I am always cautions with the installation of large items. This was definitely a large item to assemble. So many times you have problems. BUT NOT HERE. This Gazebo is great. Quality parts, solid oiled cedar wood, powder coated steel roof, all protected from shipping mishaps. Directions were excellent, easy to understand. They include a bag of spare parts just in case, we didn't need many. I love it.
Very sturdy. My old Gazebo would get blown around, had to weigh it down. I don't think this one is going anywhere. 500 lbs and vented roof to let wind escape.
Installation: Other reviews report taking days to assemble. There were 3 of us, 3 ladders and good tools. You need a power screwdriver/nutdriver! We began unpacking and sorting parts at 7am. Sitting in chairs enjoying the shade under the Gazebo at 3pm!
Have already recommended this highly to others. I am very impressed with this Sunjoy product.
