Shipping was fast. Assembly was easy and fairly quick, the only part I had my husband help me with was when I was attaching the second set of legs and had to stand it up. I love that there is the privacy screen as well as the netting and the netting along the top at the roof is a nice added feature they did to really ensure the bugs stay out. It rained yesterday pretty good for several hours and stayed dry inside. I absolutely love this gazebo. Worth every penny!!
