This is a beautiful gazebo. Took my husband and I 4.5 hours to set up. You may need 3-4 people to help hold up bars as you put things together. Instructions were somewhat easy to follow, at least for my husband but he is a "handy man." It's been up for a week now and we noticed a color change in the panels from the elements (full sun exposure.) Metal bars are a bit thin. Hopefully this will hold up throughout the year.
