My rating of 5-Stars has everything to do with the quality of the Yardistry product and nothing to do with the assembly (more on that later).  I ordered this product one year ago this month.  During its first summer, an F-1 tornado passed within 4 blocks of our home.  The gazebo was left completely unscathed.  Fast forward to winter.  In February, parts of Chicago received 3-feet of snow in a 2-week period.  All of that snow sat atop the gazebo, and it held strong.  While I cannot speak to long-term durability, I am currently a fan of the Yardistry product, its sturdiness, and strength.  Now, as others have mentioned, DO NOT purchase the  "Expert Assembly".  Handy, the company Wayfair contracts with, is an infuriating nightmare to deal with.
