[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assembled this by myself, with the exception of lifting the finished roof panels up at the final stage. It was a few hours a day, for 4-5 days to get the job done, and the instructions were very clear. There was an appropriate amount of extra fasteners provided - if you drop a washer or two, it's ok - there are a few extra. The finished product looks great, and has been a great addition to our new back patio and fireplace.

Very nice product, but do yourself three favors. 1) Download the BILT app. This helps clear up any doubts you have about how things go together. You still have to pay attention to the details of the instructions! 2) Don't get in a hurry. Make sure you take the time to make sure the parts are properly aligned before tightening things down. This will aid in proper fit in subsequent steps. 3) Have plenty of room to lay out the six cartons that this unit comes in. I was killing myself trying to make sub-assemblies in one side of my garage and digging through boxes while it poured down rain outside. Also, it's really nice to have help. It DOES TAKE THREE PEOPLE to install the roof panels. After some struggles, still Very happy with this piece.

We bought this gazebo last summer and it made it through a Wisconsin winter with no problems. Added some lights and a ceiling fan and it is our favorite spot to hang out. Assembly was a bit of a project and required 2 people but it was no more than expected given the size and weight of the gazebo. All pieces were accounted for and it went together quickly. I have no doubt this gazebo is going to last us years. I can't wait to finish the deck and railings in the same beautiful dark walnut stain, which is fairly easy to match.

We purchased 3 acres in the country and built our homes. We needed a perfect spot to relax and entertain friends. This gazebo fills the bill for relaxing in the afternoon listening to the birds or entertaining friends in our new relaxing country home. Eventually, we are building a pond area in front of the gazebo for additional country relaxation.

We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.

We purchased in the fall and it has held up very well in the harsh winter months and withstood 60mph winds like a champ in strong storms this spring. We get a lot of wind where we live and I am very pleased in how well it has held up. It's ready for our fireplace install and new furniture this spring.

We love our new Discovery Gazebo! It’s not fully set up yet with our additions (curtains, lights, etc) but we’re getting there! Even bare, our new gazebo brings so much more life to the backyard. We can’t wait to entertain and excited to finally have some shade as well. I highly recommend this product!

I’m so thrilled with my new gazebo! So much better now that we have great shade to make the yard more comfortable! I paid someone to build it and he did a great job, and it did take some time to grade it properly, pour thr concrete and anchor everything!

The gazebo is very sturdy and looks nice the pre drilled holes are not always exactly where they should be and you will need to drill some that werent drilled out clean. it woukd be well worth the 650$ for installation as we spent about 20-25 hrs assembling this. overall i am happy with the finished product and it seems like it will withstand the new england winters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the cordova 14x10 a couple of months ago for our patio area. Love the space and the quality of the product. I would recommend to anyone looking to add a sitting area or as we use it, to cover our hot tub.
