3 Months Later...It Fell ApartDate: 2002-10-06 Rating: 2 out of 10My beautiful garden arbor that I've had only since June finally collapsed into 3 pieces. As you might have read in my previous review, my husband and I fortified the shoddy construction with additional screws and glue. It just really couldn't withstand the Texas heat. I'm not sure what happened to the thing, but it started rotting on the top/center about 2 weeks after we set it up. Then, the side rails split and finally broke on one side. And it was just sitting there! No more big storms, just the Texas heat. Maybe it melted the glue? Who knows, but my money did not entirely go to waste. I've cut off the top on one side and saved both planters. They are still in one piece. My new advice, pass on this arbor

BewertungenVery nice design, needs improvement in workmanshipDatum 2002-08-05 Rang: 6 von 10We bought one for a gift for around [price], put it together. Some minor defects, but liked it so much we bought one for ourselves for around [price]. Box was opened at seam. Screws were missing and parts were broken. Decided it was less touble to repair it than to send it back. Seems to be OK. Now price is ...? Wish we would have gotten the others at this price.Great Looking, Better Price!Datum 2002-07-08 Rang: 10 von 10I have been looking for an arbor for the past year and have finally found one that was well under the [price] dollar range. I paid [price] and thought it was a great deal, but Amazon.com has now dropped it another [price], making this the best deal you'll find anywhere. It will take about 45 minutes to assemble and it's much easier with a screw gun or drill. The wood is beautiful and has a good, heavy sealer on it already, but since I live in Oregon I decided to put an extra coat of water sealer on and the wood really shines now. It is not the most sturdy of the best arbors, but it is not weak or flimsy by any means and once you plant something in the flower boxes, it helps to stabalize it. But, this is truly a great value for the money and I highly encourage anyone that wants to add a beautiful visual display to their back yard to invest in this piece. Great Looking, Flimsy ConstructionDatum 2002-06-17 Rang: 8 von 10I have been researching garden arbors for about a month now and was really excited to see this one...Once assembled, the arbor is beautiful and smells wonderful...good quality cedar. The bad news is that it arrives unassembled (obviously) and is shoddily constructed using STAPLES. Unfortunately, in shipping, the arbor was actually broken in 4 places. Fortunately, my husband is an excellent carpenter and they do include wood glue with the screws used to put it together. We patched it up, then took about 2 hours to put it together, and added an additional 4 screws for extra support. That night we had a massive, unexpected storm and we expected to see the arbor strewn about the yard. It had been blown over, but was in one piece. Overall, I do recommend this item if you are handy with wood and don't mind spending a little extra time putting it together. It is a great, expensive looking piece when completed. Design appealDatum 2002-06-15 Rang: 8 von 10I had to work with it to assemble it properly as some of the holes were a tight fit. Used the glue and added steel plates to the top of the arch as one had come apart. I sank the planter box feet into the ground so the box sat on the ground. To protect the wood I put down some landscape fabric and also lined the inside. Then I filled the planters with garden soil and planted bougainvillea. I like the look very much
