We were very happy with this until we broke it, which was totally our fault.  Consequence of living in a northern climate and setting it up during an early heatwave only to have it snow again.  Those metal bars are not meant to withstand that kind of weight, unfortunately.  our fault.  My only issue with this gazebo is that there really is not enough drainage for rain.  We were constantly having to push the water off with a broom.  Be forewarned.
