I am very pleased with the gazebo. It arrived in 3 boxes, 1 of them being very heavy. It took 3 of us approximately 5hrs to build.
The gazebo is made to a very high, precise standard and fitted together very accurately. Everything was meticulously numbered which helped greatly with the build. You definitely need at least 2 people to build it as the roof is a little tricky.
We unfortunately missed a step during the roof build and didn't insert the screws into the roof runners for the extra bar supports but we undid the centre support, one end at a time, and managed to slide them down. It's a very stunning looking, strong ,and sturdy gazebo and after purchasing many soft roof gazebos, you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to this hard top.
The curtains being on runners is such a fantastic idea and makes opening and closing the sides so easy. My only slight negative is that if you have any of the sides open singularly, there is no way of tying them back so they don't flap but nothing a magnet tie back won't fix.
Overall fantastic product and definitely looks like it will withstand our English weather all year round.
