The flag is beautiful, and so well made. I love that the stars are actually embroidered on. I have seen the flag get "flung" around over the pole once, but it has not actually wrapped tightly around it, so that is a big improvement over our old set-up. It just took a moment to pull it back to full un-furl, and, so far that has only been necessary once. This is the main reason I purchased this flag and pole for our farm ~ because our old flag seemed to constantly need to be rescued from being wrapped up ~ so I am Very pleased.
