Very happy with this gazebo! We received it in winter and finally put it up in time for Father’s Day. It took two of us about 10 hours to complete it. The instructions were quite clear. They included some extra hardware, always nice. Very clever, clean design. No heavy lifting. You just need to be patient. Although you could use their wrench and Allen key to asssmble the gazebo, I expect that would take much longer than it did. I recommend 2 sockets sets and a power drill with hex and Allen bits.
There are a few mistakes or issues with the instructions and the plastic on the sheet metal roof pieces is takes hours to get off even with help. Once it is built it seems like good quality.
The instructions were very intuitive, the images had little text but were very self-explanatory. Everything went together very smoothly! The product quality was better than anticipated, well-crafted and well-packaged. My wife and I are VERY HAPPY with the end results! :)
Arrived via FEDEX undamaged and driver took pallet with him. Wood and metal parts are of high quality with a very smooth finish. Assembly was easy and everything fit exactly as described. I assembled all of the wood parts and this plus the orderly lay-out of parts took me about 6 hours. My nephew and son helped me erect the wooden frame and building the roof for about 4 hours. looks beautiful and is everything as advertised. A couple of suggestions to make and excellent product even better: 1. Label the wooden parts like the metal ones 2. Screws EE are too small to fasten connectors H-2 to the posts. A couple pulled out during placement of the roof structure. Replaced with larger screws and all is fine. Now if could just find a mosquito netting that fits this thing (the pipes to hang it came with the kit) I would be very happy
