I've been thinking about a gazebo for a while so decided to take the plunge with this one as it seemed decent value for money. The package includes sides and fillable bags to add weight to the legs. Everything seems well made. The colour is a very light beige, rather than ivory. The sides are flimsier than the canopy but I knew this from the description on the website. They still offer good protection against the wind. I'm looking forward to entertaining friends and family in the coming months so I can show it off - it makes our garden look really posh!! :)
