Bought this to replace my previous 10x12 gazebo (soft top). Although it says you need 3 people to put it together, hubby did it by himself, but he is super talented and handy, so definitely get help to set it up. The reason I didnt give it a 5* is because it is not, in fact, 10 x 12 as the description says. Since we replaced our previous one, we still had the holes from the previous Gazebo to tell the difference. Attached are pictures to see that theres quite a bit of a difference. I would say its a foot shorter on all 4 sides. Overall, it still looks great in our backyard.
