This gazebo was constructed less than a week ago, so long term reliability is still a question. The fact that it is 99.9% aluminum means it will not rust out in 2 years like my prior metal gazebo. The only non-aluminum parts are 4 metal brackets at the base of the 4 uprights, all screws and bolts, and the nutplates that mate with the screws and bolts.

Assembly took 2 men and an occasional help from my wife to hold things in place. I did some subassembly of parts a day before my helper arrived. On the day of assembly, we were done in 2 hours. Be aware that you will need a ladder of 8.5 feet in order to complete the top of the gazebo.

It is a beautiful addition to our deck.

Pros: all aluminum, easy assembly, very attractive looking, lowest price I could find for this model on the Internet
Cons: No color options. We would have preferred a lighter cover.
