I couldn't be happier with this gazebo! I wanted to make my backyard more inviting/usable without it turning into a home improvement project, and this gazebo does just that. The quality is just right: well-made where it really counts (joints and weight-bearing supports) and thinner/lighter where it doesn't matter as much. The packaging was great - it arrived in perfect shape and the instructions are good. Assembly tip: When you put together the small/top canopy section, don't put the last corner bar on until after you've put the big canopy in place - we had to disassemble it a bit to stretch the big canopy into place.
