Arrived in good time. VERY simple to assemble. None of your own tools required. Some scuffing and very minor abrasions on some of the pieces, thus -1 star. Hardish wood looks durable. Slight low-gloss finish attractive. I wonder how it well tolerate weather. Not as lightweight as cedar, but still easy for one person to carry. Construction looks solid. Good fasteners; will they tarnish or rust? Time will tell.
