I am pleased with this gazebo! The frame is very strong, but must be anchored. It did take 3 people to erect, but went together easily. The fabric is nice but don't expect to get more than 1 or 2 seasons out of it. My previous gazebo I had for 10 years and had to replace the fabric every other year. Our season in PA is mid-May to Oct 1. We will take down the frame and store. If you get freezing temps take it down
