We bought this a little over a month ago and couldn't be happier. Everything about this gazebo is above and beyond expectations. To begin with it is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing in our space. The quality is outstanding, It is made solid cedar and the craftsmanship is excellent. we had it installed on a16x18 slab with the angled roof it fits nicely under the soffits of the house. We also feel that this was a excellent value. This will add beauty to our backyard for many years to come

This is our second gazebo to build at two different locations and it was a great experience. My wife and I (61 and 58 years old) assembled the gazebo by ourselves. We had our neighbor help with the 14foot roof panels, but we did everything else by ourselves. It was straightforward with the instructions. Just take your time. It helps to have the right tools, drills, etc. to assemble. The quality of the wood is great. And there are plenty of extra bolts and screws for future repairs or needs. If you enjoy DIY projects, this is a fun one to build.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo is beautiful. The quality of workmanship excellent. And best of all it came with easy to follow instructions and every pre drilled hole was exactly where it was supposed to be and add to that every screw bolt nut etc was there. We love it.

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 bought this several months ago and assembling it a little at a time. The roof panels are going to be a challenge without at least three people. The instructions are very good--No problems with assembly. We put a couple coats of sealer on to further protect the wood.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking gazebo! I built the whole project myself using only the instructions supplied. I did download the video, but the instructions were good enough to complete the project. The project is forgiving enough that you don't have to be exact on your measurements or squareness, but the closet you are, the easier it will go together for you. I poured four concrete pads for the legs and got those nice and level and I made them 24 inches square and that have me plenty of room to make adjustments to the awareness of the base once I started the assembly of all the component pieces. I would recommend at least two helpers when putting the roof pieces up because they were too awkward for me to get them in place by myself. My only complaint is that one piece of structure was damaged by a tomorrow fork, but it turned out to be hidden once the project was completed and I didn't have to wait on getting a replacement part. Overall, great looking gazebo at a fair price! I'm glad it is finished and we can enjoy it. It took me about a month to finish it from sight prep to completion, but I did work alone on 95% of it, so a helper would save you a lot of time.

My husband is quite handy so he decided to build a similar structure from scratch. When I saw this on display at our Sam's Club, I brought him back to take a look because I loved it and it was a larger size than we thought we could afford. He was impressed with the truss system and all around durability.... After some comparison analysis, we bought the Cordova for far less than it would have taken my him to build. Not to mention the time this kit saved us from having to find the lumber and hardware, and then having to cut, stain, and assemble! I got what I wanted in a quick and easy weekend project, and my husband was thrilled at this being real a time saver for him!! It is a perfect relaxing place along side our firepit!! We are getting so many compliments on this sturdy attractive gazebo!!!

I originally gave a very poor review of this gazebo. Upon completion I'll bump it up to 3 stars. It does look nice once assembled. Assembly is a pain especially considering extra assembly is required to save them on shipping costs. Removing blue stickers from metal was a nightmare and the large amount of 1" lumber warped in the heat. All in all assembly wasn't the worst and it looks nice.

This gazebo is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. We love the charm and warmth of the cedar. The only downside was the company hired to erect the gazebo (recommended by Backyard Discovery) did not secure it to the patio. They cited 'liability' issues. We had to do it ourselves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kit was complete and had extra parts for the hardware and fasteners. The Directions were in two languages, the important one for me being "English"! It took three men to perform the roof install as you needed to be about %' 10" or taller. I am a semi professional modeler and am used to hard to follow Building directions...these we hard to follow. Study the pictures very closely, every little detail tells a story of assembly. It helps if more than one person look at the directions. But we figured it out! The attached picture shows the final outta the box Gazebo! I put Clear Large Christmas Lights around the inside roof edge for subdued night lighting and it looks great! Am going to buy for set of "magnetic screening" panels that can be let down or tied back to control breeze and some direct sunlight as well as bugs. I recommend a good buy. If the directions were more clear it woulda been a "Five Star" product!
