Sturdy and looks really nice in our offices. Liked it so much I ordered 5 more! Needs 2 people to assemble (1 person just to help hold in place). While it took a little while to assemble the first one, the second was a breeze! (Don’t tighten the screws until it is all assembled!:)) I expect this piece to accent our building and porch very nicely, clean easily, and hold up very well!
