The dimensions are Height 1.9 meters and Diameter 39 centimeters.

Is the obelisk suitable for outdoor use year-round?

What is the color of the obelisk?

Troubleshooting

Obelisk feels unstable after setup

Ensure the legs are pushed deeply and evenly into the ground. If the ground is too soft, consider using additional stakes or securing it to a nearby structure if appropriate.

Parts do not fit together during assembly

Check that you are using the correct parts for the current step as per the instructions. Ensure no parts are bent or damaged. Gentle adjustments may be needed.

Powder coating appears to be chipping

This is typically due to impact. If minor, it can be touched up with black metal paint. Avoid scraping or abrasive cleaning.
