First off, perfect size. The frame itself is sturdy enough to withstand marginal wind (20-30mph), but took the canopy down for safety, so I can't attest to its strength. Only reason it doesn't get a 5 star rating is because the canopy holds rain water. We needed to use a long handled object to push the water off, and of course, then the water came straight down. Overall adds a nice appearance to the deck and keeps you shaded.
