It arrived carefully packaged and was left in my safe place. I split the plastic at the bottom and left it overnight in a bucket of water until I was ready to plant.
I built it alone (2.5m willow dome) which took several hours over a weekend but not impossible for a 5ft 5 person (though it was a bit of a stretch tying the whips above my head!). The instructions were comprehensive and we are delighted with the result. It's still fairly bare (after two weeks in the soil) but buds are beginning to form.
Would highly recommend.

i ordered the 2m dome, it arrived pretty quickly. I wasn't sure what to do with the twigs once they arrived, as I couldn't plant them for a few days. I stuck them in a bucket of water. The instructions provided with the kit were easy to understand and to follow. Of course the tricky bits came when we tried it ourselves. It took some time to make the holes in the ground to get the twigs in (pebblebed ground), and it was impossible in the initial stages to tie the twigs together without two pairs of hands. Overall, it took 3 sessions to make as we didn't have an entire day to make it. We are, however, very pleased with the end result and it started sprouting new leaves withing a few days. 2 m is fine for 2-3 kids, but if you intend to have more than that number using the dome, go for a bigger size.
