I’m going to give this 5 stars to start but with the caveat that we’ve only had it a week. It’s as described and looks great. A tad light in materials but we have read all the reviews so we are cautious and have bought weighted bags to hold the legs down (don’t want to screw into our concrete just yet) and we put the side panels down in the rain. The amount of coverage is awesome for the price. However I don’t like having the two panels down as it feels too enclosedsmall but then again they are only down when we aren’t using it so I can get over it. Part of me would just prefer two side by side gazebos but for less than 300 that’s not happening. Husband put it together so not much to say except that he did it by himself in 2.5 hours. Said it would be much easier with two people but he didn’t wait for me to get home.
