We purchased 8 of these for our front porch. They are brand new so I can’t speak to how well they age but they look beautiful now! They were a pain to assemble and several did not have the holes well lined up so we ended up needing to purchase a couple of special tools at the hardware store to make it work. (We are NOT handy at all so this might not have been a problem for a handier person.￼) Overall for the price and delivery time these are a win.
