It came bent, it was kind of hard to put together because the holes didn’t meet up to put the screws in.It took me two hours to put it together alone. The directions are vauge and the pictures don't look like the pieces. Make sure the bench seat is facing the right way before you tighten or you'll be removing it to turn it around. Don't lose any nuts or bolts. There are no exrras. Allen wrench bolts would have been easier. The Philip's/flathead hybrid things you grt were a PITA. The Philip's stripped wasier and flathear are challenging if you shake at all like I do. Good luck and breathe.Already put up in my backyard & looks great. It was easy to assemble & I can't wait to grow some climbing vines on it too.The L brackets were a struggle. But beautiful once put together.Plants vines cramming upVery attractive in the front yard.They really catch you on shipping. There are lots of other companies that will ship it faster to you and it ends up being the same price as this one after shipping so don’t be afraid to shop companies. Some of the pieces don’t fit flush with each other, and I’m a bit worried about rusting considering the quality of the product isn’t super great. They do mention it is supposed to be rust resistant but many reviews mention that it rusted quickly. I like how light weight it is and it seems to be pretty sturdy so I’m excited to get it out into my garden!This arch was a little bit of a challenge putting together. I used it for a display with Christmas lights and ornaments. It was perfect for that. Everyone loved it.
