[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in the spring of '23. Took me a few days of working on it for an hour or two here and there to get it completely put together. Definitely a lot of parts and materials, but the assembly is pretty straight forward. I bought this gazebo as I live on top of a wide open hill in Western New York so the winds and snow are substantial. Wanted a gazebo that would last and take the weight of the snow and high winds. Going into the first winter with it so can't comment yet on the snow, but I have no concerns. This Gazebo is build very well with high quality materials. Worth every penny!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought our gazebo a few months ago. Due to time constraints for other aspects of our backyard project, we had to build it ourselves. The instructions, videos and clearly labeled parts, made the construction "easy" to do. The finished product has already become a favorite spot to hang out with family, friends, and each other. Thank you Backyard Discovery!

Bought this from Sam’s Club a few months ago to put on our back patio. The size is perfect. The quality of the wood and the engineering is outstanding. It’s not a simple assembly, but if you’re familiar with hand tools and have a friend or 2, it can be done in a day or two.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this to our pool area as more of a place to sit out and enjoy when the weather got cooler. We've slept under it and sat out there when it's rained. We just love the quality and the value it's added to our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo in memory of my sister. She always sat in the shade, while I always seek the sun. This gazebo will give my family and friends a place to choose where they want to be, sun or shade, close to the lake.

ALL components are well labeled and easily identifiable. Even the metal roof components are film covered to keep it protected until installation. I think removing the film is the actual hardest part, patience is needed, but you figure out tricks as you go along. Assembling sections on a painter's tarp will help minimize scratches and scuffs to wood finish. One main builder and an extra set of hands can complete the project, but a couple extra sets always helps speed things up. Great investment, because after anchoring it, it is SOLID!

I bought this because of the great reviews I read, all were good , now I am here to say that for the price of this pergola, I was highly disappointed that the posts are hollow and they used 2 pieces of wood GLUED together to make each side. Wow, mine sat outside until I got it put up, and every post started separating. I called and told them and they sent more posts, the bottom they put a solid piece in the opening to make it look solid but other end is wide open! I am very disappointed in the quality of this product, beware

Instructions were very informative, recommend, reading thru all steps and understanding each will facilitate the assembly. Parts fit nicely together. Had a part damaged in shipping, but called the 800 number and they had the part shipped out that day. Very Happy with purchase. Now I will be tackling Backyard Discovery's Swing set for my grandchildren. You make great products. Thank You (by the way this way the second Gazabo I have purchased and the third one I have Built).

It is nice looking and sturdy. The color of the wood is slightly lighter than pictured. There’s also a ton of imperfections on the wood and for how much I spent, it is a bit bothersome. Overall, it’s a high quality product. I really liked the option to pay extra for installation. The guys did a good job setting it up overall, though it did prevent us from noticing the imperfections prior to setting it up.

We needed shade on our patio and had a hard time finding something because our space was so large. So we decided to purchase (2) of the Cordova 14 X 10 Gazebos which fit perfect on one side of our space. Now we have a perfect shaded space and a sun space to enjoy the summer months.
