Acadia 7-ft. Cypress Arched Arbor

good price[...]

The color is great, the design is lovely, but honestly this is just very poorly made. The wood is very cheap, the wood was split and cracked right out of the box, [...] the workmanship was poor, the materials crack more during assembly[...]. We glued it, found other screws, and otherwise made it work as it just wasn't even worth the time to try to send it back and fool with replacing it. Granted it is outside, but just not worth the money and the quality was just low. Sorry, because the actual look of it would have been nice and from from far away you can't tell it is so poorly made.

Wow! The arbor is just what I was looking for to accent the garden and support/control a few vines. I bought two of them and placed them to welcome and designate the entry way to the garden. They were easy to assemble using a simple electric philips screwdriver and each arbor took about 1/2hr to complete. Great look at a reasonable price. They have been up two weeks and I will see how they weather the sometimes harsh winters here in Illinois. A few neighbors commented how great they looked.

Most Arches sell for around $150 to 300. This one is a bargain, without sacrificing quality.

I will be using this to fit into the center of a flower bed, and plant some hummingbird vines to grow on it. It should last years and provide a good place for hummers to gather near the patio. It was easy to put together, however the wood split on all four areas where the sides attached to the curved upper portion. Perhaps I overtightened the bolts. I had to glue them where they cracked and shoot some staples in them to reinforce it. Also the finish was a bit light in my opinion, so I sprayed some additional polyurethane on it so it had extra protection. All in all, a good product for the money. For less than $100.00 I'd buy it again.
