We LOVED IT after finally putting it together! It does take two people to hoist and assemble. We have a raised 2nd floor deck so even harder to maneuver. The instructions are also not the best. MAKE SURE you dont fasten the awnings backwards or youll be doing A LOT of re-work! Lining up the pre-cut fabric holes to screw in the awning bolts is the worst part. We also bolted the gazebo to our deck using 2 12 in. galvanized steel screws and washers. The pre-drilled holes were part of the reason we chose this model. It was perfect and the gazebo is sturdy, attractive and wind resistant.  We are VERY pleased with our purchase!
