My son and I put this beautiful gazebo up.  He did all the pre-work of putting parts and hardware together and assembling primary supports.  Then I assisted with holding the supports as he put it together ... could have used a third person as the instructions recommend ;-).  The most difficult step was the final topper cloth.  It is a difficult step because of the height.  We did buy bigger anchors because the ones provided were very short.   The curtains we easy to install.  Mine looks just like the picture.  It took about 3 hours to set up.  Gathering friends for a BBQ this weekend to show off my gazebo (Texas).
