Once built this arbor is quite stunning. One of the pieces that connects the top of the arbor to the sides was cracked almost all the way through. The package arrived undamaged, so I’m assuming that this damage took place prior to shipping. It was easily correctable with an extra screw, and the drill that I used to put the arbor together. However, I was disappointed by the breakage. My arbor was true to the color pictured in the photos. The only other small negative, was that the pieces attached to the legs of the arbor in order to stabilize it in the ground were relatively small .
