It was very easy to put together!!! My husband and I put it together in a little over an hour. We had bend some of the metal because it was damaged upon arriving. It wasn't a big deal at all it took all of 5 minutes to bend the pieces back to where it should be. Looks fantastic!! The canopy was very easy to put on as well. I had Mother's Day breakfast under and it was perfect!! So in love can't wait to see how it holds up in south Florida summer season
