I bought 7 of these and have put together 5 so far, none of them are filled or even ready to be placed in the yard yet…still in assembly process! Plus I live in the PNW and it’s not quite planting season yet, but it’s getting there! They look beautiful and I’m so to get going! Assembly is easy! The shorter ones (17” are WAY easier to assemble) but overall, it’s a very simple process! The part that is the hardest is peeling the plastic lining off on both sides of each piece. This part seriously takes longer than putting it together.
