The gazebo is certainly beautiful, and now that it is finally together, we are thoroughly enjoying it. HOWEVER, if your relationship can survive putting this thing together, youre solid. We both work, so it took us several afternoons, chipping away at it in the evening, to finish it- mind you we both have a good head on our shoulders when it comes to assembling things. The roof was a nightmare, not because of the design of it necessarily, but because some things just simply wouldnt line up without tons of maneuvering. The roof assembly aside, it really is a lovely gazebo for the price. The design is great, its sturdy, and the curtains are of good quality. Just be prepared to invest some time, sweat, and maybe even a few tears getting that roof on!
