Only purchase this item is you have ALOT of patience...This gazebo is beautiful, but only if you can complete it. We are now going on week two of attempting to assemble this beast. The pieces do not align, the screw holes do not line up. The screws they provide are too short, and keep in mind, you cannot purchase black screws at the hardware store to match because these are specialty, so we now have to use the silver ones. There were 6 of us working on this gazebo and still its taken us two weeks so far...We still are not done.  We now have two pieces left and then came to realize one of them is 1 inch off and we need to cut it...CUT IT. Think twice before buying this....
