We've had several gazebos in the past. This one is the best that we've purchased. It was very easy to put together. My husband didn't need any help. He did it in about an hour. The canopy is made so that the water does not settle on top which was an issue with our past gazebos, and it fits snug. The only one negative is that the net ties are at the bottom instead of the usual center. My husband was able to slide the ties through the pole holes when it's closed since we didn't bolt them down. This keeps the nets from sliding up when it's breezy. The zippers zip all the way down which is nice’no gaps at the bottom. Wonderful for the price!
