We're waiting for a permit so it hasn't been assembled yet. We are placing it on a paver patio and requires footings, so I waited to actually get the product before submitting the permit application. I'll be laying out the footings and installing them myself. I was a little disappointed with the hollow post legs (not solid wood). Otherwise it appears to be well designed. The directions seem quite well written and easy to follow. I'm expecting it to be perfect for us.
