I recommend this product as it has exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were looking for something to provide shade near our pool, and this is perfect. As we like to do projects, the two of us put it together: it took 8 hours to complete. The shipping was quick, the number of pieces/parts was overwhelming at first, but the instructions were amazing and each part was labeled wonderfully. We placed this gazebo on top of our deck, and it fit perfectly. We are extremely pleased.
