The gazebo is actually beautiful and we love it! Material seems durable but it has only been 2 days since installation and the weather has been perfect. The instructions are not the best, they are just pictures which can be confusing, but they are not impossible to figure out. We had to use our own screws to make some of the parts align. We also had to make our own holes to make things fit according to the instructions. There were some scratches on some of the wooden parts but they are hardly noticeable when the gazebo is up. The reason for the 3 stars is for the frustration we experienced because some of the steel parts that are used for the roof were actually bent, which added extra difficulty (and time) to the setup. Overall, we love the gazebo! we might just have gotten a defective one but still made it work.
