Boxes arrived in good condition. No missing pieces, all most pieces were ready to use, with the exception of few clips that needed to open with a knife. It really takes 3 people to assemble, 2 as minimum. 3 of us took almost a day to assemble.
Assembly instructions really need more details, you need to go back and forth on pages to understand how to assemble; it's really easy to make mistakes and have to unscrew and assemble pieces; also, not every piece is labeled, so you need to careful to mix up.
Once assembly was completed, gazebo looked solid and beautiful.
