Only four stars because I would think that pieces in a kit would be cut with more precision. You will need a sander to fix the poorly cut pieces. Other boards vary in width and there is no fixing those since the larger width is correct but the defects can be hidden in the final product by the choices you make when assembling it. The gazebo is sturdy and a welcome relief from the sun. It has not yet been through all 4 seasons so I will add to this when it does if there are any changes.

I have to say that my Yardistry Meridian Gazebo has exceeded all of my expectations. It is a quality product that was not too difficult to assemble and is very beautiful. It’s substantial, sturdy & in my opinion a thoughtful & strong design. Paired with our Yardistry mosquito netting is a beautiful addition to our outdoor living area.

I installed this pergola last August, 2022. I was truly impressed with great thoughtful reviews submitted and fair pricing. We had extensive experience on hand to install the pergola and followed the instructions to the T! Like others we installed the pergola in one full day. It’s a great looking structure for our newly landscaped yard however definitely faults in wood selected. Now we’re going to have to use filler on all the gaps and stain. Time we won’t get back there. Unlike your feedback to other comments, many of the wood splitting are not located anywhere near where the screws are drilled in (see photos). Recommendation to Yardistry: Ensure Quality Assurance really takes a good look at the structural pillars used for this product. Now I’m crossing fingers in hopes that our efforts to get longevity works.

What an amazing Gazebo for the price. Great looking addition to my backyard. this was a really fun project to assemble instructions were great and all the hardware is there. also customer service was excellent when I requested a few replacement parts.

We purchased this item, very much dreading putting it together. What a shock, everything labeled correctly. Step by step instructions. Well built, sturdy and not as hard to put up as I thought. Looks great in our backyard, we have a firepit in the middle with our patio furniture around. Well worth the money

I have a large yard with a pool and gorgeous mountain views! This Gazebo makes it look even more impressive. Everyone that has seen it loves it! Very good quality with all the parts were there to put it together! It is a very time consuming project. I'm sure we could do a second one in half the time but don't think your'e going to get it done in one weekend. Luckily I spent 1/2 a day before help arrived just unpacking it and getting all the plastic off the roof pieces.

Easy to assemble and good to as a foundation to customize to my specific needs. I turned the Gazebo into a small pool house. Equipped with a kitchen including a gas stove, sink, and fridge. Even a small bathroom and a roll down gate to enclose the bar opening.

Purchased in March 2020 and installed in May. We are pleased with the product and hopeful that it will remain as beautiful as it is now. Initially it took three people to erect until we came to the roof and its installation. Made some minor comments regarding the instructions but overall satisfied. It is a beautiful addition to our deck.

A nice outdoor space! I purchased in spring of 2021 and enjoyed it up until we purchased our now home in early 2023. I enjoyed it lol so much I do plan to purchase again for our current outdoor space. I know the current owners are enjoying it. It also fit our bulky patio furniture perfectly. Being in the North with all 4 seasons the color held up nicely. Excellent purchase!

The directions for the most part are easy to read and the assembly is fairly easy to put together. Why I give this a 3 star is because the roofing panels, all the side strips, well anything that is aluminum has a sticky plastic film on them. The assembly took 2 people about 8 hours until we got to pulling the sticky film off. That so far has taken us 6 hours.. My fingers hurt, I am cut up, elbows are raw from leaning on this roofing panel all day and how bad is this for the environment. If I had known that this film was on the aluminum panels I may have gotten the client to go with another company.
