We asked before purchasing if this had a grommet or something to hold the flag up on the pole. The nylon material is very slippery. We were told that it did. Some purchasers even said they had a leather strap to hold the flag in place at the top of the pole. We didn't get either a grommet or strap. My husband had to punch a hole in at the top so we could secure it, so the top of it wouldn't slide down on the pole. A grommet would have been excellent. Those reviewers that complained about the stars not positioned correctly are right, but it is not visible from the street.  We live in sunny SoCal with daily winds. After 18 months it is faded and tattered at the corners. We purchased this Nov 2015, and it needs replacing. The attached photo shows the current condition of the flag after 18 months. Not sure I would recommend this or buy again.
