Is the structure stable enough to stand alone and does it have cross members on the top. I am not concerned about the fabric.

i live equi-distant from the bay and the ocean. winds are a big part of life. the pergola is standing,still in December. I had to take the fabric down in October and am very sad about that. all else, a good product and worth your money. i am glad for mine.

Yes it is...the middle layer is particle board on top and bottom and brown part that surrounds that layer is actually soft brown fabric. This is a very sturdy structure. We have a male kitten who is quite large and he jumps up and down and scratches the posts and it is standing up just fine. I highly recommend.

Not sure, the frame is metal and could rust after time and you don't want the fabric getting dirty or stained. It sets up and folds away pretty easy so I wouldn't leave it out.

not sure what you mean? it's a see-through net and has a fair bit of give, obviously. But it's fastened securely and if you wonder whether anyone will fall through it, then yes, it is "stable"!

The platform where you place the music is one piece and does NOT collapse. I did NOT find this stand to be convenient to assemble nor was it particularly portable.

It is wood. We have it against a wall It would work ok as a stand alone, too.

The corner piece does add a lot of stability, but each side could stand by itself if needed.

It stands alone perfectly fine. If you want to put it in the middle of the room you can without a problem. The only issue this bike rack has is with slanted bike frames. With straight bike frames it works like a charm.

I've had mine like this for the past year and I've never had a problem with it. It is very sturdy and stands on it's own, not leaning against the house.

If the fabric top is removed, it would still leave the peak and metal frame / strut assembly in place. However, I am not sure it can be removed and still be functional.

It seems very sturdy to me and is easy to assemble. However mine is in a corner where it never is subjected to any sort of stress. I would not expect it to have any problems.

Yes. It's extremely sturdy, with strong bars - they don't bend. We've had it for years now - still works and looks like new. You can hang pounds of clothes on it, and it folds easily.

NO, IT IS NOT STURDY! I added L-brackets to where the cross supports meet the corners, and flat brackets to where the 2 pieces of the cross supports connect, since it barely holds together when it's brand new, and mine still collapsed. We fixed it and added more brackets and even used paracord and giant ground stakes attached to each corner to give it more support, and even though it felt pretty solid after that, one mildly windy day, gusts of about 20 mph, it collapsed again. Please do yourself a favor and do not buy this gazebo.

Yeah. As long as you fix up those small stands provided, it stays pretty stable. I leave it on cardboard for an elevated state, and its as steady as a rock. But if you prefer like a pin drop silent night's sleep, this fan gets noisy as you up the speed. That's the only negative. But that has never been an issue for me so, I say its a great choice for the price. Hope this helped.

In my opinion it is quite stable. If you hang a several heavy jackets on one side and not the other it will tip, but otherwise it does not.

Yes, the top is sturdy enough to stack things. I have a couple of blankets & pillows on top of mine. It's fairly strong.

Unfortunately, no. It is not wide (from front to back) enough to stand up unassisted. It's also heavy and that will make it fall over.
