Member's Mark 10' x 12' Alameda Gazebo

I have another great product from Sam's Club. When it was delivered I couldn't believe my eyes when the BIG box (almost 400 pounds) was completely intact. There was a few dings here and there. I took off the lid and was shocked to find a steel frame that incased the gazebo parts. The instructions were on top which I read before I started the assembly. I laid everything out according to the numbers. We (it takes two to do it right) started in the am and finished in the pm. All the parts were there and all the bolts. There were extra in case you needed them. The quality of the metal was strong and fit together like a glove. I liked the hand tightening of the bolts first which meant no striping and then going back and using a wrench ( 2 supplied) to tighten the rest of the way. After we finished the assembly we stood back and looked at each other and almost in unison said "did we do that!". I look forward to spending my quiet times for many years to come in my Alameda Gazebo mosquito free.

I have never received a better packaged product. The packaging designer deserves 5 stars for this alone. The parts were well labeled as well as well packaged. I would recommend 2 people to assemble the gazebo. The assembly suffers only from a couple of ambiguous instruction items. There were two instances where the assembler had to guess how the parts aligned. However, the factory made part identification a breeze, and also supplied extra parts. All in all, a well designed robust gazebo. I would recommend this product. We probably will buy another for our shore house.
