First of all, the finished gazebo is BEAUTIFUL and we are thoroughly enjoying it!  Purchase was easy, delivery was easy.  

My advice to you upon getting this gazebo.  DO NOT have any less than 3 or 4 people when you are trying to put together the roof. And if you're NOT super great at putting things together or don't have 8 arms growing from your torso, HIRE SOMEONE to put this together! It's seriously an exercise in insanity.   The directions are somewhat confusing.  For whoever wrote the review that putting together the roof was "tricky"..... that is the biggest understatement of the century.    The horrific assembly is the ONLY reason that I took away a star because, otherwise it's fantastic.
