Easy to assemble with a mallet or hammer. No screws, nails, or glue. Comes with ground cloth (which I stapled) to prevent soil from falling through. I sealed the wood and caulked the inside seams just 'cause I could. Realistically, all wooden outdoor garden items have a finite life span. I just wanted to add a couple of years.
Good quality wood and mill work. Good instructions. A little heavy/unwieldly when finished so expect to use two to move to final location.
