Just got mine in. Had nearly 2 full packs that were out of spec from the item description. They're supposed to be 1/4" in diameter. Take a look at the following pics:




I returned 2 packs and kept the best 25 of 75. These are really hit and miss. Sometimes they're fantastic. Sometimes not so much. What can ya do? Returned 2 packs and ordered a 50 pack of these metal plastic coated stakes for $35. I've ordered a few packs of these in the past and they're awesome. The only reason I have been apprehensive about ordering more is because they're expensive, but 50 for $35 is a steal of a deal. I paid $30 for a pack of 25 last time. I think this experience convinced me to be done with bamboo. And with a 50 pack of the metal plastic coated stakes there's really no reason to monkey with the hit or miss bamboo anymore. I measured 1 stake at under .9 inches. Not even 50% of the advertised spec. It is what it is.
