First, please print the instructions from this web site, as none come with the canopy. It went together in about 2 hours. There were a few sections with some dents, but the finish was not cracked so we just went with it. Now that's its put together you can't tell where they are, although it could have happened during shipping as there were a few places where the box was torn, but the company could have had better protection inside the box, that is why I'm only going with a 4. We got the light green as my first choice was sold out and it does look exactly like the color on the website, with my computer anyway. I'm very pleased with how it looks. I hope that it holds up as well as others said it did for them. I do plan on taking it down during the winter so it will last longer.
