 Quality material - Poor WorkmanshipAug 10, 2009
I bought one of these and found it to be constructed very well. The frame is sturdy and well designed and the fabric is heavier than most. The problem is that, try as I could, I could not get the fabric canopy to fit over the frame. If I set up the frame first, the fabric would not stretch over it. If I attached the fabric before the frame was completely set up, I could not raise the sides far enough to lock in place. No, I am not a wimp :-)

So Far, So GoodJul 16, 2009
It was difficult to erect the first time. The instructions are poorly written. Most of it was guesswork on our part. It might be possible for a tall, strong person to put this up by himself if he's familiar with the installation process, and if there's a tree or post to secure one leg to in order to expand the metal frame.
Working on a flat surface, one person holds one leg while the other person walks away from him, pulling the other leg and expanding the metal framework. It opens effortlessly, but at this point, the open structure feels very fragile. Care must be taken to not twist the many accordion-like joints.
The hardest part was extending the legs upwards until they snapped into place. The user must stand underneath the frame and push the leg and framework straight up. Two females worked on the same leg at the same time. It took a great deal of strength to "bench press" the legs into position.
A short person will have a hard time pulling the heavy fabric over the frame without tearing it. Height is an asset for this step. Securing the corners of the fabric to the frame was easy, but do not fasten the middle Velcro tie-down straps until the canopy is fully erected. They can get jammed in the joint, which puts too much tension on the fabric. Once that happens, it takes a lot of work to free the straps without dissembling the entire structure.
Ropes for staking are sewn into the roof. No stakes are included. Since I plan to leave this gazebo up all summer, I looped extra rope around the top of the legs, and staked everything down. It seems quite secure from the wind.
I recommend waterproofing the seams before you set it up. My gazebo leaked the first time it rained. The company doesn't claim it to be waterproof so I won't fault it for that, but it would have been nice if the instructions had advised me to seal the fabric prior to assembly.
The metal frame and fabric covering are quality material.
I will update this report at summer's end, after I've disassembled the canopy and replaced it in its bag. I'm curious to see how well this item will perform as a season-long backyard canopy.
UPDATE - Oct. 18, 2009. Taking down the canopy was much easier than erecting it. I did it alone in less than 10 minutes. Fabric looks as good as the day it went up, even though it baked daily in the summer heat all season long. I expect to get several more seasons out of this thing. No rust is evident on the frame. The frame folded up nicely and without effort, and slipped right back into its original bag. Instead of struggling to get the fabric tarp in the bag as well (I have no patience for this type of thing), I folded it and placed it in a separate plastic bin. Worked for me. :)
UPDATE #2 - June 20, 2010. Nobody around to help erect this canopy, so I attempt it myself. It CAN be done. Instead of "bench-pressing" the corner of the frame like the directions state, push up on the middle roof supports. Easy! The legs pop right into place because the leverage is different. Do NOT secure the side flaps first or it won't go up. Just make sure they are hanging on the outside of the frame when you extend it.
 IF ITS BEARS ITS GREAT!!!Jan 03, 2009
HUBBY IS DIE HARD BEARS FAN, AND THIS IS JUST AWESOME!! GREAT PRICE AND FREE SHIP!!!
Fabulous Shipping was magnificentAug 30, 2008
This Gazebo was priced far below all the others I have looked at. I used std free shipping and it came 2 days later.. I love it. The only issue I wanted matching sides and they were not available. That would have made it that much better. I recommend this to any dihard sports fan... GO BIRDS>>>>>
Very EasyAug 24, 2007
The canopy was very easy to put up. It does take 2 people. This canopy will fold down (as long as you loosen the velcro on all 4 sides) with the cover still on it. You don't need to remove it and put it in the side pocket. We love it.
