Easy to put together, we still need to put it upright in the yard but for the price this was more than expected...Typically you get what you pay for but..hmmm I think I have the better bargain with this Arbor. I did search Home Depot, Amazon, Lowes, etc. for a cheaper one....worried about what this would be when it arrived. I am happy it is made with sturdy and not a cheap arbor.
