The Gazebo came in four cartons which made it easy for me to handle. Overall I thought the construction of the unit was well laid out and assembly was straight forward. I was able to get the frame and upper roof panels up by myself in about eight hours. I worked with my son in law to install the larger lower roof panels. These pieces are large and ungainly so two people are a must here. We used duct tape on theses panels to hold them in place until we could get the panel retaining brackets secured. We also duct taped the R1/R2 panel to the Q1/Q2 panels and installed them in one piece. I did not run into any defective or missing parts. The finished unit is very sturdy and attractive.
Very pleased with the end results
