Arriving on time, the box containing the gazebo was torn in one corner.  During assembly, it was noticed that the top of one of the posts was damaged as it was bent at the top.  Fortunately, it was possible to bend the post back into shape enough to complete the assembly of the gazebo.  It took about four hours for three people to assemble the gazebo, following directions which were generally not overwhelming.  The gazebo was erected on a wood deck, using lag bolts to attach the structure to the deck.  There were some confusion with guidance provided by Wayfair representatives regarding how to secure the gazebo to a wood deck which were able to be overcome.  Overall, the level of satisfaction with this purchase is high in spite of the previously noted damage and confusion about installation on the deck.
