Definitely needs 2 person, seems sturdy. Did get some banged up pieces but hard to tell. I can't figure out how to stop rain from coming in on top. Also one side holds water and bows

It requires 2 people to assemble and if you follow the directions it is a bit difficult once tou place the roof part, because it is so high We had a few parts bent I guess during the shipment but that's fine I have them fixed. Durability wise it is okay, a good shade for arizona summer but I assume we will replace the top tent next year or so. Skeleton of the gazebo is above average on durability You will have to get some sand bags to tight it down because stakes that they sent are very tiny and short to hold it It's very roomy so we fit 6 people dining table in it Cost & benefit wise I would recommend I think the shelf life would be 2-3 years for this one so do not expect so much out of it
