I really enjoy the style of this arbor. I did paint it with raw linseed oil to make it more weather proof before assembling. It was relatively easy to put together by myself and it seems sturdy enough.  We live in Florida so time will tell how long it endures in our hot sun and humid weather.  
LIt looks a little shorter than it appears in the catalog pictures  but we are in the midst of building a raised bed garden and I intend to attach it to the inside of the bed structure at a higher level than the ground so that is not as important to me as it could have been otherwise.
