Exactly as described, very easy to assemble. Looks much better than the AC compressor alone. Obviously very light in wieght relative to strong winds, I can see a good storm picking this thing up like a wind sail and pulling the 2 short provided spikes right up out of the ground. So I grabbed some 6 ft rebars $3.50 a peice from the orange store and drove them down with my hammer through the hollow colomns of these posts, the columns without the screws already going through them after assembly. Time will tell on the structural durability...   Looks great, wife was happy with it too.
