I bought this to add to my deck expansion. With the help of my sons. We got it assembled. Took longer than expected, but had limited time where my sons could come over & help. Instructions were very detailed. Only issue was a couple of the posts had holes drilled in wrong place for the corner brackets & had to drill new holes and it wasn't easy taking the plastic wrap off the metal parts. That's the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. We are loving the new gazebo.

The build quality is great, instructions great, the ‘out of the box’ installers.. not so great. It took them 2 days and I had to help otherwise things would have been skipped or missed. The individual roof panels have a cap edge that that they would have been forgotten which would have been a nightmare as when the heavy roof panels are in place another slide on piece covers the 2 adjoining cap pieces. As it was, they messed up one cap edge by not screwing it in the middle -you could see the sky looking up from under the gazebo- so I had to lean in on the roof and reach in to add a couple screws so the covering piece would slide on. They forgot to install 2 covering boards on the 16’ sides, which I had to add.. they drilled 1/4” holes for 1/4” tapcons meaning they had no holding power (you could unscrew them from the concrete by hand) so I had to buy 5/16” tapcons for the 1/4” holes. A few days after they left, I added 4-5 bolts they missed.. For the installed cost, you’d expect more tech know-how than the installers I got. Love the gazebo, it was worth every penny and structurally very impressive but the installers….

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of the summer. It is exactly what I envisioned. It’s is the perfect area for grilling or just for sitting. It provides the shade needed on a hot sunny afternoon. All materials and parts are of the highest quality. The instructions were easy to follow. The whole project went together easily. We plan to enjoy our Cordova Gazebo for many years to come.

The structure seems very strong and was straight forward to assemble. The roof panels were the most challenging to lift into position. This required enough people and planning to do safely. One design change is needed. The metal band that goes around at the bottom of the roof should go UNDER the roof pieces instead of over them as instructed, because it catches leaves and debris. My leaves caused visible stains on the wood. After it was too late I saw blogs mention how the instructions should be revised.

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest, we were hesitant to buy a "kit" for our gazebo, however it looked so nice in the store we did it. Fantastic choice on our part!!!!! We did pay the extra and have it delivered and installed. Gazebo is great, installation was great. Quality is great. We are very happy!!!!

This installment was easy. Took some time due to weather constraints, but we were able to accomplish the gazebo with no issue. Mind you, it does take some arm work for other tasks when accomplishing the big post and framing structure part of it. As for the roofing, that also took someone with longer arms than normal, if that person is available. I’m 5’7” so anyone can do this!!!

We live in Indiana- strong winds sometimes. So we did our research and saw this Gazebo first time in Sams Club. We compared it with various Gazebos from other companies but every time it came out as a winner. Very solid build and of high quality. We recommend taking the professional installation service as well. Two people came to install this- it took them 5 hours. They also shared people with some handyman skills have started it and then have called them to complete it.

When the boxes came they were mangled from shipping. Several hundred pounds of wood boards shipped in a cardboard box is kind of a disaster. I was thrilled to find that we were only missing a couple pieces and nothing was broken. Customer service was so pleasant to work with for quick replacement. My husband a teenage boys love building lego sets, so building this was right up their alley. I tried to help and quickly discovered the important of details. I tapped out and just let the experts handle it. I have a beautiful gazebo. It withstood the winter. Snow slid off as it's designed to. I can't wait for spring.

We purchased our gazebo and you could smell the quality of the cedar before the box was even opened Our family loves the look, the sturdiness and the fact the food keeps the “insides” underneath cool on hot days. My son likes to do pull ups while we are out enjoying the time outside Having the electric box is also a great help for the lights we set up and keeping the phones and speakers charged for our all day events This gazebo is a home run in all aspects
