The item is large and cumbersome and difficult to erect - really requires two people. It generally feels cheap and nasty. Completely unsuitable for our situation. When erected it is not stable and wobbles. It needs fixing to the patio to be safe. We purchased in April but due to the very cold spring and the item being difficult to erect only just got round to erecting it. Wayfare completely refused to take it back although it is completely unused. Unfortunately all we can do now is take it to the recycling centre and write it off.
