Let me start off by saying the Gazebo looks amazing and is very sturdy. I used both paper and the app directions while putting this together and I thought they were very clear and easy to follow. A big lesson learned was to set every little baggie of screws, bolts and washers in a way that makes them easy to find. Do the same with the boards. That is the most time consuming part. Finding which board, screws and washers go together can be super difficult if you aren’t organized. Now for the bad: my set came warped. I haven’t seen wood this warped before. Having to ask for them to send me replacement boards cost me DAYS putting this together. Luckily they have great customer service. It was a major frustration of this project. Some of my roof panels didn’t seem to line up even though they were square. This was do to warped boards not aligning with the purlins. I’m happy with the end result… once i get my new ridge cap because i had a bent one…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased and assembled our gazebo this past summer and used it many times rain or shine. It was not difficult to assemble. The directions were clear and detailed. We have received many compliments on its appearance from our friends and neighbors. We are very pleased with the price compared to hiring someone to build one from scratch. We highly recommend this kit.

I had the gazebo assembled in September. The crew that put it up worked quickly and did a great clean up job. The gazebo is very functional and receives so many compliments on the look. It is extremely sturdy and provides great shelter from the Michigan elements. It is nice to be able and sit outside even when raining.

[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.

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!

We had a EF2 tornado come thru and it stood up to it. We had it anchored to a concrete patio and the only damage it has is a few dents in metal roof and one side has a dents and gouges from flying debris. Our house needs a new roof (even though the roof was only one year old from flying debris) and new siding. This is very sturdy and beautiful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added our new gazebo 3 months after moving into our new home and we are absolutely loving every part of it! The look this gazebo gives our back yard is so perfect and family and friends all love spending time in our gazebo. The gazebo is the best addition to our loving home.

Got a quote from a contractor for a 10x10 gazebo and was quoted $14,000+. We found this and for the price it was worth a try. There were some very slight imperfections on the wood when arrived (from shipping co.). I was able to assemble mostly everything myself. Lifting the roof panels definitely requires 3 people and ladders for each. We bought this as part of building our dream outdoor kitchen. We've had the gazebo for 9 months now through rain and wind and blasting sun, and it still looks brand new. We are very happy with the purchase and for the price you can't beat it!

Not going to lie-this thing is a beast to out together. The directions could be a tad clearer for the average person. There are very specific ways to attach things and if anything is backwards it’ll mess up the whole thing. We ended up having to drill a few additional holes to assemble the roof panels. It’s not perfect, but it’s sturdy and looks great! Take your time and have 2-3 people to help. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a 16 x 12 gazebo; it was delivered in 6 well packed boxes; most holes were pre-drilled (accurately); hardware was first class and extra pieces were included for most items; everything was well marked; the instruction book was well designed and easy to follow; even came with an electrical panel; everything went together nicely and assembly was easy. I would recommend this item to anyone.
