I was looking for a gazebo that was big enough for a BBQ Island and would fit on my patio. I ordered the 8'x8' (I really wanted the 10 x 12 but it would have taken up too much space). It arrived in a reasonable amount of time, was expertly delivered and very well packed. We laid out all the parts and it took my friend and I about 4 full hours to assemble. The instructions were pretty clear and we are both very handy. There were only a few parts on the roofing system that took some effort to align well enough to fit. I then stained all the wood parts inside and out which took me another good 4 hours by myself. I considered staining the wood parts before assembly which would have been easier but opted out only because of my friends availability to help. It looks great and very sturdy. I plan to build an out door kitchen within it and will post those pics then. All in all I love it and highly recommend it.
