Shipping was great. Came in 4 different boxes and all boxes were delivered without issue. First, let me say, there are a lot of pieces. Bring your patience. I (50 y.o. Female) and my dad (70) put this together in 2.5 days (so 20ish hours).  A hex drill bit is vital. The roof pieces are a challenge. Make sure that you follow the instructions (and sometimes they are not clear). Separate out all of your hardware. It will help to keep you sane. Overall, we love it. We are making an outdoor covered kitchen and it is the perfect size!
