Two boxes arrived; no damage. The instructions were very but clear but need to use your own tools as tools provided were not adequate. During the assembly process, all components aligned properly allowing easy of assembly. Instructions with illustrations were easy to follow. It took me about 12 hours to assemble by myself, but needed neighbor to place the roof frame on top of base frame. However, I’m very mechanically inclined and 6 “5”  as it helps to be tall to assemble gazebo. I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
