Purchased this gazebo for our pool deck. It is just as pictured. I read in another review that it took a couple 2 7 hour days to assemble and that is accurate. My husband and I assembled in a little under that amount of time but it would have been faster had we added a third person. We are very happy with this purchase based on appearance and quality. Hoping it holds up to PA winter weather. The only issue we had was due to some pieces being bent or dented during shipping. However those pieces were easily repaired or the dent isn’t noticeable once assembled.
