I wanted to like this gazebo, I really did. When the item arrived one of the metal sides was bent. We chose not to return it’s very large and we’d have to rent a truck to take it back to Fedex. I read that the gazebo won’t rust but it started rusting after the rain fell one time in the summer. This gazebo also did not hold up well during the winter and now it’s no longer usable. Spent so much money just to have to throw it away after one summer. I would not recommend this item if you live in a state that have very cold winters.
