This is a great gazebo. Everything arrived in 2 boxes, which has taken a bit of a bashing during the shipping phase, but thankfully, everything was in tact. It’s certainly not a quick build, but if your methodical and follow the instructions, it is pretty straight forward. It took 2 of us 6 hours, with a little help from others during some of the steps. It will be interesting to see how it hold up to the Virginia weather, but I’m hopefully it will last a couple of years now that it’s up.
