All packages came at the same time. Everything was neatly wrapped and in good condition. This was heavy and sturdy. Steps were relatively easy to follow. Some steps can be done by one person but some require two (roof framing). Few issues noted: one of the posts was missing a hole. Easy fix by drilling a hole. Some roof panels (about 4-6 pcs) had some slight bended surfaces from shipping. Nothing too bad. Instructions on the roof installation can be better. They need to be secured loosely with screws as you go, otherwise everything will slide down. Wish there is a manual that lists which box each part is. This took the longest time because the parts are in random boxes. There was no order. Took me and my husband 5 days spending 2-3 hrs each day. We love the end product. We have had rain and strong winds, but this survived them. No rain leaks - everything underneath stayed dry. Roof however can get really hot on a summer day and cause an oven like feeling underneath.
