This gazebo is everything we were hoping for. A great addition to our patio to enable us to sit out in the rain if desired and give us some shade during the heat of the summer. The instructions for assembly were easy to follow. I only required minimal assistance to steady the posts while attaching connecting boards and then to lift on the roof sections. Otherwise all can be done with one person. Quality is great and hope to enjoy it for many years!!

Very pleased with the finished product. Assembly was very straight forward and 2-3 people working together makes the project go very smooth. Very impressed with the engineering and the fitting of components. Instructions and illustrations were minimal but adequate.

I bought my gazebo almost a year ago. As a family we never went in the backyard, since we've purchased the gazebo the whole hangs out under the shade. From bbq,to listening to music, to my daughter doing her homework. The already installed electric power source comes in handy I've added lights to the gazebo and I am getting ready to install a TV for more backdoor fun. I recommend the gazebo and give it 5 stars.

Took longer to put together than the directions said but was still not bad. Was able to put a lot of sections together by myself and then got help to attach it all together. Was actually pretty easy. Hardest part was making sure the roof sections were square. It is up and beautiful. The wife is really happy and we will get many years of family use of the gazebo. Neighbors all love it and think it is awesome

Purchased and installed the 12X10 Brookdale gazebo last summer. Very pleased with shipping and quality of product. Live in North Dakota and it’s holding up well with the weather conditions. I have it bolted to a concrete slab and gazebo is very sturdy.

We just recently completed installing the Gazebo at our campsite. It's sturdy, looks amazing, and provides good shade! We love it!. Definitely requires attention to detail during assembly, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do the assembly. All you need is 2 - 3 people giving you a hand at certain points in the install and some patience.

The Gazabo is an ideal addition to our new backyard. It fits nicely and is both funtional and offers a classic setting. Set up was through step-by-step exercise. Placing roof on was a surprisingly easy exercise. Despite our windly weather the shelter has been sound. Wonderful addition to any patio.

This is a well built and good priced product. If you have any experience building things it’s a breeze to put together, but I do recommend having a couple of people to help along the way. I’m happy with the price and the quality is great. The only downsize I can think of is that the 6x6 posts aren’t actual posts. They are four boards put together and hollow in the middle. This does make them lighter and easier to handle though. If your looking for a everything included gazebo this is it. The only thing you have to outsource is concrete to bolt the whole structure too.

My mom had this shipped to her house. It comes in 5 very heavy boxes! I’m glad we did not have to pick it up at the store. The delivery company was good and kept us informed by email when they would be delivering it. We originally planned to put this together by ourselves. However, I read all the reviews and chickened out! I’m so glad we didn’t attempt this. There was no way we could have done this. There is a phone number on the box from “Go Configure” so my mom decided to pay for assembly. It was only $400, compared to the $500 price tag that showed if you ordered install at the same time as she ordered the gazebo. Today the 2 installers came to the house. Ladies and gentleman, they completed this install in 2.5 hours!!!! It is beautiful! I highly recommend you bite the bullet and pay for install. I think if my husband and I would have attempted it, we would have ended up killing each other!!! (Not to mention it would have taken up a week to put up!) Love this!!!!!

This Gazebo could have been built a lot faster if the hardware was a lot better and the small predrilled holes were easier to see. I had to work the bolts on and off the nuts numerous times before actually using them on the gazebo. It gets very annoying having to do that numerous times every step of the way. Other than these 2 problems the gazebo would have been fairly easy to put together
