If only the holes on the two pieces that need to be assembled aligned properly, I'd have been quite happy. Unfortunately the spacing on one piece was roughly 3/4" off from the spacing on the other piece. A couple of clamps, an electric drill and a 1/4" bit made it all work out for less aggro than returning the thing. But didn't leave me particularly well inclined toward this particular antenna.The antenna also has an all-weather rubber cover to protect the coax connection to the balun. Ours isn't installed outdoors, but if it had been I would have complained that the cover doesn't appear flexible enough to slip over the coax connector. So you would need to slip the cover over an unterminated coax cable and then install the coax connector before connecting the coax to the balun.Other than that, the antenna seems to be quite sturdy and works well enough.
