We purchased this gazebo 9 months ago and chose to put it up ourselves. Shortly after receiving it we had to move out of our home due to slab leak repairs in our kitchen. We were finally able to put it together and it was a fun and challenging project. The instructions are very clear, however you need to be somewhat mechanically inclined. It’s a beautiful gazebo and a wonderful addition to our backyard. Having electricity is a nice touch too. We plan to install a ceiling fan. We’re looking forward to many family gatherings and coffee chats.

I put almost all of this together by myself (54 yrs old), just putting the sections together over about 3 nights, then I assembled it all by myself on a Saturday, I did have to recruit help at the end, to assist in putting the roof sections on, the roof actually needs 3 people, we managed to do it with 2, the roof is definitely the hardest part of the assembly, but I highly suggest having help, be prepared it's not a 1 day simple project, it is fairly easy to assemble, it's just time consuming. if you want something that looks great and is sturdy, I highly recommend this gazebo.

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the gazebo at the beginning of summer and have enjoyed it everyday. Great place to sit and spend time with family even when it rains without getting wet! Very detailed assembly instructions that anyone can follow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I really like the gazebo and looking forward sitting outside when it's raining or sunny. My son, nephew, cousin and I had fun spending time together while building the gazebo. I had a few questions and your customer service was extremely helpful and kind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a space that we never use but now with the added shade and outdoor seating we are using year round any time of day! The instruction app came in clutch! I don’t consider myself a handy person but I did most of it myself. Very happy with our purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and installed this a month ago, the install process is lengthy so I recommend packaging with an install. The only real issue is the kiln dried wood dried warped over time, so try and keep the product out of the sun If installing over multiple days. As with most kits, the most time consuming process is sorting parts. Overall I have gotten lots of compliments and would recommend this product.

I bought this a couple months ago and it took about 2 days to build and 3 people at times and wasn't too difficult. Love the power feature so we can add lights around it soon. It completes the back yard perfectly and provides shade at a reasonable price since patio covers are so high. Materials seem nice and sturdy and look quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my 14x10 Cordova gazebo. Great addition to my patio area. Materials are excellent quality, cut for precise fit, pretty easy to assemble. Instructions and video great help. Please with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this in March to satisfy my desire for a covered deck. I wanted to hire a contractor to build a covered add on but it was way to expensive. I'm so glad I found this gazebo. I have not one thing to say bad about this product. It came in 4 or 5 boxes- earlier than expected which was a plus. The first thing I recommend is to find the box with the instructions and follow them from start to finish and you will not have any issues. It will start with telling how to unpack the boxes and lay everything out... yes guys, this is important. This product came with 4 clamps, drill bits, just about all you need to get the job done. You will be amazed how quality this product is. All the boards were pre-cut, pre- notched, pre- drilled, everything fit just as it was supposed to. We did have to change the order up a tad bit since we were building it on our deck up against the roof on the house, but it still worked great. It was designed to be built in the open. We also added guttering to ours to help keep the splatters down. (something to be considered as an add on maybe- it looks great) We have gotten so many compliments on it and everyone in agreement with how solid it is and well built. I hope this review lets you know just how much you need one of these. I don't think we've ever made a better purchase or have been happier than we are with this one. Don't think twice - just buy it. You won't be sorry. It''s now November and we still love it. I tell myself every day what a great investment this was
