Easy to assemble - although it took the 2 of us.  Used it at the man door into the farm shed where I held my wedding reception.  Decorated it with fake greenery and flowers - it was perfect for my venue.  Now it is in my garden and looks as good now as it did 2 years ago at the wedding even through the winter.  Had to anchor it with some metal rods up the legs so that it remained in place - but that was easy enough to do.  Very pleased.  Highly recommended.
