Was surprised by the quality and fit of this product. Ordered and 2 days later it was delivered. Product is packaged well and instructions, while lacking in words, have good illustrations. Needed only very sanding prior to primer and paint. This is for our beach house and appears to feel and look very sturdy. I painted and primed prior to assembly. The only drawback to this is that you have pieces layed out everywhere. I did not polyacrylic until it was primered, painted and assembled. This is a good buy.
