Very pleased with this canopy. I wish I had ordered it sooner! I agree with other reviewers that the instructions aren't great, but I took time to study them and visualize the assembly. I was able to assemble by myself (older female) in a few hours. I removed the fabric canopy just yesterday for the winter due to incoming heavy storms. I think the frame will be fine without the fabric over the winter. I'm thinking of ordering a second one next summer.
