This arbor was very easy to put together and so gorgeous in our yard! It took my husband only a couple of hours to put it together, and also dig the holes to put the posts in. He put 2 x 4's inside the legs to reinforce them. I highly recommend this arbor for anyone wanting to spruce up their yard. We also planted wisteria next to the lattice work, and can't wait to see how it looks once t grows up over it.
