[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Gazebo was a replacement for 25+ year old gazebo. My wife and I with some assistance from the grandson were able to assemble this in one weekend. The instructions were very straightforward and components were mostly manageable from and assembly and with perspective. Yep we utilized the grandsons strength and height to get the roof assembled and in position. All within our expectations and abilities. It adds some beauty to an already beautiful view.

This gazebo is built like a tank. Took about 12 hours to install, but definitely worth the effort. We now have a focal point in our backyard that everyone is asking about, and could not be more excited to use it all Summer! A bit bummed it is not pre-sealed but other than that no complaints.

I bought this for afternoon shade on my deck and it’s been perfect. Don’t be intimidated by the unboxing. Take your time and the instructions are very clear and everything is labeled clearly. When you’re frustrated just walk away, I promise it will fit together. It’s solid and looks great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer, took us a while to put it together since there was a lot of pieces and we would work on it after work. But after we finally got it all together, it was perfect ! We get so many compliments on it !

After looking at this gazebo for a long time, we finally made the purchase and love it! It did take us longer than 2 days, but we were not in a hurry, took our time and made sure we had all pieces put together correctly. We highly recommend to read the printed directions and to watch the videos. Use the specifically coded boards and hardware that are listed in the directions and everything should work and come together. To install roof panels, definitely need a minimum of 3 strong men. We did have a couple of pieces that were damaged in shipment and had to be replaced, with one being a main column. We called customer service and they shipped both pieces in a very timely fashion (also we were within the 30 day warranty). It is well worth the time and money we invested. Now we’re ready to enjoy and share great times with friends and family.

When the boxes came they were mangled from shipping. Several hundred pounds of wood boards shipped in a cardboard box is kind of a disaster. I was thrilled to find that we were only missing a couple pieces and nothing was broken. Customer service was so pleasant to work with for quick replacement. My husband a teenage boys love building lego sets, so building this was right up their alley. I tried to help and quickly discovered the important of details. I tapped out and just let the experts handle it. I have a beautiful gazebo. It withstood the winter. Snow slid off as it's designed to. I can't wait for spring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took 20 years of begging husband for a pergola. I found this one in early spring and we ordered it. Mind you, I’d been researching cost, style, and overall ease of assembly for a really long time. I found this one and we pulled the trigger! Perfect we think. We live were we get a lot of wind and snow and so far it’s held its own. So do all of our neighbors, friends and the delivery guys. Absolutely love it. It’s beautiful and looks like it will last a long time. Very highly recommend.

[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.] I had spent years running out during high winds or thunder storms, climbing on a ladder to pull the cover off my old lightweight patio gazebo. I desperately wanted to upgrade but the cost of building my own was crazy expensive. Then comes the Cordova! What a huge upgrade! Unit looks great even like I built it myself (well I did!). It was a lot of work to build but I’m very happy with the outcome. Be sure to give yourself time to build it. It does take time and extra help. Don’t rush and layout all of the parts. You’ll need extra help lifting the roof panels into place. They are not light. Plan ahead, take your time and it will be well worth the effort. They also gave one or two extra of every fastener. No missing parts! That all said, I did have a number of chipped or warped boards. Careful planning allowed me to cover or straighten most of them. Backyard Discovery did offer to send me extra stain (which was nice!) but haven’t seen it yet. Will be adding my own electrical and ceiling fan in the next week. Just in time to enjoy the summer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and assembled my gazebo 5 months ago and it was pretty simple to assemble. Everything could be put together by yourself if you want (I'd still recommend 2 folks) except for putting the roof panels up. Your gonna want to get one or two stronger folk to help you with that, but still wasn't to bad. Two members were damaged upon delivery but the company was pretty quick with sending replacements with no questions asked. Overall pleased with the gazebo, looks great, is quite sturdy (I live in a windy area and it doesn't budge), and the electrical power outlet attachment is definitely nice (especially for straining lights up).
