I am so happy that I did purchase this item. You have to go slow while putting the gazebo together to make sure the holes line up correctly. There are a couple of areas that needed an extra hole drilled. But other than that I would purchase this gazebo again and recommend it to others. Sincerely, Michelle Dimitro

I bought this through my online access to Sam's Club for a holiday discount. The item arrived in great shape.. The packaging was the best I had seen for an item in a very long time.. It was a bit daunting to put together but my wife and I did in a single day in the Texas heat and it fit together great.. Neighbors already taking pictures of what we put up..

Great shipment in two cartons...took six guys four hours to assemble...once we assembled it, lag-bolted it down to our wooden deck, we put the mosquito netting on....problem, only five netting hangers on each side were included...netting takes 10 hangers on each of the four sides...

I read the comments prior to buying. The best advice given was to just snug the bolts, don't tighten until it is completely fabricated. Doing that made it very easy to line up holes if some movement was needed. The instructions were adequate if you read them first (always recommended!) and figured out what you were supposed to do first, and took your time. I prefabbed whatever I could and everything went together just fine. Very solid construction once you go around and tighten everything once it is all together - don't over tighten. It was packed well - no damage - delivered on time - looks great. My wife loves it, well worth the money. It took me a about 16 hours total, by myself, with a little help from my wife with the main frame. I wasn't in a hurry.

I love this gazebo and it looks great in the yard. I would give it 5 stars but it was a pain to assemble because one of the roof supports was shorter than the others by 3/8" so was a nightmare to jimmy-rig it together. Must have been a defective part. Other than that, we are enjoying it!

This product comes in one very large and heavy box. Definitely need help to move it around. Packaged very nicely and very securely. Assembly takes time and the instructions can be a bit confusing. Found myself having to go back and redo a few things because the instructions were not clear. You can definitely tell that someone in China was trying to translate the English instructions. This took about 10 hours to assemble and seems very sturdy. Nice value. Hope it holds up to time.

The gazebo arrived sooner than expected. There was some damage to the boxes but everyone inside was fine thanks to metal crates that are inside to provide protection. Set up with 2 people took 8 hours. The panels on the roof do not fit perfectly flush. The instructions were straight forward and the app was a nice touch. Works great to provide shade and privacy for the hot tub. The netting was a nice plus since other companies charge extra for this feature. It would be nice if they netting had a blackout curtain option, I added curtains to the netting for extra privacy and coverage. The gazebo is heavy and seems sturdy. All in all this was a great value compared to other options.

Bought this about a week ago. Came in one box which made it difficult to handle as it’s very heavy! Took my husband and me 4 days to put together. Lots of pieces! You will need a power drill at the very least, to get this together. Husband had to use the drill and dremel to make some of the holes bigger for bolts to go in.

First, I want to say I really do love this. It's beautiful, seems incredibly well built/sturdy and I believe I will be pleased with it for many years. I gave it four stars for two reasons. 1. The assembly was tricky due to several pre-drilled holes that were not aligned for proper mounting - they were off by about 3 inches. We ended up having to drill our own holes with self-tapping screws to secure these pieces. Also several of the welds broke on the bolt holes causing it to just spin when turning the bolt. Last, one piece was damaged (looks like it was maybe crushed during shipping) but we were able to use pliers to reshape it and it was functional (and not visible since it was an upper roof part). 2. The way the netting fits in the corners is just poorly designed. Because it hooks on the inside of the frame the hooks are on either side of the corner with nothing in the corner pulling the net against the corner so it is leaving a large gap which will easily allow bugs in. I also think the netting design around the upper section (roof) is poor and will do little to keep bugs out. But we will see. I've only had it up 24 hours. Overall hubby and I assembled this in 3 days (only a few hours each day after work) so roughly 8-10 hours in total.

Had to return this item. As we were putting it together we got to a part where these thick metal plates had been pre-drilled and NONE of the holes lined up with the holes they were supposed to go into on the other pieces. Sad because we really liked the look of this item, but whoever is fabricating it is not doing a very good job. I even remember reading another review of this same issue.
