I've probably owned 20 rakes over time, and this is by far the worst I've used.  It's also the lowest cost I've ever paid so that's why I would call it 2 stars instead of 1 (expectations should be very low).  The handle is made of a cheap softwood.  The head arrived not quite attached (it was flopping around), I had to tighten the bolt but that didn't make a solid connection, it would just crush the soft wood handle but still wobble.  Using a vise I was able to bend the metal sleeve to conform to the handle and get a poor but workable connection.  The weight of the rake head is considerably more than that of a quality rake, yet the tines bent very easily and quickly lost their alignment unlike a quality rake.  If you need a rake for use only once a year, this may be a good choice.  If you need a rake for weekly yard work, this one would be a seriously bad decision.  It's priced as a disposable rake, and performs that way.  For me, it's not worth the space it occupies.
