My husband put this together himself. I only helped occasionally to pass him a screw or hold up a bar or 2. Took him 3 hours. Takes time to figure out the roof panels and that some of the bars were pressed together for packaging purposes. Takes a touch of muscle to seperate them. Take your time with following the directions because if you mess up you may have to go back a step or 2. Seems very sturdy, the curtains and mosquito net seem durable and made of decent quality. Pretty good value for the price. I think i can get a few years out of this. Time will tell.
