It is gorgeous.  My friend put it together in just over 2 hours and it was fairly easy except for a couple of missing correct size bolts.  Easy fix with a trip to Lowes.  I am using it everyday.  Usually after dinner when I go out in the evening with a book.  My husband and I are going to enjoy this.  Love the fact it includes the netting since we have flying bugs here in SWFL.  Would highly recommend.  And by the way, unlike some other comments, our boxes arrived in pretty good shape.
