[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Backyard gazebo is well built, definitely needs at least 3 people to put together. Watch the video!!!! Makes the instructions make sense!! I shopped around and this gazebo is solid wood, built to last and the perfect piece for our backyard!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While installation took maybe an hour more than expected, the installers did a great job. Well anchored, it's very sturdy. Covered power strip a plus. We've added patio lights , a bamboo shade, and hanging heaters m. We expect to add clear tarps to block the winter wind. We use our gazebo everyday.

This is an extremely well engineered item. I was contemplating building a gazebo from blueprints but I opted to get the Cordova. I was expecting to sacrifice some quality for the reduced amount of time that I would have to spend assembling and constructing it. What a surprise! The quality of this unit far exceeds my expectations. It is really a fantastic unit and worth every penny.

This installment was easy. Took some time due to weather constraints, but we were able to accomplish the gazebo with no issue. Mind you, it does take some arm work for other tasks when accomplishing the big post and framing structure part of it. As for the roofing, that also took someone with longer arms than normal, if that person is available. I'm 5'7” so anyone can do this!!!

My husband and 2 friends took a day to put together this pergola. It came out beautiful, and it's exactly what we wanted! We live on the water, and it's heavy materials shouldn't be a problem with strong winds. Love it and can't wait for summer cocktails poolside under it!

The gazebo is beautiful. I have received a lot of compliments on it. The built in power strip is a great feature. It has held up through some pretty intense storms so far. The dimensions do make it difficult to find netting to go around it. I was trying to find something to keep mosquitos out but no luck. I did purchase set up with the gazebo and that was a real pain. It took quite a long time to get someone out and I had to call back and forth several times with the company they use. If you can put it up yourself or know of a company who can I would use them instead. I was pretty frustrated with that situation. My gazebo sat in boxes for at least a month after having it delivered because they couldn't get anyone out to set it up.

I bought this to add to our concrete patio by our pool, have had so many compliments after hosting 2 party's so far. The shade is perfect for most of the day, until the sun moves down further. I bought a sun shade and installed that to the side for additional shade towards the end of the day. Gazebo can be installed in 1 day if you have at least 5-6 helping and a couple of people that know what they are doing. Organizing wood pieces and hardware is a must for smooth installation if doing yourself. Overall very solid wood structure, a few wood pieces were delivered warped with a small bend but they still installed and worked fine. Would recommend and consider buying another one in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my gazebo for its durability and great looks. As soon as it went up people have been stopping by to get a better look. I have it lakeside with a fire pit near by. It's been a grat place for neighborhood gatherings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We LOVE our gazebo!! We have been looking for something for the back patio to make it a more useable area and this worked out perfect!! We put guttering on the side of it that meets with the house so when it rains, we have a completely dry walkway out onto the patio. I can't say enough good things about it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MY wife and i had a poorly constructed pergola over an aging deck when we bought our home 3.5 years ago. We decided to have the deck replaced and found this Cordova gazebo would be perfect for shade. The hip roof design gives it a more premium look. WE also love the power box with 3 ac outlets and 3 USB power ports. Although we haven't had the opportunity to use it much due to weather but the quality of materials is outstanding, especially for a kit.
