Customers report that assembly is easy and straightforward, with some noting it can be done by one person. The product is described as sturdy and having a nice appearance. However, opinions are mixed regarding the material, with some finding it strong and thick, while others describe it as thin and prone to tearing. Durability is a significant concern, as many reviews indicate the product does not withstand wind or snow, with components like tie-downs and grommets breaking easily.
