I bought this almost 2 months ago and had it in my garage until the deck was finished to bolt it onto my deck. It finally was built and I LOVE it!!! It is such a sturdy piece and great quality! It took 2 days to put up with 2-3 people working on it, with my husband on top of the roof at times, so if you are less mobile, I would recommend paying the extra to have it built.

I purchased it for my husband for his birthday and he had to put it together! Happy Birthday!! But anyways the bolts need to be rethreaded and a lot of the holes did not line up. It estimates it should take 8-10 hours, but it was more than double.

Its beautiful and super sturdy. It came with some nicks through transport but nothing i couldnt through some stain on. Thing is a statement piece in my backyard now. Its better than how the pictures can show it. And def better than what you can get at any hardware store. You wont be sad.

Looks great. I chose option to have it installed. It took about 3 weeks for us to coordinate dates for install. It only took 3 hours for installation. Pretty sure it would have taken much longer if we had tried to install ourselves. After reading the instructions on what needs to happen for installation, I saw that they do not remove trash, but at first I was surprised by this. Overall, I am very happy.

I did a lot of online research before buying the Backyard Discovery gazebo. I was very happy with my choice. It is very good quality and had a good price compared to others on the market. It did take much longer to assemble than described and you really need 3 adults most of the time.

It’s a lot of time and effort to put together but the end result is worth it. Took about 12 hours over 4 days with help. My issue was the same as others.....hardware, particularly the long threaded bolts. Having to manipulate the majority of them to get to work. Besides that no problems it’s just a lot of parts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is beautiful & very well made. Very solid construction. My only "beef" with this is 2 of the cedar boards came to us cracked (we had to nail them back together) and the cedar boards which hold the top ridge together were very warped (I had to join them with c-clamps). Instructions were good & simple to follow.

But this a month or so ago it is up and we absolutely love it. I'm only giving it a four because putting it together is an absolute challenge. It's very difficult to put together the instructions are not clear. You have to read very very small print to make sure that you have everything exactly together. The bolt and screws do not fit together well so we had to buy additional ones. However once we finally got it put together we love it and it's perfect

We purchased it and hauled it home ourselves. Easy online instructions or easy to follow written instructions included. It did take longer than 8 hours and 2 guys to put up. It took about 16 hours and 2-3 guys. Missing 2 pieces but called the manufacturer. They were very nice and helpful . They sent the 2 pieces Fed Ex, which arrived in about 4 days. This is a quality piece and a great price. Would highly recommend.

We bought this to give us a little shade from the summer heat and to have an outdoor place to hang out with our friends and family. It looks sturdy and looks very nice on our porch. My only issue was we paid for this to be installed and had a lot of screws and pieces left after he was finished. So maybe you might want to find someone else for the install. other than that we love it !
