I love the look of the Gazebo, I couldn't decide if I wanted a hard top or the soft top.  I did choose this soft top because of 2 factors: 1) it was far more affordable and 2) we may be putting up a permanent structure in next two years.  Said and hour to install.  I ran into one issue, I measured, the center peak hit my gutter, so had to adapt.  I do love it.  The instructions are fairly good, but could use a couple of things to make installing a little smoother.
