Three months after assembly and enjoying our new gazebo, we couldn't be happier with the quality of our gazebo. We had an electrician hardwire in a ceiling fan and electrical outlet. Can't wait to put i a mounted pull down TV to watch fall college football and baseball playoffs.

This gazebo went up very well. The app with the videos was very helpful. My father who is very stubborn when it comes to building things was very impressed and didn't cuss one word the whole time. I am looking forward to buying the greenhouse kit next spring.

This is a beautiful, well-made, good-quality (but very comprehensive) project, and I admire the finished product every day! Everyone who has seen it comments on how classy it looks, and we couldn't be more happy with our purchase. Paying careful and close attention to each and every step of the instructions and available app were crucial for successful assembly. The app tells you there are 99 steps in the assembly, the instruction booklet calls it about 50, but either way this is definitely a complicated project. The entire gazebo was assembled by us, a 60-something couple with comprehensive construction and DIY experience, over several days by working only in the early mornings or late evenings due to 95+ degree weather. Working for only a couple of hours at a time worked well; right abut the time one of us would feel frustrated, it would be time to take a break due to the weather or darkness. As suggested, we took the time to first lay out all lumber pieces by part number under a canopy we set up next to the worksite. It was important to NOT lay the unattached wood pieces out in the sun due to potential warping from the intense summer sun. All hardware packages were organized on a table in numerical order to facilitate finding the exact item quickly, and we were careful to only open the corner of each bag to remove the fasteners to keep the rest from falling out and mixing together. There were a LOT of different fasteners, each precisely the right item for the application. We also kept the metal roof pieces in their shipping crate, under cardboard cover, until the moment of installation. This kept the protective plastic film from melting onto the metal, and kept the roofing from becoming too hot for us to handle. Yes, every metal piece had to have the film peeled off, but it was not difficult nor did it take more than a couple of minutes each. Other reviewers complained of misaligned holes, but if we found a hole did not line up during installation it generally indicated that we needed to do a better job of squaring up or leveling or pushing parts together. The included clamps were brilliant, and we used them not only where indicated in the instructions but also often to draw pieces together more tightly while bolting and screwing. Yes, assembly required patience, some carpentry skill, and strength. If you are the kind of person that can't follow the detailed instructions to assemble a 1000-piece Lego project, or does not have basic carpentry tools and a talented and patient partner to help, or cannot lift and hold 20 to 30 pounds over your head, then this may not be the project for you. But if you have help and can patiently follow the directions, you will be rewarded with a really nice gazebo in the end.

Love our gazebo! The pro assembly services that you can add to your purchase is well worth the extra $$! It took teo pros 10 hours to assemble our 12x16 gazebo.

At least two ladders needed. More than two people when putting the skeletal portion together and roof in place. Very helpful it was pre drilled and the holes matched up pretty much perfectly.

Awesome product! The Norwood was complete with all parts and no damage. A lot of work to put it up but with the help of our neighbors we were able to complete in a weekend.

Value for price, A+. Wood was square, hole punclnched and drilled to fit nicely together when assembled. Very happy. Assembly with directions about 11 hours with 2 people.

The gazebo was just what we wanted! It did require us to be organized in order for us to assemble it, plus we had 4 people to do the work. We assembled it in about 3 days. Looks great!

The end product is great, the only thing that would make it better is if it was made in USA. Definitely have a third person to lift roof panels up, it gets a little sketchy lifting that much weight on ladders.

We are obsessed with our new gazebo! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking. It was very time consuming to put together, but totally worth it. We are very, very happy with our purchase.
