This has been better than expected. Two of us put it together in about 5 hours. The corners of some of the roof panels were a bit bent, but they worked fine. We elevated ours onto concrete pillars, anchored the legs and wrapped in faux stone. Looks really fantastic and the extra height makes it look grand while remaining homey with cafe lights strung throughout it. We didn't use the curtains since we elevated the gazebo on the pillars. We've had a few really gusty, windy days and even hail since it's been installed the last couple of weeks and it's held up well. Really enjoying it!
