I love the Gazebo reason why we got it but I do have to agree with the difficult assembly. 
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and email Purple Leaf support ASAP and ask for the UPDATED assembly instructions.   They are fast to respond.   
The manual that comes with the gazebo is poorly written which are it 10 times more difficult to assembly an already frustrating and challenging build.
You need a helper with a great attitude lol.  It took as 3 full days.  If it wasnt for how difficult the build was, Id give 5 stars but 3 is good for me.
