Oh. My. Goodness! anyone who assembled this on their own is truly Super-person! It took hubby and I HOURS over 2 days to get it assembled. Be sure to have a strong power drill and something to prop the partially assembled pieces for 'resistance' when you are drilling. I don't know why ALL the screw holes aren't pre-drilled - that would immensely decrease the cursing! LOL... but it is a really nice trellis altho taller than expected. I'll post a picture once we get it in our garden.
