We love it!! It took my husband and a buddy a full day to get it together. The wood is soft but the other reviews allowed me to warn them so everything worked out fine. They went step by step and before our eyes it was done. Our backyard and patio is still a work in progress and I can’t wait until it all comes together. The steps are patiently awaiting the hot tub we ordered from Wayfair also. Oh..and love the color of the wood. It says grey but this is more of a natural wood look. We are very happy with this purchase.
