This has only been up a few days. Product packaging was great, nothing damaged and no missing parts. You definitely need 2-3 people to assemble. Heaviest lift is the roof sections. All of the pre drilled holes lined up very well with only a few exceptions. Quality of wood and assembly brackets are very good. I can see why this has an excellent wind rating.

This piece is beautiful but took a long time to assemble. The instructions could have been a little more helpful instead of minimal pictures. Overall it was a good experience putting it together with my family in town! It's something we will cherish.

Got a quote from a contractor for a 10x10 gazebo and was quoted $14,000+. We found this and for the price it was worth a try. There were some very slight imperfections on the wood when arrived (from shipping co.). I was able to assemble mostly everything myself. Lifting the roof panels definitely requires 3 people and ladders for each. We bought this as part of building our dream outdoor kitchen. We've had the gazebo for 9 months now through rain and wind and blasting sun, and it still looks brand new. We are very happy with the purchase and for the price you can't beat it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love our new gazebo and look forward to many wonderful family gatherings and cookouts. It is a very well made quality product that I would happily recommend to anyone looking to buy a gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we first decided to install a gazebo a few months ago, we did our research thoroughly and decided on the Cordova Gazebo for style, strength and stability. We were not disappointed! The overall experience and completed result was amazing. It has since provided comfort, relaxation and a place for our family to enjoy being outdoors. The installation was simple and we had no issues. We added lighting, fan, blinds and seamless gutters to match. Thank you Backyard Discovery for a wonderful product.

I bought this a few weeks ago and we are in love with it. Our back deck is all sun and it is too hot to spend time out there. We bought a few cheaper quality gazebos that didn't last and decided to get a high quality one this year. We were highly impressed on the quality. Delivery updates were provided and it was delivered on time. The delivery persons were courteous and handled everything professionally. The directions are very clear, the parts are well labeled, extra screws are provided if you drop or lose one and it was overall easy to put together. We were concerned about putting on the roof pieces, that they would be too heavy-but they were not. My husband and I were able to lift them into place easily. We needed to contact the company regarding an error my husband made with the screws. Customer service was great and they put the screws in the mail promptly. This is a company that stands behind their product!! I would recommend this product to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assembled this by myself, with the exception of lifting the finished roof panels up at the final stage. It was a few hours a day, for 4-5 days to get the job done, and the instructions were very clear. There was an appropriate amount of extra fasteners provided - if you drop a washer or two, it's ok - there are a few extra. The finished product looks great, and has been a great addition to our new back patio and fireplace.

ALL components are well labeled and easily identifiable. Even the metal roof components are film covered to keep it protected until installation. I think removing the film is the actual hardest part, patience is needed, but you figure out tricks as you go along. Assembling sections on a painter's tarp will help minimize scratches and scuffs to wood finish. One main builder and an extra set of hands can complete the project, but a couple extra sets always helps speed things up. Great investment, because after anchoring it, it is SOLID!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes definitely more than one day to put together. Loved the pre-drilled holes. Remodified the roof trim to underneath the tin roofing instead of over the top. Pieces of lumber need to be marked a little better. Though now that it is complete it adds more appeal to our yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my dream Oasis. I wanted a place to heal and meditate. Everyone who has seen this design loves. We had concrete poured in the front yard. The contractors wished they had one. I would recommend the gazebo and Backyard Discovery.
