It was easy to put together.  No problems there.  My main issue is the boards are thin and I doubt it will last more than one season. Also, the "decorative" tops are just straight cut pieces of wood, not decorative at all. I would have preferred that it came with 2 extra corner posts to stack them.  I have 2 4x4 that I purchased 2 years ago (from somewhere else) that I think will outlast this one.  Also, the manufacturer that was listed on the site did not correspond to the name on the box of the product.  Sub maybe?
