I did research and read reviews on a variety of Gazebos. I was primarily looking for a grey toned one. This one fit the bill. It had good reviews and the pictures looked good. I decided to tackle this myself so it took some time. The parts are labe according to the instructions with alphabetic characters so this did help. I did get stumped on the brackets for the legs and the canopy for a little while. The instructions were not real specific. I finally got over that hurdle. Once you put the frame up then you build the canopy. What can really knock time off of this is to have someone else build the canopy while you build the frame. It also helps if you have 2 people do the frames in between the legs. Someone holding this will help. I would also suggest being careful with the top fabric as it can tear between the seems if pul to hard. Overall the completion looks good. I did attach patio slabs to the feet so that I have no problems with the wind. So far so good as it has stormed a few times over the last week or so. I also have not seen any water come through the roof which is also a good thing. My house sits off a walking path so I have had people tell me as they pass that they love the Gazebo. Overall, it looks good and is sturdy.
Good Sturdy Gazebo
