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!!!!!

I have been truly enjoy my gazebo. Save me thousands of dollars by not having one built that is attached to my house. Installation took about 2 days. I did 90% alone. The main thing I needed help with was setting the first vertical section and the roof. Overall very satisfied,

It has now been a year since we installed the Brookdale gazebo in our small yard. Not only has it extended our living space outdoors, transformed the look of our yard and makes our outdoor living space more functional, but it also withstood a rather treacherous winter. It looks as good today as it did a year ago when we installed it!

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.

Very nice, looks just like the picture. Sturdy. Not crazy about the person that came and assembled it though, we just noticed one of the legs is crooked and we found screws on the ground that probably should have been used. All in all it's a very nice gazebo.

I did a lot of research on gazebo kits and found that my 12x10 Backyard Discovery package was the best choice. I did have a small glitch with the parts supplied but Backyard Discovery customer service took care of this quickly! I am extremely pleased with this gazebo and now, nine months later, it still looks new. Thanks guys!

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

We got this for our "party pad" and could not be happier! Overall quality is great for the price, especially when you look at other products on the market. My brother in law and boss are already looking at purchasing because of the quality and experience we had. Took 2 days to put together and it is helpful to have at least 3 adults to get the roof on, but it was well worth the time and we are already using it. We built a 8 ft table to put under it just to give you an idea of size.

Love our gazebo! Our daughter had purchased one and we saw how well made it is...had to get one for ourselves and so glad that we did! So attractive! Looking forward to the warm weather to just relax and not have to worry about the sun directly on us!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful gazebo and looks great out on the concrete pad we had poured. Well built structure and we had this assembled by the contractor who poured the pad. Although it came with an electric hookup I wired the gazebo and included additional plug receptacles and USB ports for outside use. The kit does come with a link for building the structure and a nice instruction manual and 800 number for any questions. We are very pleased with this structure and it was worth the cost and fits our needs. It is solid, has protection on the footings but you will have to purchase anchors for the feet of you plan to secure it to a concrete pad, which isn’t a big deal. Some helpful tips - the roof section or ladder piece will require two people to push it up into place and one man up on a ladder to secure it into position. The metal roof pieces come with a plastic protective film, so keep this box cool and out if the sun so that the plastic doesn’t bake onto the metal surface. Electric - the electric is basically a plug & use system. In other words, if you do not have an outlet nearby you will need to run an extension cord to the gazebo and plug it in to the wiring that is provided with the kit. I opted to run electric underground through half inch conduit to power the lights and receptacles that I installed. The lower portion of the support columns on the gazebo are hollow. This will allow you to run the conduit up into the leg and conceal it completely. You will have to drill an access hole for a receptacle. The columns are at least 2 inches thick and there is a built-in solid portion at the top for the structural integrity of the gazebo. This is a beautiful gazebo, structurally sound and you won’t be disappointed by purchasing it!
