My husband and I are 70 and 72.  We decided to challenge ourselves and build the gazebo.  This kit is absolutely beautiful!  The wood is smooth and holes are pre drilled!  All the hardware is included, packages are marked and of great quality.  Love the black iron accents!  The video is easy to follow and so much easier than reading the instructions.  We constructed the entire gazebo but had to get help lifting the roof on.  We are very proud of ourselves and it was possible with this excellent kit!?
