Not for the weak of heart to put together. We just had two of us putting the gazebo together contrary to advice. We were shorted a couple corner brackets but once we got started it went fairly smooth. We added teardrop lights and a couple fans. It provides good shade and the fans keep a breeze stirring. If you’re not up for a full weekend project, pay to have the gazebo assembled.

I purchased this product and was on the schedule everything was good until the week of delivery. Freight company pushed back delivery date multiple times. Took the day off work to ensure the delivery arrived on time. Perfect arrived day before install. Confirmed with Goconfigure the night before. Spoke with installer. Everything is good. Day of install, the installer Phil went MIA. I called and texted him 25 times, no response. Goconfigure contacted him, no response. Now im stuck with 1200 pounds and 8 boxes blocking my driveway. No care or urgency now that they have my money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my gazebo for about six months and I love it!! We are always using it. It was so easy to buy, track and we paid fir it to be assembled. Highly recommend if you pay fir assembly..not only professional installed but at an excellent price.

Retired life in Yuma, AZ is the best. However, as the "Sunniest City in the World" with an average of 308 days of sun, shade is a valuable commodity. We chose the Backyard Discovery 16x12 gazebo for its substantial good looks. The cedar is beautiful, the steel roof is no maintenance, the power strip with USB ports was an added bonus for lights, electronics, and cooking. We are proud to show it off. This is our happy place for cards with friends, dinners, and parties. Don't wait, do it now. You'll love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have thoroughly enjoyed this gazebo for the last few months. Looks great on my patio. My dealing with customer service after purchase was excellent. Look forward to enjoying my gazebo for years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Highly recommend Backyard Discovery gazebos. Instructions were easy to follow and easy to assemble. I was able to assemble 90% solo. Only when the two halves were put together and the roof attached did I need assistance. Gazebo looks GREAT!

I researched different companies. None of then compared in quality. Sure you could spend less, but it would not be half the quality. The packaging is great. The lumber was in good condition. It is a big project. There are so many parts. Please keep everything organized. It probably should require 4 strong people, but helpers don't usually appear. My wife, son, and myself did the whole project in 2 days. I'm 54, my wife is 36, and my son is 13. The project goes together pretty straight forward. Have the correct tools and read twice. They do provide extra hardware in case you lose one. Overall we have been extremely thrilled. I would highly recommend.

I bought this gazebo to replace an existing Tiki hut with a deteriorating thatched roof. I love the clean lines of this structure and how it fits into my poolside space. I especially like the durability of the metal roof and the wind rating (we’ve had two major storms this year with tropical storm force winds and no damage to report)

The instructions are extremely well. The best I've ever seen. The quality of the wood and hardware is extremely good. This far exceeded my expectations. I did not want an unfinished wood look.So I primed and painted the wood prior to building the structure

It was too expensive to build a percent roof covering our back deck. This gazebo did the trick. We installed a sun shade to stop the evening sun so we can enjoy the tranquility of our back yard. And cookout without getting rained on. Would definitely buy again. I put most of it together by myself. You definitely need two or three people to slide the roof panels in place.
