Quictent 12'x12' Gazebo for Patios with Privacy Curtain and Mosquito Netting, Outdoor Dome Top Patio Gazebo for Shade and Rain, Easy Setup Shelter for Deck Backyard, Garden-Beige

I’d rate this a 5 overall but was very irritated that I was missing 8 bolts that hold the walls to the legs. So mine is being held with 2 in each wall instead of the 3 it’s suppose to. Also the directions are a joke! A few sketches but no words. Some important instructions missing like the fact that the walls u need to have the silver button facing inwards to be sure the top will go on! We had to take them off and put back on facing the right way! Also a lot of the poles were bent on the ends and wouldn’t go together without using pliers to bend them back to normal shape! So besides all those issues it’s overall nice and sturdy if anchored!

We ordered this and almost decided to return it , glad we didn't. This one is great! We saw that it went on sale after we had already ordered and paid for it , the seller was kind enough to send us a refund as soon as we sent the email , very fast. It came way faster than expected which was great. Set up was easy enough , we had four people. It was super fast. We did not get a chance to secure to the ground in night one. We got a seventy Mile and hour wind gust , it ripped it over and bent one leg so badly it cracked. We bent it back put a clamp around it and it seems to be fine. So far no complaints we love it.

Don't buy this. I spent HOURS scouring Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart, etc looking for an affordable and somewhat sturdy gazebo option for our back patio and based on reviews and comparisons, landed on this one. Do not make my same mistake. First off, there were 4 poles completely unusable, damaged and bent. The company sent replacement parts but unfortunately didn't matter in the end. I am shocked at the overall unsturdiness of the structure. I realize this isn't meant to be permanent but this piece of junk wouldn't even withstand a light breeze. My 5 and 8 year old were able to carry it to move it on our patio. It's wobbly, flimsy, and honestly, not worth your time or money. I'm furious I have to pay to return it, considering the worthless instructions included with it didn't even explain how to put on the top or sides at all and the diagrams to assemble the frame are a joke. I can't believe they're charging this much for such a hunk of crap and they must be paying these other reviewers because I would Never recommend this to anyone to purchase.Update after disassembly to return: screws were rusted as well as parts of the metal. It was up for 10 days and we had NO rain during that time.

I love this tent. It's beautiful when I use it at craft fairs. I bought this specifically because I can put a rail or two across the top and have additional room to hang products. HOWEVER, like many other reviews, it arrived damage AND after using it twice, one of the 8 prongs on the crown broke. It clearly showed how filmsyly it was designed. I ended up taking it to a body shop to have it welded and the remaining 7 prongs reinforced. It cost me $30 for that little peace of mind. Other than this I have no trouble with the tent. My first use I set it up on concrete with 60lbs of weight and it performed great. It needs two people to complete the set up because it's very difficult (but not impossible, just use a foot stool) to get the top on with one person. With two people it took 53 minutes after unboxing. If you do not disassemble the top rails it will save you 15 minutes.

General Thoughts and Assembly:The Quictent Gazebo has been excellent. I was initially leery about a gazebo without a top vent for a couple reasons: 1) Too hot in the summer, 2) Not as resilient to wind. It turns out that both reasons caused me to love the closed system: 1a) we only kept the curtains closed on the sides exposed to the sun, 1b) The closed system keeps the cold out in the winter (we had a small gas fire-pit on a table that kept it nice a toasty inside), 2) It turns out that the closed system worked fine in the windAn interesting side note… having the mosquito net closed seemed to help the inside stay warmerThe gazebo went up in about 45 minutes with my adult son helping. It has snaps to pop the top off for easy assembly and disassembly. I strongly recommend taking the top canvas off for winds >35 mph.Durability and Excellent Customer Service:The gazebo survived 35+ mph winds and a hail storm (see photo), but did not fully survive a 50+ mph storm. I was unable to get home to pop the top off before the storm hit. The damage was repairable, but Yummy at Quictent was able to get me setup with new components. I must say that Quictent’s support staff (Yummy) was extremely responsive and helpful. She wanted to make sure that I was fully satisfied (even when she did not have to)Design/Build/Workmanship:I’m a Systems Engineer. In my professional opinion, there are a few places where the engineering and workmanship could be improved… the gussets could be thicker with a longer weld (they were just spot-welded). Some of the other welds were not 100% as well. I only found this out when I subjected my poor gazebo to conditions outside of its design parameters. Other than that, the system is well-designed and quite durable.The zippers are big and strong on both the curtains and the mosquito net (surprising for the price range)Aesthetics:The beige color is a cool neutral color that works well hot and cold. The super sturdy curtain system works well. The Velcro’d curtains will pull-away rather than ripping off of hooks/eyelets. I like the fact that the curtain sashes are integrated into the curtains.The hammered-look powder coated steel is durable and remains good looking… though—when I did a repair—I dumped some rusty water out of the insides of a few of the structural components (not a big deal… just kind of strange)Bottom Line:Keep your eye on the wind reports if you want to leave the top on. These gazebos will not survive wind storms >50 mph (for calibration… few steel top gazebos are rated for winds above 45 mph)For the price, even if I had to replace my gazebo every few years… I’m 100% satisfied.
