Love this gazebo! From reading previous reviews we decided to hire a handyman to put it together, very happy that we did. It took three of us to put in the roof panels, which are a bit tricky. It took about 5 hours total to put together. Note the aluminum gets very hot in the sun so if you can set materials under a a shade tree or pop up canopy you will keep from burning yourself. Overall we loved the ease of the installation directions, the quality, look, and price of this piece.
