This is by far one of the best purchases we made for our new backyard. I hired someone to restain it for me before we put it up (based on other reviews we read) and I read that some of the holes didn't line up for others but I let my "guy" take care of it so I can't comment on that and if he had problems. It's REALLY nice wood and looks really really nice. It's a great size. I looked to have my "guy" make it for me and he said he couldn't even buy the materials for this price let alone staining it, the hardware, etc. Really like this and it's been great and looks great too!
