This item has been a treasure. We spend so much more time outdoors and provides us with shade and light rain protection. Can store chairs and tables without covers and is made with solid wood and other materials. One bad feature....I do not get as much work done inside..love the outdoors!

Just finished the build , took all of 4 days . I give it a 4 star rating because it took 2 days to get the plastic off of the metal parts. the instructions are clear , diagrams are great . It even tells you when you need to have 4 people for some assembly. Great! The plastic coating was brutal! i would have help but they would only help for a short time and get frustrated and stop. Once removed pretty much an inch at a time it left glue residue all over the metal which we had to scrub with chemicals to remove. I had to leave some plastic inside as the metal as the metal was molded with the coating already on and I just couldn't get it off. I spent from noon until 8 one day and from 9-6 the next just removing the coating. It definitely took away from the project. I enjoyed the rest of the project. all the wood was in great condition and the Gazebo is a great addition to our yard.

While had a lovely wood deck and a pretty pergola, the deck needed constant maintenance and the pergola did not keep out rain, bugs, debris and pollen. We replaced this with a large stone patio and a large 12’x20’ Meridian Gazebo! We also purchased the mesh zippered mosquito netting, and I can say that this netting keeps out rain too! We had electricity brought up to the gazebo and have 4 receptacles, and even added a ceiling fan with a light. Now we can enjoy a comfy time under the gazebo, rain or shine. Love, love, love the new look and functionality of our patio!

We bought this a few weeks ago and are very happy with the outcome. It looks great in our backyard and we are looking forward to enjoy it in the weeks and years to come. Watching videos were key in the assembling process. Although there was a damaged part in one of the boxes, customer service was very helpful and quick in sending a replacement.

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 bought two of these gazebos because I love the way they look. However, within the first 4 months parts started to crack and split and the issue was growing. I emailed Yardistry and they replaced several of the pieces under their warranty. They were a bit of a pain to replace but it worked out in the end, and Yardistry was pleasant to deal with. I live in Southern California which is typically hot and dry but that year was atypically very wet and we went through several cycles of wet and then hot. I'm sure this didn't help the product even though the parts were treated. In the end, I would buy them again. As a side note, several of the pieces came warped, don't tighten the bolts until you have a lot of the product already together or it can be difficult to assemble.

I love this gazebo! It was easy to assemble and put up, as long as you follow the directions properly and view the helpful videos. I installed lighting and added a color matched gutter system that makes the gazebo pop! We always get compliments when friends and family come over...

We purchased our 12 x 12 gazebo this past spring and had it erected in two days. The idea was to give us year round use of our spa, which living in Oregon, can be a real test with cool, rainy winter evenings and hot sunny summer days. This Yardistry building went together well, according to the plans, and looks just beautiful, adding a lot to the looks of our small back yard. We couldn't have asked for any more to accomplish our goals of getting a useful, yet beautiful and durable shelter for our spa. By adding outdoor curtains, we can close it up during inclement weather or open it up to gorgeous spring & summer days. We love our Yardistry structure. It's one of the best investments we've made!

We got this for my wife for Mother's Day. Our daughter ended up getting married in it last week. It was a fun project for me. Instructions are very good, you need to pay attention to the details. Overall good quality and a good value. We are very satisfied.

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.
