Look! Z Galleries Outdoor Pavillion

The thing is, though the weather is LA is great, sometimes the sun is, well, too sunny and definitely too hot. We need shade! We need trees! We need to access our inner Kelly Wearstler and put up this pavilion.

Just the thing for escaping the noonday beams that pelt us without cease, it beckons to the kid in us who was always building forts...but in a distinctly grown-up way. Water-resistant, all four sides unzip and Velcro strips hold the sides pulled back to the tent's poles, so it can serve as a room whether the weather is sunny or not. Easy to assemble, it stores in its own duffel bag, tempting us to take it our next camping trip. Talk about setting the stage for a fabulous time! Available in Natural/Chocolate, Natural/Green and Natural/Black, exclusively through Z Gallerie

Yeah, well, I bought two of their black and white striped tents this summer. Fading began almost immediately ("fade resistant" should mean the fabric would RESIST fading for at least one season) to an ashy grey, the tassles melted off in the sun and when I contacted them less than 3 months after the purchase I was told by customer service that the item was "fade and water resistant" but not "fade proof" (Hmmmmmm, my Pottery Barn fade resistant umbrellas are still looking pretty good after 3 years). I took one of the panels in to the store where they were purchased and the manager agreed that there was almost no resistance to fading (insert Seinfeld joke here), but said that once customer service makes its determination, it needs to be pushed up to a regional manager. That was three weeks ago. $1100 for VERY poor quality and even worse customer service. We'll see how the dispute fairs with AMEX as they've temporarily taken the charge off my bill and have contacted Z Gallerie on my behalf. I've read a number of posts about Z gallerie's distinct lack of service and poor quality. Appalling. Buyer be very wary.
