First let me start with the delivery.  I was notified of the day and then got a call right before the truck pulled up.  The two delivery men were awfully polite and I was shocked to find out that my gazebo was all in one package weighing about 500 lbs.  The delivery men didn't flinch over the weight and put the package all the way up my long driveway just where I asked them too.  Second, the gazebo was packed perfectly and the parts were individually wrapped.  There are SOOOO many parts, but all are labeled correctly and correspond exactly as the instructions say.  It has taken us two senior citizens many hours of labor to construct this thing and we are ready to put the top on but need help from some tall sons and neighbors.  We only worked in one to two hour increments so as not to overdue it.  So far, it seems very well built and I am anxious to have it done so we can sit under it in the shade all summer long.
