This system is very tricky to put together. When it arrived, a few parts were broken/missing, however, the company was very quick to send out replacements, which was great. As a very novice handyman it took forever to get this system up. A lot of it was just figuring out what goes where and which parts were which. Someone with more experience may be able to figure it out quicker. I like the look, I just don't know that it was worth the effort.
