I'm so happy I purchased this gazebo. It adds a great look to my backyard patio. Everything was labeled nicely to put together, although at times it was a little confusing. In all it took about 10 hours to put together with multiple people but so worth it in the end!

This Gazebo is engineered well, packaged great and if you follow the written instructions you will not have a problem. Now with that said, please put the 10 hours of intermediate assembly time out of your head, it takes much more that that. I consider myself advanced when it comes to assembly of something like this and other than needing help to raise the roof panels and adding the side trim I built it myself and I am 64. The roof panel install took 1 1/2 hours with three people and you will need that many in my opinion. Follow all the tips and instructions in the manual. I really recommend spending the time to open every box and remove everything. Keep all the hardware in their bags so you can reference the part number. Organize the wood, hardware and other misc. parts. Regarding the kit I received, nothing was broken or missing. If you are following the instructions everything fits together as intended. If you are finding yourself wanting to rework something you are probably building it wrong. All bolt locations and pilot holes were where they should be. I built this Gazebo on a new paver patio. The 4 x 4's shown in the picture were squared and spanned using the drawing in the manual to support the Gazebo and are buried in concrete 30" down. I did not want to anchor the Gazebo to the pavers or pour separate slabs but instead wanted to use Lag Bolts through the Gazebo columns which I knew were hollow into the 4 x 4's. Again in my opinion this how I wanted to support lateral forces and wind load. When you first open all the boxes and see all the parts the project looks overwhelming. But in truth it's not and if you take your time you will be happy with the build. This is a very robust, well designed and manufactured product that in no way looks cheap sitting on your patio.

We're absolutely thrilled with our new backyard oasis addition! The roof is perfectly designed for stringing up twinkling lights and hanging a refreshing fan. We've been impressed with its sturdiness so far, and we can't wait to make unforgettable summer memories beneath its shade.

We purchased our gazebo several months after moving into our new home. We had it professionally installed by a crew out of Columbus. They worked nonstop and knew what they were doing. Both the delivery and installation exceeded our expectations, every visitor has noted the quality of materials and workmanship. We added all of the extras to personalize our beautiful outdoor space and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and joy it brought us this past spring and summer. We can’t wait for next spring!

I ordered this and had it shipped to me because it was so heavy. It took 2-3 people to put it together over the course of a few days. Not the easiest to put together but everything is great quality, it's sturdy and looks great, use it almost everyday, put it outside our patio to cover grill.

[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.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

We love our gazebo. We added lights and a fan. My husband and I come out in the evenings just to sit and relax. It's like a staycation. We had a graduation party yesterday and got so many compliments on it. We plan to add a shade on one side for the sun for longer hours of enjoyment!

This piece is beautiful. The style brings any start or addition to what you are trying to achieve with your backyard oasis. Very modern, the coloring of the beautiful wood really accents my home. Was easy to put together and my family thanks you for having something so beautiful and affordable for all to enjoy! Come on over!
