We ordered two of these this spring to place side by side on our deck. They have been great! It took two of us three hours to put up the first one and 2.5 hours to do the second one. We had the advantage of having actual tools to replace the "disposable" ones enclosed, so that speeded things up for us--would have worked, but been slower, with the ones they sent along. The directions were easy to follow and we are completely pleased! The shade they provided is nice for being outdoors and, more importantly makes that side of our house much cooler! The price was so reasonable and they arrived in the time allotted for their shipping.
