Thanks OP. Sounds like a good offer.
But I just checked the reviews from Lowest to Highest and there seem to be quite a few low ones saying that the quality is bad and the structure itself is flimsy, etc. Was thinking of getting it as the deal is quite good, but reconsidering it now. So just a warning to others to take a look at the reviews before deciding to buy.

I've also taken note of reviews. I had similar arches to these in a previous house/garden. They are not IMHO worth the RRP or original listed price, but at under a fiver each, are worth an investment if you don't intend using them as support for heavy,woody plants.
I have reserved 2 for collection at my local store.

Argos will always allow you to inspect any item at the collection desk before you commit to purchase-just ask at the till.
It's probably best not to make this request on a busy Saturday though...:eek:

Thanks to you and OP.:D

Not a bad deal on the face of it but if you only want one, Wilkinson do them for £4.99...

I recently purchased one of these, and reading the reviews on the Argos site it sounds like exactly the same arch.

Come to think of it - even if you buy two it's still 1p cheaper than Argos! :rotfl:

I've had 2 of these in the garden and both snapped in the winds last week. Not strong enough to support roses or the clematis I had on mine.

If anyone lives near Trago Mills, they have wooden ones for a fiver

I hate to say it but these are very flimsy construction and wont last very long a strong gust of wind may bend it and buckle it as my MIL got one last year and lucky for it to last a year, by all means waste money if you wish

One of the reviews mentions this

"Good for price buy one get one, easy to put together, bent when moved, flimsy but hopping it will be stronger with plants on them, look good where placed, job done. Would recomend if you do not wnat them for show and do not have young ones who may try and climb them as they would just brake!"
