Great gazebo! We just finally got it assembled and my husband was able to do it almost completely on his own. The description says you need 5 people, but that wasn't necessary. It just took a few days, so you can do it alone if you are patient and have a ladder. It seems quite sturdy and I love that it came with both a curtain and a mosquito net. We are hoping it holds up well over the winter, and the only thing I wish it came with was a cover for the winter, but I didn't see any gazebo with that option as I was shopping around. So far we are very happy with it!
