My daughter and I put this together this weekend and upon carefully opening the box, found one of the pieces broken. Not unrepairable, so some wood glue, a clamp, and time out to have lunch watch an episode Breaking Bad. Back to assembly. The wood is fairly thin so we were treating it gently. In spite of that, a piece broke off. More wood glue and a clamp, went off to plant mums and watch another episode of Breaking Bad. We finally finished (six hours after starting because of all the repairs that needed time to set).
Its absolutely not difficult to put together (you do need two people). Im not convinced that its waterproof so I got two cans of spray-on waterproofing, which perfectly covered both inside and out. Im hoping that will help.
Its exactly the style I have been looking for and I love it in my yard. It looks beautiful. Will fill it up with my gardening paraphernalia next weekend. Cant wait to have everything on-hand next Spring.
Have Wood Glue and Clamps on hand
