Flimsy for garden stakes, but they are OK for staking up canna lillies, gladiolas and such for a couple of months with clips of course.  Too flimsy to use for pole beans or anything that needs sturdy stakes.  Gardener for 40+ years that's tried it all.  These are OK in a pinch if you don't have stronger wire stakes to use.  Best if you have soft ground to put them in or they will break easily.  The price isn't bad for 25 stakes if you can find a use for them.  They won't last more than a year or two at the most if used for temporary purposes.
