Package arrived on time but box was damaged, no damage to trellis. Need two people to assemble. First we opened box and white foam pieces broken and a mess. We got out shop vac and as we pulled each piece out of box had to vacuum each piece to get to foam off. We didn't follow directions for assembly, we assembled the trellis from the top down. Put the finial on the top two arched pieces and then slid the first round piece into place and screwed in but not tight. Each round piece has a seam so if you want the seams to align up pay attention as you put each round piece on.   We proceeded to add legs and round pieces by section until we were done. Then we tightened all screws.  Used a socket wrench which made assembly much easier and quicker than using the included tools. Very happy with color, height and weight of the metal.
