We purchased this last summer & really enjoy having shelter from the sun & rain. The electric is nice to have for lights, phones, blender, etc. It was a LOT of parts, but the video was very helpful & we just took our time. We stained all the boards before we started.

They have not underestimated the time to put this together. I did it myself, only using help to get the roof panels lifted on. There were several pieces of wood with large cracks and one of the roof support pieces was split. Fixed with wood glue and screws. The instructions were pretty good, needed to play close attention to the orientation of every piece. Very important. This took me an entire weekend to assemble and dig and pour footings

Bought as a anniversary surprise for my husband. He was floored at the craftsmanship of this gazebo. Although we chose to stain it white to match the trim of our home. We put lots of lights through out the ceiling and a beautiful rattan ceiling fan. It’s such a gorgeous addition to our pool area. I see us getting many years of great memories under the beauty of this gazebo. If thinking of buying DO IT! It was really simple to assemble with 4 adults

The wife and I put this together. It was amazing how precise the pieces fit together and how the holes all lined up. All the pieces were there and fasteners too. For the most part, pretty simple but you will have you some muscles as you erect the frame and put the roof on.

We've had lots of flimsy gazebo things get ruined too quickly due to high wind and weather. This one was constructed over the weekend and has more brackets, nuts and bolts and support structure than any we've had before. Parts were many but instructions were easy enough to follow. It looks great and we plan on enjoying it for many years to come!

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.

A bit overwhelming when you first unpack it all. I think the fascia boards should have be one piece. Not sure this is for the "novice" do it yourselfers, the BILT app was a great reference, although the manual was very detailed and accurate... over all very happy with how it turned out, great addition to the yard

We have had the gazebo for close to a year now and it’s amazing! We live in the northeast and it’s withstood the winter snow. It’s a beautiful design that’s literally added living space to our house. We use it all the time. Assembly was not bad! Highly recommend

Based on the specs provided I hired a contractor to put cement tubes four feet in the ground. The assembly people are awesome but the structure is two inches too wide. So I'm going to have to hire the contractor again to pour concrete slabs and reschedule the assembly. Mean while it's half way built laying in my yard. Doesn't seem like the company is going to reimburse me for extra costs. Not impressed. It's a nice product. Just don't follow the blueprints.

On the out side of the box, it indicated the measurement is10x12. I had Contrators lay a 10x12 concrete foundation. It took 2 service guys and 6 hours to put the gazebo together. Finally , after all said and done. It measured 8x10. It’s smaller than the concrete. But! It looks very nice in my backyard.
