Update: After the first big storm with high winds the canopy top ripped and came loose from the frame. The frame survived with no damage.
Really annoying canopy corners are not fastened to frame. The canopy corners flip up in the slightest wind. See pictures. It looks like canopy has a design flaw as they should have sewed pockets to slip over the metal corner to prevent canopy from flipping up. I contacted the seller and asked if my canopy was a manufacturing mistake and was told to use rope t tie it down (not sure how). I will probably add some Velcro to remedy the problem. For the price of this Gazebo you would think it would have been tested outside and designed to withstand a 5 mile an hour wind.
The frame is not sturdy the gussets help but metal is not really strong (metal bends really easy) so doesnt add much to frame strength. It really could use a second rail around the top perimeter to strengthen up the frame.
I dont use the side skirts so cant comment on those. I would have liked to see a version with stronger frames and side sold separately.
Canopy material is ok blocks sun nicely, keeps rain out but material could be stronger.
This is a mediocre product slightly better than a pop up Gazebo
