It was cheap but you can definitely make it work. I used this for my wedding on the beach. All though I couldn't use it on the beach we Clamped it clamped it to the back porch of the beach house we had. Over all for the price I paid for it. I would give it a high rating.
If you are looking for a one time use for a party or wedding I definitely recommend this!

Product came delivered and packaged with care. Is what one should expect for a $25 archway. It is a great base to customize for the money!

I knew when buying this the other reviews said it was very flimsy. But I also knew I would be putting it under my deck so it would have support! It's pretty easy to put together, the instructions aren't great but if you've put together IKEA furniture, you can figure it out LOL. Although I'm not sure how you make the shorter, wider version as I do not think it came with enough pieces. Definitely served it's purpose for decoration at my engagement party!

Bought this for my daughter's wedding. Easy to put together and now I can use it for many other things. Comes in a very small box so if you want to take it apart and put it back you can sort easily. I'm using it for Thanksgiving and Christmas as a decoration in my front yard. Yes you have to buy the accessories from a dollar store or something like that but man it is just so cute. So many compliments. Well were some money.

Bought these with the intent of using them as support for my vegetables and vining plants. Since nothing has fully grown up yet, I can't tell if this will work but I certainly love the look. It's exactly how I envisioned it.

Directions: Directions are ok but not the clearest. My advice is start at one end and continue all the way to the other side, left to right or right to left. I tried to work faster by putting together both straight ends first then adding the curve and that was a mistake. The poles in the drawing look the same so I thought what is the harm. if you do both sides and try to connect, the bars won't go inside each other. I had to undo everything and start over.

Quality control: It didn't help that they sent one set missing a bar at the top. Since they sent me a new one, and I didn't check prior to starting myself, I didn't deduct anything from it but quality control needs to be better. Nothing worse than putting together everything to find your last piece is missing.

Time: took me about 1-1.5hrs to put together 2 of these by myself.

Quality: these are a little flimsy and move all over when you are putting it together but we taped two arches together which made it sturdier. Since these were for raised beds, the soil is keeping them in place in the ground. I do not know yet if it can withstand any actual hanging veggies or not since I just started my fall garden. We shall see.

Bottom line: worth a try!
