I was skeptical about putting this together because it looked so intimidating, but it was actually pretty easy to assemble. Follow the instructions to the T. I ended up having to put things together and take it apart because something was flipped around or something was not on the right side or upside down, but I eventually got it done. I could’ve done this in about three hours, but it took me a little longer because I had to disassemble things that were put on wrong. Instructions Are very easy to follow the only thing that I could not figure out at the end was how to put the canopy on for it to stay. I’m still trying to figure out how to put this canopy on. This is not made of the best material so it will not last, very cheaply made but it looks wonderful very pleased. I plan on getting some big pots and putting the base legs in it with cement and put some flowers on it to make it look really cute.
