This arbor arrived quickly and was easy to put together. The wood was all in really good shape, no splits or cracks. The arbor comes in two boxes making it easy for me, 52 year old, 5’4” woman to carry it to the location where I wanted to build it. I was able to put 2/3rds of it together on my own and only needed some assistance turning it over and standing it up. It looks great in its location!
