Love the arbor once we got it up.  I usually do these projects solo but it was a good thing my hubby was here and offered to help.  The directions for assembly are poor.  We basically counted pieces and depended on trial and error.  We did have to drill a couple holes that had no match.  I like the look and heaviness of the arbor.  Much sturdier than my  last.  We will have to add some bent rebar to secure it to the ground.  The stakes are not sufficient for the tornadic winds we experience here.
