The wood frame is sturdy, the roof could use a few more supports. We added extra self- tapper screws in the roof panels to keep them from blowing up in higher winds. Overall nice gazebo
Although not recommended, I assembled the entire kit by myself on my patio. Ther were no missing, bent or broken pieces. The instructions were very clear and accurate. Everything fit together where it should. The final pieces were very tight and required a little wiggling and adjustment to get the last bolts in. We are very pleased with the design, material and engineering of this attractive and sturdy gazebo.
This gazebo looks as good as the picture on line. My husband pretty much singlehandedly put it together in five and a half hours. He did need to make some adjustments but he got it together. He was challenged by the reviews I read him online and was determined to try to beat other people's time. It looks great and I do recommend this purchase.
Expertly packaged and the visual installation instructions were very well done. Do not have the part numbers handy but only one item that I would have liked to have them made 1/16th or 1/8" shorter to allow for easier installation. It was the lower roof panels bottom support/gutter that goes around the entire perimeter. Hooks into the hip roof supports and screws into the mid roof support on all four sides. All the pieces could have been slightly shorter as we had to flex all of them to force them into place - was not just us being out of alignment as they were ALL too long - if it was us some of them would have correspondingly have been too short. This is a longwinded explanation and not intended to be a big criticism - just something that we had to deal with. Our daughter loves it (installed at her house).
This was a monster to put together but is wonderfully sturdy and a great addition for our new landscaped back patio. In rain or shine it is a lovely place to hang out but splurge for the service to put it together. it took us 4 days!
