It is a beautiful gazebo and was exactly what we needed for our back deck however it took 3 adults to put up and around 6 hours. Not all the pieces line up just right so my husband had to do a lot of heavy pulling to get it right. It's a great addition and would defiantly buy again but just as fair warning, expect to spend the day building and ask at least two male friends to help out. You wont be disappointed once it done!!
