Only have it up a couple days. We hired 2 experienced handymen to put it up. Took 7 hours - pricey, but well worth it. It looks strong, and sturdy and very nice looking. The only thing is the screens seem to be in the way, as we keep a dining table and chairs inside. Our old sunjoy gazebo had more inside space. The legs are recessed in and make the space smaller. We will work around it. We are very pleased.
