Yep, I got several of these last season for my parents' yard. I wanted to try them out before I decided whether to carry them. Sue also has one now... so she could give some feedback as well.

The arbors and trellises were very easy to assemble and I really like the mocha color. I must say, some of the styles are sturdier than others due to the design. I prefer the ones that have the vertical pieces feed directly through the horizontal pieces rather than those that weave through, especially since plants are trailed on all of the trellises and arbors in my yard and also my parents' yard. The constructed structures are much sturdier when the pieces feed rather than weave. As a result of this discovery, I'm only carrying the feed-through designs on my site. There are a LOT of DuraTrel designs available online through various retailers... many more than just the ones that I currently offer. So, if you are looking around for them, carefully check the pictures to verify which ones have the feed-through versus the weave construction.

I read a lot of wholesaler feedback about the company's customer service and product performance before placing my first order as well. They appear to be a really well-respected manufacturer that has stood the test of time (20+ years).
