I knew these were not "real" boat flags & were only meant for decoration when I purchased them, but this set is garbage. I would have paid $30 for these, but certainly not worth the close to $100 they want for them. Certainly for indoor use only. You will NOT be able to use these even on a covered screened-in porch setting.These flags are well made and have great coloring to them, The rope that attaches the flags and the white fabric on them is more of a creme color but they are what you would expect if you hand sewed your own batch of nautical flags. Very happy with the purchaseThey must have gotten wet during transit because the colors all ran togetger. The whites are all powder blue now. This product was not as nice as I hoped.Disappointed that the flag colors are only printed on one side........kinda cheap lookingItem just as expected and arrived quicker than indicated when ordered
