In all, i was very pleased with this product.  The instructions were easy to follow, the product seems very durable, and it looks great when put together.  My only complaint is how it was packaged for shipping.  Two of the poles were scratched and dented due to the lack of foam packaging.  All the poles were covered with a very thin foam wrapping which did not protect it during shipping.  Luckily it was in a spot that you cant see once put together.
