I bought this Gazebo last Memorial Day  (2013) weekend and I absolutely love it!  Makes summertime in Austin almost tolerable. So far it has held up well and I live in an area that has high wind and the canopy top has held up well although it has faded from the sun.  Pretty easy to put together--I did 95% by myself but had to ask for help when you put the frame upright--you need an extra set of hands to hold it together as you attach the screws.  I used lag bolts to secure to my deck and it is very sturdy. Add some lights and solar lanterns and you have your own tropical paradise.
