Anybody that says the gazebo is hard or a pain etc to put together is not mechanically inclined. Do your self a favor get a 4mm Allen socket with a rachet or light impact. It will save you lots of time than using the supplied 4mm alen wrench. I love the gazebo it was made well.. yes it had some bent metal pieces but nothing you couldn't bend back. No need to complain about little things like that. Overall I Rate it 5 out of 5..
