Just put this together. I like it. Like the colour of wood, don't have to paint out like my one at the old house, similar but different. Had to look up instructions online. They weren't great but showed me that it was simple. Just watch the bottom thing that you put the "ribs" into. I put it upside down thinking I was following the instructions. If it were a little pot, put it right side up, attach ribs and then put the "lid" on top.
