The 7ft Wood Arbor with planters was pretty simple to put together! However the stain and the durability of the piece has worn down over time. The metal hinges I spray painted originally matched the wood, now you clearly see the difference.

Where do I begin, initially I was very drawn to this garden arch with planters. However, after opening the box I noticed some issues right away. First, this wood has an odor to it that gave me a headache. Then I picked up a few pieces and was shocked by how lite they were. Not a durable quality wood, but something cheaper. Multiple parts are being held together with staples, the wood supports are not even long enough to go from side to side. (See pic with staples) there are multiple cracks in the cheap wood that have made this completely unusable, I guess off to the fire pit it goes.
