsy
Would Not RecommendToo Flimsy. Post was not stable enough to eliminate or reduce movement; would not hold up to 200 pound pressure.

Too Small
Would Not RecommendThese don’t even fit the end of a 6’x6’ post. They are useless.

Not for use if you want substantial strength.
Would Not RecommendVery flimsy!! Attached it to concrete, installed the 4x4 post to it and the whole thing fell over bending and ripping the bracket out of the concrete.
