Easy to put together, and works as described.  A little flimsy, but it's great for the price.  EDIT- Less than a year later and the plastic cover has holes all over it.  It's just been sitting outside by itself, so nothing impaled it, or caused the holes, other than normal weather.  The company said they don't just sell the plastic cover.  So, I would recommend bringing it in for the winter, if you want it to last for more than one year.
