Carver’s Olde Iron 20" Aluminum Mushroom Water Hose Guides for Garden, Plants and Flower Beds

This mushroom hose guide first of all is so cute! It looks like a mushroom! It comes in 3 pieces in the small box. It required the top of the mushroom to screw in to the bottom half. It’s easy to screw in and the threads have all matched up. It seems to be made well and is durable.I thought $25 was a steep price for the guide initially, but it works so well, it’s aesthetically pleasing, it fits in the ground in a small area, I’ve bought a handful of these to put around my property. The mushroom is tall enough so it catches my hose every time! My hose glides around it and it makes watering outside so much easier when I turn the corners. I would highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. Super cute, heavy duty hose guides. They're perfect for my needs,and look great while doing it !

I’m going to buy a couple more. They are cast aluminum. They seem pretty sturdy so I’m hoping they last a few years. Only down side I can see atm is the paint is already chipping off. Not a huge deal breaker for me. Hoping they will get a natural patina.

Looks great, heavy sturdy metal. Doesn’t budge when I pull hose around it due to sufficiently long stake. I’ve had it for 2 months now in my yard where it gets direct on all day long and it’s still looking great. The metal finish is great because the sun doesn’t reflect brightly. Stands out while blending in. I love them.

Great quality. Easy to assemble. And it works! Love it.

So cute! Good quality and have had no problems with them at all! Will be placing orders for more!

Subtle nestled in my garden beds and doing the job I bought them for, which is being a simple hose guide.

You would think for the price you are getting a quality product. Probably the only quality piece about this is the mushroom head itself. The 2 pieces that make up the stem are very narrow. I would have thought to hold up against any decent hose the step should be twice the size in diameter. In addition, the step is made up by two pieces that you thread together. When you thread them together and then the top one to the mushroom head, the units continue to spin as if the inner thread mechanism is loose. In other words, the lower part to the upper stem and then the upper stem to the mushroom head, continue to spin when you are trying to tighten them. No, it was not because I put to much force on them to strip the thread, as I can easily unthread them just as easy. They are just cheaply made. The look is nice, the mushroom head itself seems to be of somewhat good quality, they just need to work on the stem and how the overall unit it put together. Not worth the $20 I paid. I probably might pay $3-5 at a retail store but I wouldn't pay more. I gave it a 1 star across the board, because of what I mentioned, and I just don't know if this will hold up over time.
