The assembly of the product has very little tolerance for error and field conditions. Roof panels do not overlap with wide seams. I have a concern for when it rains that water will drip through the seams. Further the fact that the entire process requires assistance of others to install is a downfall in my opinion. Assembly of the roof in four units that each require lifting is not a good idea. The units are very heavy and lifting is awkward and not safe for a 16ft section. The roof should be considered to be assembled in place. Hardware is a low grade steel and should be replaced/ upgraded in key areas such as where the roof sections combine. Overall the unit has a nice look but could benefit from another person or review assembly by a single person.

This gazebo has exceeded all expectations! We love everything about it. It is absolutely beautiful-the wood and hardware are all top quality. It is a perfect place to escape the summer sun during the day, and it's lovely place to relax in during the evenings. Highly recommend!

I bought this last fall and I had the company install it. Which I'm glad I did. They were very efficient in getting the gazebo put up in a few hours. It would have taken me a couple days I'm sure. The gazebo is a perfect fit on my patio and it's a solid piece. My back yard is hammered with wind and it has stood up to the test. As I got it in the end of summer early fall it did great with blocking the sun. I can't wait to get back outside and just relax under it hen the weather breaks. I definitely recommend this gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A couple of neighbors and I put it together and really pleased with the way it went together and more importantly the way it looked after it was up. It looks great and I would absolutely recommend to my friends.

I've had the kit for a month or so and my wife and I have almost finished it! Weather, work, and vacations have held it up. The kit was well thought-out; all fasteners had extras, so no running out. There were a couple of areas (roof section assembly, for example) where the written instructions were a bit weak; the 3-d "bilt" program accessed through the website or instructions was very helpful in any areas where the printed material lagged behind. A very pretty structure which seems built to last!

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

We bought this gazebo last summer and it made it through a Wisconsin winter with no problems. Added some lights and a ceiling fan and it is our favorite spot to hang out. Assembly was a bit of a project and required 2 people but it was no more than expected given the size and weight of the gazebo. All pieces were accounted for and it went together quickly. I have no doubt this gazebo is going to last us years. I can't wait to finish the deck and railings in the same beautiful dark walnut stain, which is fairly easy to match.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this to our pool area as more of a place to sit out and enjoy when the weather got cooler. We've slept under it and sat out there when it's rained. We just love the quality and the value it's added to our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo was perfect for our backyard. My husband and I assembled the entire thing ourselves and just needed help from a few friends when lifting the roof sections on. We've had it up for about 6 months now and we still love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this gazebo assembled in a few weeks as it was a weekend project. The most difficult part to the assembly was getting the roof up. Prepare to have 3 people assist, because we were unable to do it with 2. Otherwise, assembly was pretty straight forward and it went together well. The gazebo is great in the summer. We installed a sun shade for those sunny evenings and you can sit under the gazebo almost any time of the day. The material is sturdy and well made. We are thinking about purchasing another one to use for the BBQ area.
