lol - Methinks perchance we designer types have sat through too many critiques of our - and our classmates' then colleagues' - work and are therefore inclined to critique any design we see automatically. Or maybe it's just me, lol.
The gazebo is indeed lovely, as are a lot of the elements of this game. I just put mine in my garden / magic area with the mermaid pond and faerie respite and magic garden, etc. That way it's not near my "downtown" buildings, so the scale doesn't bother me. Took some doing to rearrange half my kingdom to move it there but I'm happy with the results all around.
