We love our gazebo. My husband and I put it together with a little help from my sister in law. I would recommend having at least four people. It took a full week. About 72 man hours. Directions were not easy to follow. Our favorite was “Turn clockwisely”. Also, the plastic clips kept falling off at the worst times. The curtains are really good quality. It looks fabulous. We are looking forward to be able to have winter BBQs in rainy Washington!
