I was a little skeptical beyond purchasing, but I actually quite enjoy this product. The price was adorable compared to most I had viewed on other sites and it was the perfect size for my long narrow porch fitting. (I did take measurements before buying and would highly suggest this before doing so that there is no disappointment) I assembled with my grandfathers help and it took us all of 40 minutes to put everything together from start to finish. This can be done with 1 person, but the extra set of hands did help with speeding up the process.
