This arbour was a challenge to assemble, be sure to read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly, it will save you a lot of frustration. Get the help of a second person and use a powered screwdriver so sink in all the many screws. Once assembled I really love it. I have it at the end of a small fence and I am growing butternut squash over it. Very attractive white arbour that matches my fence and house trim. I would recommend!
