Good packaging with reinforcements to keep the parts from damage during shipment. Sturdy box. All the parts matched and the directions were clear. They included enough extra parts in case you lose some during the build. I would definitely recommend. Build took all day but is worth it. It’s very sturdy and won’t tear up in the wind like the canvas tops. Note that the measurements are for the outer edge of the device and not the posts, so if you are replacing a similar one you should take that into consideration. You’ll need help on the first few sections, but can manage on your own after that. Overall it’s totally worth the money.
