Well, we didn’t let it defeat us.  It did take about 4-5 hours to assemble with 2-3 people. The instructions are overwhelming to look at.  It’s not a quick study. Please wear gloves when you handle the metal parts.  Most are very sharp and the little pair of gloves packaged with the small screws, etc are the last things to be opened.  We all cut our hands. Hopefully it is durable as I wouldn’t want to do this again.  

Since it doesn’t have a floor, we made a platform of 12 inch square pavers set up in 6x4 paver rows. This works very well.
