Assembly wasn’t difficult, pieces are cut to fit & lock together nicely. A quality product; looks nice when assembled. I ordered my nativity scene a bit late to drive the anchor stakes into the frozen ground so decided to mount it on a 2ft x 4ft piece of 3/4” plywood using ty-raps & screws to fasten to the plywood. I placed heavy flat rocks on the plywood behind the nativity to keep it from lifting in the wind. Nativity looks great and lights up well at night with a flood light shinning on it. I am however a bit concerned with how the wind whips the top of stable roof when our winter wind blows here in Dakota, would help if there were stiffener braces to mount on backside to better withstand heavy wind gusts that could snap off the poly foam side posts. I plan to go purchase and add a flat metal brace to each side of the stable posts securing them under the wing nuts & screwing onto the plywood on backside of my nativity for improved stability in the wind (anchor stakes could be driven into ground to secure the braces when not mounted on plywood). Braces will be designed not to be visible from front view, I feel support braces should be included for the price paid.
