What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listed dimensions conflict: one entry gives 19.5L x 19.5W x 18H centimetres, while another gives 19.48 x 17.98 x 19.48 cm; 1.09 kg. Customer feedback also says the actual size seems smaller than pictured. The listing identifies the model as DE-BF0905 but gives DE-BF0902 as the manufacturer part number, so confirm the selected listing details if model identity matters. The solar light and weather protection are manufacturer claims, while customer feedback on lighting and sturdiness is mixed.
