Easy to set up my husband and his friend did it within an hour. It has only been a few weeks, but the quality appears sturdy and looks good in our backyard. I wasn’t excited about the color for fear of it getting dirty, but all others had been sold out. Color was an issue, because I did not know until after it was set up that the top of the canopy was a bit dirtybrownish stain in 4 long rectangular spots. Obviously packaged  sold with those markings hence 4 stars. I would have returned it for a replacement if my husband had shown me in advance. Other than that, we are happy with it as it has shielded us from our very sunny backyard.
