We love the look of this gazebo. It took about 10 hours to assemble. Two of us spent probably 8 hours, the third person was with us for about 3 hours. It is solid. The hardware was labeled beautifully. No guess work. I would have given it 5 stars but one of the posts was split a bit towards the top of one side. It didn’t compromise the structure, but it is visible which is a bummer. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase.
