Bought this knowing its not going to last too long. Im hoping for 2 seasons maybe 3. For the price its very nice. Large size and privacy curtain/ canopy quality it great. Frame and post are aluminum which works well outside but can easily break and blow away. This has many pieces and you must decipher the pics to assemble. I assemb 80 alone but had to have help to attach frame to posts and lift top onto frame. I highly recommend a drill or electric screwdriver with Allen wrench attachment, there are screws for days. I fil the hollow posts with large grade gravel to help weight down (small will fall out the bottom drainage holes) and I am also drilling into patio. Overall Im glad I bought it but you cant just pop this up and forget about it.
