What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these porch posts for their classic turned design and seamless match with existing columns, with many noting they blend perfectly with homes of any age. Most find installation straightforward and appreciate the primed finish that reduces prep work. However, a notable group reports serious durability issues including splitting at finger-jointed seams, mold growth, and rot at the base within months or years. Several mention the lack of a moisture barrier as a design flaw. Some also note the pre-installation paint stamp is difficult to cover. Despite these concerns, most customers consider them a reliable solution for porch restoration.

Standard porchcolumn. Solid and works as intended.
Would RecommendI really like the finish and the prime on this product. It is important to paint before installing and make sure you cut the top and not the bottom if you need to make an adjustment.

Buyer Beware
Would Not RecommendThese are finger jointed which separate and come apart even with a good paint job. They did not last! They are not worth buying. Not for outside use! Bad product.
Paint with Kilz first.
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.
Sand off paint first mark

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.

Good sturdy post, but marking to "paint before install" stamping bleeds though paint
