Common sense must prevail, July 13, 2005
This review is from: Outdoor Patio Tivoli 10x10' Garden Gazebo (Kitchen)
It seems that most of the people who have had trouble with this gazebo erected them in the yard. This gazebo has to be constrcted on a wooden deck with perhaps some additional metal support harware added. It's very attractive (I have two) and works out just fine on my deck where it is surrounded by the deck's hand rails. The main supports are attached to the rails of my deck and bolted to the wooden floor. This makes it a lot more sturdy. These things will blow around the yard all day long. They can't be set up on grass as a stand-alone structure.

gone with the wind, July 25, 2005
This review is from: Outdoor Patio Tivoli 10x10' Garden Gazebo (Kitchen)
Like everyone else. My wife and I liked the stylings of this gazebo, and like everyone else had this gazebo anchored down and had 100 lbs. additional weight to help keep it anchored. Yes, and like everyone else I came home to find the gazebo wrapped over my fence and part of the gazebo had seperated and struck my neighbor's house; breaking a window. Needless to say I doubt this gazebo can hold up to any winds above 10 mph. looks great but won't last.

Nightmare Gazebo, May 15, 2005
This review is from: Outdoor Patio Tivoli 10x10' Garden Gazebo (Kitchen)
My husband and I fell in love with the color and looks of this product. We liked the price, the netting and the fact that it would provide shade on our new patio at our brand new house. After only one week, on a bright, sunny day, it blew- literally - three houses down. Several pieces completely snapped beyond repair. The canopy tore badly. Target offered us a replacement. We chose the same gazebo AGAIN and this time we would make sure it would not blow away. (Or so we thought). Now being pros at assembly of this product, we had it built in no time. After one week, on a bright, sunny day, with my parents and I enjoying the day, the whole thing lifted completely up and blew. It hit the side of our home and ripped off our outside light fixture. My father's elbow was badly injured as it went wipping across the yard. We had it staked down, anchored with huge 30 lb cement blocks (on all four corner supports)- Part A of the gazebo - and we even bought 50 pound bags of limestone that were on top of the cement blocks as well!!!!! This product definatley has a serious design flaw!! Please do NOT buy this product and risk serious injury. What a WASTE!!!!!
