Absolutely no surprises with this purchase.  Delivery was smooth and quick. Assembly directions were very clear  I used both (instruction book included in shipment and 3D version from the app).  All of the components (there are a lot) were clearly marked and none were missing.  No cutting, drilling, modifying of any kind. I did treat all wood components with a tinted sealer before assembly, to help with moisture protection and give it a deeper color.  Most of the assembly I did by myself but about 20% you will defiantly need a couple buddies, especially the roof, but it’s all very doable. I included electrical so I could add two ceiling fans and some party lights. I couldn’t be happier at how it improved my outdoor space
