Empire Home Natural Thin Bamboo Stakes Over 5 Feet Tall - Pack of 20 (Natural Brown)

NEVER, NEVER purchase this item from this seller. The product received is very, very poor quality (inconsistent width, diffferent length, some are very brittle, some are rotten in deteriorated condition, and broken-up, some are not even bamboo). Out of 40, there is only 5 or 6 decent quality bamboo. I brought similar product from other sellers, but at least good quality product. The seller seems to intentionally mix the select bamboos with fake bamboos. I regret that I didn’t read all the previous comments left by others.

These are terrible. I bought another brand of these earlier this summer and they were awesome. I could save a dollar or so on these when I needed more, so being the savvy shopper I am, I went with these. Big mistake. They are skinnier than twigs I could find in my yard. Forget about being able to push them into loose soil in a garden. They snap if any weight at all is applied them. I ended up using sticks from the yard ☹️

These bamboo sticks could not be pushed into even soft ground. Every one I tried, broke or shattered. Even when I held it above the first "joint" and pushed into wet ground, they broke off. Most were so thin they could not support anything. I'm not sure what use they could be put to with any plant over 12" high. I had much higher expectations based on the material presented. I will not buy these again.

I used this product to support tomato plants in my raised bed which is pretty loose soil. The sticks were dryer and brittle than ideal and broke off much more easily than other bamboo products i've purchased. I wouldn't buy this brand again.

Hollow and rotted pieces.Like straw.Very few solid.

Every single one came split at both ends only a couple feet were useful but not by much I had to use 6 for one tepee and in not sure that will be strong enough. Don’t waste your money. We spend the summer at our camper so I’m going to just find small limbs to use.

Most bamboo sticks are so thin that it litterally breaks just getting it out of packaging.

Too thin and frail for the purpose I got them for. I wanted to use them for a climbing plants trellis/frame. I should have vetted the thickness specs... oh... only height was mentioned, not the thickness. Disappointed.
