The Gazebo did take longer than stated, but that is to be expected with the amount of hardware that is needed to put this together. It was difficult to see the numbers on the boards with the darker stain, but by process of elimination, we were able to figure it out. The customer service has been fantastic and both agents I have spoken to about stain have been absolutely accommodating and wonderful. Thank you.

happy that I bought this a month ago. Just need to see how it does when it rains. Has been able to do very well with the winds. The 4 ridge pieces should hold but we will see with time. The quality of the material was good but had problems with some of the pieces being under/over length. some of the pieces were warped. Had a delay on one of the 12' roof panels that cost me some time to erect and money for a worker that came out of town. All in all once I received the right size pieces the hole thing when up without a problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to provide shade on our back patio and have gotten so many compliments from neighbors. It looks amazing and we love the electricity running to it as we enjoyed football games outside!

We are incredibly satisfied with not only how the Cordova looks on our pool deck, but how sturdy this gazebo it is as well. It took a while to put together, but instructions were straight forward and packed well. We went back and forth about having one built, but decided to go with this one after a suggestion from a friend and we couldn't be more happy! We look forward to many gatherings...

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

We purchased and assembled last summer. Very nice structure. Assembly was not the easiest but the instructions were clear and easy to read. Would recommend having several tall, strong people for assembly. Especially to lift the roof pieces into place.

We have had trouble finding a nice gazebo to put on our deck. Where we live, we tend to have wind even when it is not a windy day. Last month, we had a wind storm with gusts up to 75 miles per hour. This gazebo is still standing. Not only is this gazebo very durable with weather, it is very beautiful to look at. We are very happy with our purchase. Putting the gazebo together could be a challenge for some. Basically you are building this yourself except everything is already cut and drilled to put together. Directions are very good and all the pieces had holes drilled correctly. It will take at least 3 people to install the roof. Expect to take more than one day to put this together. We have no complains with our purchase of this gazebo. I would recommend this for its beauty and durability.

Our new gazebo has turned out to be the perfect gathering spot for coffee in the morning, pizza or barbecue on the weekends, or just for hanging out and enjoying our garden. Adding a few amenities to the already perfect and beautiful gazebo has made it even more enjoyable. We added shades to block the sunlight, string lights to light up the evenings, a speaker to listen to music, a hammock to nap, a fan with a light, a thermometer, and a bottle opener. Our desert oasis sits on top of decorative patio pavers. It was a great purchase and a wonderful addition to our back yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I looked at a few cheaper options, but I am so happy to have spent a bit more and got a quality gazebo. The thing is a tank. I was impressed that all the pieces were marked and the directions were easy to follow. I would buy other products form Backyard Discovery.

We installed this towards the end of the season so we did not hook up the electric or the lights we purchased. There wasn't a lot of opportunity to use the gazebo before the weather turned cold but we were very pleased with the brief time we did get to use it. We had it installed by a local service and there is a small leak coming through the roof which is probably more of an installation issue than a product issue. Hopefully it's an easy fix. We are looking forward to enjoying the shade it will provide on our deck. It looks great and is very attractive.
