This is so worth the money. Takes a day to put together and although it calls for 2 people, my handyman did it alone and just needed me on occasion to hold something up. I love the way it turned out - it has held up to some torrential down pours already. We are very happy with it for the price and the stylish look. Also the handy man who put it together for me liked it so much he ordered one for himself - So that is the ultimate seal of approval. lol
