[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving the design of this Mondawe gazebo. It's perfect for placing your grill under, with extra room under the hardtop roof to cook and keep you shaded. The double canopy works great at letting you bbq in the rain, without getting wet too so now I can grill even when it rains. Assembly was not bad either. It came in three separate boxes, so you can move each box one at a time without any heavy lifting. Assembly took me and my brother about a day and although the instruction manual lacks a few worded details here and there, the images, step by step pages, organized pieces and tools made putting it together straight forward. Assembly is not very difficult so a duo that is not experienced can put it together no problem. I would recommend at least two people to put it together (although one person who is experienced could probably put it together on their own if they were up for it). The base of each leg can be installed and mounted into wood, concrete, and even has metal stakes to help hold it down into the dirt until you decide how you want to permanent mount it. The aluminum frame is very sturdy, durable, and has some heft to it so you don't have to worry about it falling apart or flying away during storms. The gray finish is beautiful and looks very weather resistant. I think the finish will stand the rest of time and keep its original look for years to come. The sides are probably my favorite, considering they include two huge bar-style countertops that are very spacious, stable, and wide enough for sitting around it and placing plenty of large plates and drinks on it, without having to worry about anything not fitting or being too heavy. Under the canopy roof, there are two large metal loops that are attached to the base of the roof that you can use to hang lights and other accessories. So, this is a very well designed gazebo with several things in mind and covers plenty of bases. This has become my patios center of attention and I can tell it is durable enough to bring me plenty of good times outdoors throughout many years to come.
