I love it but it took me around 25hr to set it up, didn't have much help. A MUST have to set up my backyard discovery was a 5/16-18 tap and die to clean up the threads on the nuts and bolts. Lucky I had a 5/16 drill bit 12 inches long to clean up and reline the pre-drilled holes on the 4x4. I needed to reline some other holes a basic 5/16 bit worked fine. You will need one more person to help. Three people total would be great. If you know how to work with wood and have the tools it's not that bad. I would do some things differently next time I build one. I would not secure the brace to the legs until it was up on all four legs, use a level to make sure the legs are level then secure the brace and I would use longer and better screws for the frame of the roof.

We bought this last week, so this is an early review which I can update after it lives outside for a bit. After reading the reviews and seeing the cedar, we decided to clear seal/protect all the wood in the kit. ALL is a lot of wood!! I did this task and painted each side of every piece of cedar two times. It took a gallon of sealant and about 6 hours! I wish this came pre treated!! If you don’t do this your cedar will grey in weeks, there is nothing pre done to the wood. For the price you spend on this we thought it worth our investment to make it last! My husband then did all the building, solo. He’s very handy so I wasn’t worried. The bolts are annoying, he needed a can of wd40 on hand to grease them up as they are all painted and the threads were tight from the paint. He wished he could have just used his own nail gun and screws and would have been faster, but he got it done! You need to take your time and love on those Darn factory screws. He did have a large post that the holes were mid aligned, and had to “fix this” so watch out it’s not always perfect. I however did give this 4 stars. Why? It does need the prep work of you want it to last and the screws can make you go crazy! But the cedar is not fake, the decorative hardware is lovely and once built it looks so fantastic! I’ll update as it weathers but I just love it!!

We are happy with the Gazebo! My husband and I are both over 60 and we were able to construct the gazebo ourselves, needing only one other person to help elevate the ends. There is an instruction book included, which we found more helpful than the app. Always check with your delivery service to make sure you are scheduled.

I took advantage of the special 1 day sale they had they featured this gazebo for $ 1299.00. I gotta say it’s worth it. It looks incredible in my back yard all my neighbors are coming out and quiver with envy. I wish I can show off a pix on here totally satisfied

Absolutely beautiful! Looks so awesome I’m our yard and get so many compliments.
