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.

This is the second product we have bought from them. my only complaint is that the app instructions will have instructions that the paper one doesn't. For example, when anchoring the gazbeo, the app tells you how big a hole you need to drill, but the paper ones do not.

I bought this a surprise for my wife a few months ago. She was looking at gazebos in stores and always wanted one. I saw this gazebo and never saw anything like it before! The size, sturdiness, and with outlet! So i purchased it along with professional builder plan to have it built for her as well. She was so surprised when she came home and it was already built (only took two installers a few hours). She couldn't believe how beautiful it looked, she told me that she has never seen anything like this in stores. Let me give you the most honest feedback…This gazebo exceeded all mine as well as her expectations! We have hosted a few family gathering and got do many compliments on it. I even referred a couple of family members to the website to purchase one because they loved it so much.

I bought this as a 50th Anniversary present to us. It was a Very Rough Year for my husband and I. I was diagnosed with breast cancer end of August and before I could plan my recovery, my husband and I got Covid and the day after Thanksgiving he had a stroke. There went my Caregiver! After 12rounds of Chemo and 20 rounds of radiation and 17 infusions which ended exactly one year our children put this beautiful Gazebo together for us before we headed down to Florida for the winter. We haven't had a chance to enjoy it yet but hope to do so starting this Spring. The kids had a few issues on the metal top but it all worked out.

Save yourself a lot of time and money and build your own. This is all cheap 1" wood. You have to spend an hour finding 5 different numbered boards, numerous numbered nuts and bolts, to bolt them all together to make what should be just a 2x6x14 to save them on shipping costs. Wood scratches and mars easily when assembling making it look terrible before it's even up. Sheet metal is cheap and thin and arrived dented. Nothing lines up like it's supposed to cheap 1" wood warped and bowed immediately after short, which took an hour to sort into numerical pikes of wood and hardware. I am amazed at all the 5 star reviews, they must be fake. I'm a contractor and could have bought nice redwood and sheet metal and been done eith my own in a two days. 6x6s are fake and hollow inside, pre drilled holes don't line up, metal sheets don't line up. This was a mistake.

The gazebo is beyond our expectations. My husband easily put it together over a weekend and only needed a few friends to help when it came time to “raise the roof.” Between the printed instructions and the app called “Bilt” he didn't have any trouble at all. It is a great space for our large family to relax in the shade or to listen to the rain on the metal roof. We love our gazebo. It's well worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought and assembled this Gazebo in the middle of summer. I did the vast majority of the assembly by myself. I just need help lifting the four roof sections to the top of gazebo. My Dad and My son also helped me remove all the blue plastic that was protecting all the roof sheet metal parts. That would have taken me an extra day if I had to do that on my own. It is very sturdy. We also added an indoor-outdoor fan to the top of the gazebo. We also added lights and mounted a TV with an outdoor cover. The only think I can say negative about this gazebo, is that it really needs gutters. If we have rain and it is windy too, everything under the gazebo still gets soaked.

I bought this gazebo last summer ( 2022 ) and it has surpassed our expectations completely. Hard rains with 60+ mph winds, Snow sitting on it for a month plus and it hasn't budged. Its not even bolted down. We added a ceiling fan, Tv with drop down mount and all the accent lights. My wife loves it and if she is happy , then I am happy. The installation from Goconfigure was awesome. They showed up on time and I was ecpecting it would take a solid day with 2 guys to build it. Nope, about 4 hours. They knew what they were doing. Well worth the money for both the gazebo and the headache of installing it. I'd do it again 100x . I did my research when it came to a gazebo that would last. After all of the wicked weather we have had in the last 8 months it still looks like its brand new. Cant say enough!!!

We wanted to add a 'kitchen' area to our backyard pool deck. We saw the Cordova Gazebo at Sam's Club and it looked great. We ordered it and it arrived very quickly (quicker than estimated). I was able to construct the main frame and the roof segments myself and then had a friend come over to lift them into place. All the components lined up and fitted well. I added some lights strings and fitted my own Z-Wave light switches controlled by Alexa. I didn't use the supplied power outlet as it was just a power strip in a box and I wanted something more permanent and robust. I painted some electrical conduit and outlets black to match the Gazebo hardware and it looks very professional.

Bought the gazebo last spring and enjoyed it all summer. Fast forward to spring 2025 and a EF2s tornado came through. Uprooted all our large oak and hickory trees but our gazebo stood tall and strong. Not a scratch. I can't reccommend this product enough.
