My VERY capable husband had an insanely difficult time to put the pieces together. 5 hours to get it together and installed. The instructions were HORRIBLE!  
The color is not coffee colored as we expected... more like coffee with milk. But we do like the color now its installed. 
It is not as sturdy as our previous awning but the roll out mechanism is better than our last one.  Slant adjustment works well... shade provided is priceless. Hope it lasts more than 2-3 years.
