Gazebo came in 4 boxes. The overall quality seems to be pretty good especially for the price. Time to build took me around 8 hours, with only having help to mount the frame together and the roof to the main structural frame. The instructions were pretty easy to follow as well. Ive only had complete for a few days, so far the only concern I have is how well the roof will hold up over time. When completed I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it came out. 72 hours in Im very happy with it!!!
