I recommend following the electronic instructions as that illustrates best how things go and speeds up assembly. As far as the gazebo, I love it and more importantly, so does my wife. It is sturdy and attractive. The netting will be a nice feature for when bugs are more prominent. All in all, we are very pleased with this gazebo and recommend it.

I have another great product from Sam's Club. When it was delivered I couldn't believe my eyes when the BIG box (almost 400 pounds) was completely intact. There was a few dings here and there. I took off the lid and was shocked to find a steel frame that incased the gazebo parts. The instructions were on top which I read before I started the assembly. I laid everything out according to the numbers. We (it takes two to do it right) started in the am and finished in the pm. All the parts were there and all the bolts. There were extra in case you needed them. The quality of the metal was strong and fit together like a glove. I liked the hand tightening of the bolts first which meant no striping and then going back and using a wrench ( 2 supplied) to tighten the rest of the way. After we finished the assembly we stood back and looked at each other and almost in unison said "did we do that!". I look forward to spending my quiet times for many years to come in my Alameda Gazebo mosquito free.

This is the second gazebo we have bought from Sam's Club. The first one held up so well during the Ohio winter that we decided to get another one since out patio area was big enough for two. Fairly easy to put together needing a second person only a few times.

I have never received a better packaged product. The packaging designer deserves 5 stars for this alone. The parts were well labeled as well as well packaged. I would recommend 2 people to assemble the gazebo. The assembly suffers only from a couple of ambiguous instruction items. There were two instances where the assembler had to guess how the parts aligned. However, the factory made part identification a breeze, and also supplied extra parts. All in all, a well designed robust gazebo. I would recommend this product. We probably will buy another for our shore house.

I am very happy with this gazebo. It looks so nice in my yard! The assembly went well. All the screw holes lined up perfectly. I used both the instruction manual and the BILT app. I and my helper watched the instruction video prior to starting and then viewed it step by step throughout the assembly process.

This gazebo came extremely well packed with good instructions. Parts were organized very well. It took my husband 9 hours to assemble this on his own, and he has construction skills. The average person would need help to do this. It looks great on my patio. We love the screening to keep most insects out, and the shade the canopy provides. We're very happy we purchased this so far.

This product is beautiful as description shows! However, I was expecting it to be smaller in diameter per other reviews. But it's exactly a 10x12 & that was a great surprise!

very good product to assemble everything labeled good,everything fit the way its supposed to all the tools came with kit for the most part realistically you do much better with a 10mm ratchet to speed things up,also 2 people make it much easier to go together allow for about 6-8 hours for assembly. Looks nice and very durable would recommend

Easy assembly, sturdy construction. Excellent assembly instructions. Only needed a second person’s help twice. The only problem was one part did not line up exactly. I was able to work around and successfully secure one bolt, second one was off. Otherwise would be 5 stars

It’s an awesome product but I had to fabricate/customize some parts to get it to work. It was a super late delivery. I don’t think I’d buy again, though. Four supports beams did not have screw receivers shown in the instructions. I may contact Sam’s for a partial refund in all fairness.
