I was so excited to set up my new gazebo that I couldn't wait to get started. I'll admit that I was a little overwhelmed when I unpacked it, but the instructions were extremely easy to follow and with the help of my teenage son, assembly was pretty straight-forward. The first thing I noticed was the quality and detail of each piece of the structure. The wood finish on metal is amazing. What really sold me is the wrap-around mosquito netting. I love how i can open and close it like a curtain. What a great idea!! Overall, it took us about 2 hours to put it together and totally worth it. I love it!!
