Although it was a beast to put together, it is a beauty!  It definitely requires 2 if not 3 people to help with the latter part of the assembly (base frame and roof assembly).  Directions are all pictures but if you take the time to study them then they are pretty easy to understand.  I wish there were more side profile views so that I could verify my thoughts on how some things went together.  All in all it's a great piece and I can not wait to use it over the winter!
