We assembled this over the weekend and after a good mix of, rainy, windy, and sunny days, I can say with confidence that this is a great quality product that should last a long time if cared for.

Assembly was tedious (took us about 8.5hrs) but thats really more because we were careful and slow following the instructions. We also stopped to eat in between .

Assemble with 2 ladders and at least 2 people as the instructions say (though a 3rd part-time assistant speeds up the very simple but tedious assembly of 38 louver fins). We also highly recommend starting early so you can work in the daylight.
