Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
Pros: The product looks beautiful. I love that you can see through the ceiling. It wasn't hard to assemble, just time consuming. (Two adults and a third when it was time to raise the structure- 6 hours.) It seems sturdy. There are extra nuts and bolts if you lose one. After only a few days it has been through a few mild winds (10-15mph) and is holding up fine. Ours is bolted to a deck.
Cons: Some of the holes didn't line up, metal frames were slightly bent (use a wrench to bend back into place.) The roof material seems flimsy and will likely break if anything falls on it. The curtains and ties make no sense. The attachment plastic things for the curtains will likely break.
Tips: Plan a whole day to assemble this or do it in two days (frame first then the roof panels.) Lay everything out alphabetically first (but don't unwrap.) Leave the roof panels in the box till you need them so they don't break or get damaged. Square the corners early (we didn't and it was a pain in the end.) Use a power tool to tighten all the screws. Have a wrench and persuader (aka rubber mallet) handy if the metal needs to be bent back into place. A screwdriver can help line up the holes that are off just a little. Do the roof panels exactly according to the diagram (my hubby tried to go rogue and it was really confusing until I insisted that we follow the directions.) It is helpful to have two step ladders and three saw horses for assembly. The saw horses save your back and the ladders save your shoulders. Go slowly and take your time, I watched a video on how to assemble it the night before and it really helped. Good luck!
