It came in five boxes complete with all hardware and special tools with great printed instructions. Also, there are 3-D instructions on the Internet, which were very easy to follow. If done by step-by-step assembly is fairly easy and putting the roof panels on you do need three people I called, the factory once to clarify an instruction very helpful people cleared up the question I had. I would recommend This pergola to anyone with some assembly skills. Very satisfied with it.

Great quality, looks awesome. We only had 2 people to build it, it took us about 18 hrs total over 2 days. Use the BILT app, it gave perfect instructions.

We really love this thing. It has only been together a week so far but we have spent every night outside sitting under it. The wood smells so good.

My husband and I put this together in a weekend! It really wasn’t that bad!

Great product. Directions are very good.

The gazebo was well built and instructions were easy to follow for a build this big. Plenty of extra hardware. The predrilled holes were exact. It takes three asults to assembled snd lift the pieces into place.

High quality, beautiful gazebo. Build and assembly were straight forward, easy, and simple with the Built App... The gazebo parts were designed to the 1/8 inch spec.... Amazing architecture and machining. Highly recommend! Waterproof staining the wood took the longest, but I highly recommend it. You really do need 2-3 men to assemble the roof!

Bought this item to put up next to my camp. Seems very sturdy and looks fabulous. We get a lot of wind next to the water so we bought it for the wind rating. Directions were not so were good. The blue film on all the metal pieces was a nightmare to peel off. I think that’s what took us the longest peeling off the blue film. Overall after many hours of construction I am very happy with my purchase. The price was right and all the pieces were cut to size already.

Heavy and sturdy, it won't go anywhere when installed correctly. Looks great on my patio. Some negatives. The roof panels are very heavy to raise. It takes 3 strong guys to get the long ones up. The seam cover between the panels will leak. The design is not totally waterproof. The gap is just covered with a thin seal that doesn't extend far enough to ensure rain doesn't migrate to the gap and drip. Don't put a TV in the gable between the panels. Make sure you put electronics under the flat of the panels. Use Red Devils to secure this to your concrete. Do not use the included anchors.

Very disappointed, I can’t believe I gave in and finally purchased it just to find that half way through the build the rest of the boards are warped. We were so excited to use it this summer but now we are contemplating taking it back down to return.
