Quality of components is top-notch and packaging was well thought out to avoid damage to any of the pieces. Every piece was there and accounted for in the boxes and assembly went exactly as described in the instructions. This is a super solid and heavy gazebo, so 2 adults is definitely needed to erect this building. Plan on 2 pretty full days of assembly with 2 people. The cedar looks and smells amazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect addition to our backyard. It feels very estately, large, substancial, but provides a cozy space for our yard. The gazebo is very sturdy, solid and has survived 2 snow storms and several wind storms already. We paid for assembly and it was well worth it. It took one (very strong) man 5 hours to set this up. He was definitely a pro, as I'm certain it would have taken us several days to complete.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Built this over the summer. I was able to build it all by myself except for when I needed to flip the leg sections over. Manufacturer supplied extra of every fastener. Hardware was high quality with a durable painted finish. Instructions were thorough. Beautiful structure and all the bracing inside looks great. I'm using it to store my tractor implements but it would be great as a huge gazebo

We purchased the Norwood kit and it arrived packaged perfectly with no damage of any kind to the components. We had a family "barn raising" over the course of a few days on a new deck we had built prior to the arrival of the kit. The BILT app was amazing and helped us assemble the kit without issue. Since finishing the well-designed structure we have built a 12 foot long dining table with benches for friends and family hospitality. The Norwood design and aesthetic naturally draws people to the warm cedar environment with exposed rafters and heat deflecting solid roof. This has been one of the best investments we have ever made in our yard and for our family. (PS: A carpenter foreman friend remarked about the great quality and design of the Norwood Gazebo and was impressed by the value and family friendly assembly.)

This unit is well made and sturdy, but be forewarned. There are hundreds of pieces and hundreds of screws and bolt. It is not hard to put together if follow the directions and try to look ahead to see what it is that you are doing. I did 95% of it by myself, but I had plenty of time to do. If you have access to help take it. Things will go alot smoother. There were no missing parts. However one sheating board was cut wrong and I had to recut the lap and drill new holes, no big deal. Overall I'm very pleased with unit.

I bought this because it looked like a good value, and everything was included. I pre stained mine, and I would recommend doing it, It will add a couple of days to the assembly time. I was short some hardware. Most of the hardware bags had 1 extra piece , however some were short several pieces. I did erect this myself, except for the roof, with many saw horses, and scaffolding.

The kit arrived at an incredibly busy time for me. We had just moved and I had many tasked to complete before leaving the country for two weeks. On Sunday night I decided my slate was open for Monday so I began reading and trying to understand the assembly instructions. Monday at 5:00 AM I began unboxing and stacking pieces in a logical placement. With a few breaks to recover from the heat, I had the gazebo erected and fully complete at 7:30 PM. We are thrilled with how this looks and are now excited to return to out home in 7 days to begin enjoying this idyllic space created under our Backyard Discovery 16x12 Norwood Gazebo. What a wonderful addition to our yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Final product looks great. I purchased WITH installation but due to a hiccup in scheduling I chose to get a refund and tackle it ourselves. It did take us more hours than described, and more men to get the assembled roof on. Missing 1 screw and had to use several online assembly videos. Recently no problem holding up to 8” of snow.

It has been 1 year since we bought and installed our gazebo and have had Zero issues. I highly recommend downloading the installation app in conjunction with the manual. It was a simple but time consuming install. It was well packaged and easy to locate part numbers. After assembly, it is very sturdy beautiful wood and design.

The 14 x 12 Gazebo is great! We were able to put it together in three days with a little help from a few friends. The parts fit like a glove. If I had a recommendation, it would be to add a bit more detail to the assembly instructions to answer a few questions and streamline the assembly. Otherwise, a great product, quality wood!
