This arbor was bought as a replacement for a previous arbor that was on its last legs. A recent storm knocked it over and that as the end of the old one.  This one was easy to assemble, however it definitely needs two people once you are ready to place the sides. I didn't give this five stars because there was no way to put a 2x4 post past the lower cross piece without some work and cutting on our part. We ended up having to cut the lower cross pieces and cut our wood to have the posts go high enough into the plastic so we could support it and place it properly (code in our area says you have to have supports for structures go 30 inches or more below ground. The additional white plastic pieces provided are less than 24 inches total). Overall, we like the arbor and it is nicer than the one we originally had.
