This frame is difficult to assemble. It is beautiful and sturdy once assembled.
I liked the deep copper color and the solid full length frame pieces. Others I have assembled had joints half way across the outer frame bars. There is a solid full length support bar with three legs between the front and back outer frame bars. Youll need two adults to assemble this and a wooden pry bar to straighten posts that slide together. The post openings must be the exact same circular size in order to slide together, its a tight fit. Use your own tools, an Allen Wrench and a nut driver. the supplied tools are too small and very frustrating. Dont tighten the first cross support bar located at each end, keep them very loose until you have all the cross supports in place. Then tighten the first two supports very tight from both sides, to keep all the cross support bars in place. Its tough.
