Pros: lightweight, easy to assemble
Cons: rusts very easily
The Bottom Line: Perfect if you just want a few seasons use out of it as I do not believe it will last much longer.

| devila's Full Review: DC America Toscana Double Bench Arbor with pergola... |
I bought this Toscana bench arbor at my local garden store about a month ago. I needed something functional that looked great. I had been to many stores and found this to be perfect. The manufacturer is DC America. The measurements on it is, 122" L, 68" W, and 90" H.It was perfect to train my bougenvillia on and still be able to seat 2 people comfortably. It has holes on the bottom of each post so you can anchor it to the ground. I did not find this very neccesary though. I planted on one side red bougenvillia and on the other a whiteish color one. When it is done being trained it will look like a mixture of red and white and will go great with the brown color of the bench arbor. It cost me $499 plus the cost of the plants.
This item is made of iron so it will rust. I now know it will for sure rust because I have some seepage around where the bolts are. What I did was pull the bougenvillia away, lightly sand the rusting areas and spray rustoleum on and around the spots. Hopefully through out the periodic rain we seldom have this will at least last me 5 years.
