Impression so far
This was purchased and received in December so we haven't used it yet, but we did open it up and did a practice set up. I've read the material, watched the videos, and I'm a pretty intuitive and handy person. It appears to be a nice unit we hopefully will enjoy and be able to use for years. But my findings so far are: A small detail, but after unzipping the bag, the gazebo is tied up with narrow strips of fabric that are not attached to the gazebo. For what we paid compared to a Vevor unit, I expected better. The specs state the carry bag length is 66 inches. It is actually closer to 72 inches, which will now make a difference with where we will need to put it when we travel. It is stated that it only takes 45 seconds to set up. What it doesn't say is that is likely only for someone who has done it many times, and does not have the roll up walls in place. I expect to get faster, but even fully understanding what I was doing and how it works, it still took me 8 minutes to set up, not including the guy-lines. We specifically bought this unit because we liked the attached walls concept, but having them in place actually makes it harder to set up the unit. What is not shown anywhere is how to pack it, and this is where the rating loses a star. Sure, take down is easy - just set up in reverse. But once it is disassembled, figuring out how to fold the fabric so it fits nicely in the bag was almost impossible.
