The hardware itself is a dream. We are using it outside and it's sturdy and dependable, and has held up well in the weather. It was a fairly easy install, but youll definitely want 2 people. We opened everything up inside first and marked all of the hardware, which was very helpful. The only negative I have to say is that we had to have it shipped twice becuase UPS marked the first one as damaged before it got to our house. So once we got it to arrive it was smooth sailing. Its also packaged really well. Wayfair was very helpful in getting a replacement shipped to us! Kudos to them.
