Garden Oasis Laurel Park 12 Ft. x 10 Ft. gazebo with net, bar table and 2 stools — 

This Laurel Park 12x10 gazebo looked great, loved the built in bar and the stools that came with it. Before purchasing it, I went comparison shopping and read the reviews online - all favorable. So I purchased  the gazebo online and waited for it to be shipped to my local store. I spent the next couple of weekends making my deck bigger to accomodate the gazebo, and when the gazebo arrived I spent another weekend putting it together. It looked fantastic.That was in the middle of July.

8 weeks later in the third week of September, the gazebos roof has caved in, the support arms for the roof snapped, and tore the canopy to shreds. We had a mild rain last night - nothing anywhere near enough to justify damage to anything. I've noticed the canopy collecting water before - but the rain last night was so light - it didnt seem to warrant worrying about it.

This gazebo suffers from a bad design, combined with cheap inferior materials - this gazebo is not worth the cost, the time, the effort, or the dissappointment. With a pricetag of approx. $400US it is not a cheap item, and I expected something more durable. If I wanted something disposable I could've picked up some $20 umbrellas at my nearest home center and used them for a year or two.

This is definetely not worth the $400+ that it cost - for 7/8 weeks use - it's not even worth 1/8 of the cost....with all the work I had to put in to owning this thing - I feel like somebody should be paying me for my time.
