Assembled via 90 percent cam locks (100 percent cam locks on the base!) meaning that it will never be perfectly sturdy and will loosen with time. Makes assembly harder as well. Most of the cam screws aren’t long enough, so don’t expect a full 180 degrees of rotation to lock. All cheap laminated wood. Arch is made of a thin laminate, basically card board. Looks cheap, feels cheap. Multiple points of damage out of the box, some of which show in the final product (see front of arch). Took a couple hours to build. Not out of the ordinary here (minus extra time with the cams)
