Very large and well thought out. Only one mistake but it's a big one.
This thing is big! I mean really nice for the price.
The local Garden store chain has a similar one for nearly twice the cost. When it arrived I had to lug it through mud about 200 foot and it was not easy.
I laid everything out and took inventory. There was a few extra of every one of the fasteners except the nuts and one course that was the only one the had one with no threads. Oh well, I have plenty of them so I didn't care.
What I did care about was trying to assemble it with no help was crazy. You literally need to hold 3 parts while driving the bolts. Please take my advise and wait until you have someone to at least steady some pieces while you attach the fasteners.
Now the big issue!!!!
I was about 1/4 of the way done and even had enough built that it stood on it's own when I let go.
Then, the arcs came to an impossible situation. There was two females aimed at each other. I read the instructions a dozen times but I had it correct (at least to the instructions). then I realized there was a typo in the instructions on page 2. It clearly calls out two 2s.
Honestly it doesn't matter which side you change but one of them must be a '3'. then the triple arc will flow correctly.
After that it went well. Took about an hour for the whole build.
One thing these companies do that drives me nuts is that they photo-shop 'stuff' in the so-called finished product. In this case they made this unit look tiny. It is not. It is very roomy. I know I will be able to put two full size planting tables in there.
Last, they give plastic plugs and caps. These really help when you are pulling the cover over to keep it from snagging. Being 7 foot, I wasn't sure how the cove would install but it went over very well and still fit snug. We are just getting into the windy season here in Michigan so I took the cover back off for about another month but it was a breeze to do.
So make that one adjustment in step 2 and have two people and you should have not issues
I hope you found this review helpful.
