It is pretty and sturdy, however a few dents and dings. Not worth my time sending back after it is all put together. My fiancé didn’t have any difficulty putting it together, except some areas did not line up as they should have together. We have had a lot of rain and windy days and so far it has been okay in the elements. The dings and dents will be covered with vines. It is still frustrating to purchase things online and get them out of the box already dented up. I love it but it is just a little frustrating when you pay even 80$ for something with a few flaws.
