Very impressed with this purchase. Everything was well packaged and protected with no marks or scratches from shipping which is very common with metal items i have ordered lately. Assembly instructions were easy enough to follow and the online video filled in any gaps. All in took me about 7-8 hours alone with help from my 12 year old son for just the part of standing the frame up. The open and closing mechanism is very smooth. Very happy with this purchase, was a perfect addition to our backyard.
