This took my husband 15 hours to assemble. Tough going on the roof but, it looks great.  I helped an hour or so.  Two people it would have taken only 6-8 hours max.  If this holds up to the New England winters I would give it a 6 star.  Instructions were fine and we had no issue with the stock.  A few screws leftover.  In the booklet there were a few things that you should catch.  Amount of braces and the stock list was wrong on one of the braces.  READ before putting together.  I caught the mistake so you should too.  Now I need to decorate!!!!!!
