The material is a little flimsy, but it did work. The pole could've been a little longer and made a little sturdier after all it is lifting up something out of the water. It was very easy to use, and it arrived on time. Also, it was easy to assemble. I would recommend this item. And the material is a little flimsy, but it did work.
