Fairly easy to install. Takes 2 people. Supplied anchors etc. are junk tho. My son purchased much better ones after the supplied ones broke apart when trying to insert in the drilled holes. Looks beautiful now but imagine it will need a lot of touch up around the bazillion bolts after a harsh Maryland winter. Supposing it will show rust spots so I plan to keep black rustolium on hand. It' super sturdy and does what we needed it to for my Mother who has moved in for a bit.
