After looking at this gazebo for a long time, we finally made the purchase and love it!  It did take us longer than 2 days, but we were not in a hurry, took our time and made sure we had all pieces put together correctly.  We highly recommend to read the printed directions and to watch the videos. Use the specifically coded boards and hardware that are listed in the directions and everything should work and come together.  To install roof panels, definitely need a minimum of 3 strong men. We did have a couple of pieces that were damaged in shipment and had to be replaced, with one being a main column. We called   customer service and they shipped both pieces in a very timely fashion (also we were within the 30 day warranty).  It is well worth the time and money we invested.  Now we’re ready to enjoy and share great times with friends and family.
