Like I said in my headline I'm off to a bad start with this package.  I am hoping that from other reviewers that it is no big deal getting rid of the dents. There are a LOT of pieces and I am hoping it is sturdy when assembled and can withstand Northeastern  Winter winds. Also there a LOT of screws. And all of the various sized screws, bolts, washers and nuts were thrown  into one plastic bag , not assorted in any way, whatsoever. I hope the instructions are clear, because this looks like it is going to be a pain in the butt to assemble. And I have no doubt a lot of hours will be needed.
