Went together easily, parts are labeled and instructions are clear. Assembles only one way, parts are not reversible. No missing parts or hardware, no unusual shipping damage just a few nicks here and there. Seems to be sturdy, I needed to raise it up to the window so it's attached to a sheet of exterior plywood. The wood is thin and if you're adding extra screws you will need to pre-drill holes. The little sliding door on the side doesn't have a screen in it.
