I purchased this did my wife for Christmas and waited to put it together when it started getting warm outside.  I really do like it.  It seems sturdy and probably weather resistant.  The assembly was straight forward but I knocked a star off for the screws not being pointed making it hard to start and the screws should have been for a regular screwdriver so i didnt have to use that flimsy tool they provide that makes it take twice as long to assemble.
