Product arrived damaged in shipping, box had obviously been dropped, large tears in box, causing the main support pipe to be dented in at the top edge. Unable to slide two pieces together. Not wanting to ship it back and wait another month for a handle to arrive my son was able to bend out the dent. All that said, product is great. Very sturdy. Stronger than I expected. Swivel feature is great. We chose not to install under hot tub. We have it secured next to hot tub with cinder blocks which we covered with potted plants. Enabling it to be stored in garage during frigid months.
