Purchased this for our deck, which has no shade. The assembly was easy, and the gazebo worked well for a couple of weeks, until we had some wind/rain. We live in Michigan, so we don't generally get very heavy winds. This item has plastic leg bases, which I secured to the deck with 3in deck screws. When we got some wind, the plastic parts broke and the gazebo went flying across our deck. If the screw down base was metal, this would not have happened, as the screws are still in our deck, but the plastic pieces broke. With that, be careful with this item. See photos.
