Very nice gazebo.. took about 2 hours to put together. Can Be put together with one person but two other people will be needed to assemble the sides but they are only needed for 5 minutes.(if you are working with lazy teenagers as myself)very sturdy and stable.. only reason why I am giving it 4 stars instead of five is only due to the fact that the canopy comes with holes in it to allow water to drain as not to rip The canopy.. but The canopy is at a slant so wouldn’t of been a problem at all.. so you will have to move any patio equipment or cushions out in the winter or rainy months.. other than that we love it!
