After reading all the dissatisfied reviews, I had to let you know my experience. When I notice that a lantern won't light or that they seem dimmer than normal, I go out with a clean, damp rag and clean the solar cell! They become dusty/dirty over time and need this. If I remember, I just hose them off when watering my flowers, and this prevents the need to clean them off.
I did notice the stakes are a little wimpy, but just use care when moving them.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS CONSUMERS HAD TROUBLE WITH THESE
LIGHTS--I HAVE FOUR OF THEM FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS AND RECENTLY
ONE OF THEM HAS STOPPED WORKING WHICH I THINK MAY BE DUE TO A
CRACK IN THE LANTERN WHICH WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A THROWN STONE
FROM THE LAWN MOWER. EVEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER WHEN THE SUN IS
NOT AS STRONG THEY WILL LIGHT. I AGREE THAT THE RODS AND PIECE
THAT GOES INTO THE GROUND IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE LANTERN DUE TO
IT BEING PLASTIC--BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE CAREFUL.
I LOVE THEM!!!

They discourage me in regards the reliability of other solar powered lights. I have had the exact same problems as the other two reviews had, but I also was not very happy at the fact that when they did stay lit they didn't light up brightly. I am thinking about buying some different lights, but I think I will do some serious inquiring beforehand, and buy maybe only one to see how they work before I get any others in that brand. These things are too expensive to not work good....if they work well then the "expensiveness" becomes not so expensive and worth the price.

I bought these last summer and I am so disappointed with them. They are very pretty, but aren't made well. When putting these together some of the plastic pieces that are steaked into the ground broke off aroung the edges. Then I had to work on some of the lights to get the bar holding the light out to stop sliding down the upright bar. They also never wanted to stay standing up. The light seems to tilt the pole over and they aren't sturdy. Most disappointing of all, they didn't last. The lights won't even stay on for an hour now. I took them up and now they are resting in my garage because I was so embarrassed to have them out anymore. I would replace the batteries, if I could find some solar powered ones, but no luck.

I received these lights in June for a Wedding gift and they worked great! They would stay on almost all night long for about two months. However, now they go out within an hour after being on? These lights look pretty, but don't light-up but for only an hour or so.
