This has only been up a few days. Product packaging was great, nothing damaged and no missing parts. You definitely need 2-3 people to assemble. Heaviest lift is the roof sections. All of the pre drilled holes lined up very well with only a few exceptions. Quality of wood and assembly brackets are very good. I can see why this has an excellent wind rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we actually bought 2 - the 10 x 20 gazebo as well as the extra large kitchen gazebo - we are very happy with both! They are solid and well made. We added plastic sides to the 10 x 20 to use it all year round. its a great addition to our deck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gazebo parts arrived in 3 boxes on a pallet. Very heavy. All the parts and bolts are nicely labeled. This gazebo requires at least 2 people to put together—and more people to attach the roof. Overall it is an attractive structure and is very solid. It is a good kit and worth the money

We bought this a month ago and assembled it ourselves. It was a large job but the instructions were very clear. If you are not familiar with tools and larger projects I would recommend paying to have it assembled. The finished product is beautiful and we love it. It is very sturdy and is perfect for our pool side area. We look forward to using it for years to come. I could not be more pleased with this product.

We looked at a lot of options and different products on the market to replace our existing gazebo and finally decided to go with the Backyard discovery Cordova and we are glad we did. It is an extremely well constructed product. We live in upstate New York where we get plenty of snow and, we are confident that this gazebo will hold up to the snow load. It looks great on our deck and seems to be built to last. The power / outlet panel is a very nice feature and gives you plenty of options.

68 year old couple with right tools and meticulous attention to the instructions completed construction of our 14X12 gazebo in 15 hours working time. Print and internet directions were both helpful. 900 lb project came in 6 boxes, so tip the delivery guys extra to place the boxes close to the construction site! We only had one significant boo boo that required retracing a step to correct (and a few mild swear words helped). I am amazed how square the gazebo was during construction; this is paramount in achieving a good result for all the components to fit together. Highly recommend two cordless drills/drivers, two ladders, and good neighbors to help the two times we needed to lift panels of the roof onto the frame. We never ran out of pieces/parts as most bags were overfilled with components, however this led to sometimes wondering if we missed a step. Overall, a good experience and great result. Although, peeling the protective plastic film from the trim pieces was a pain and took a full hour to achieve. We also spent an hour inventorying everything due to wife's accounting background (and found everything was present). I highly recommend this company and this particular project.

I bought this last summer for my concrete patio. After some back and forth with the company contracted (through the backyard discovery website) to put these together, we ended up putting it together ourselves. It was not easy because we did not have the correct ladders or other equipment needed. Otherwise, we really like it.

Bought the gazebo last spring and enjoyed it all summer. Fast forward to spring 2025 and a EF2s tornado came through. Uprooted all our large oak and hickory trees but our gazebo stood tall and strong. Not a scratch. I can't reccommend this product enough.

Well crafted design and substantial construction. No missing parts. In fact they even included extra hardware as well as most driver bits required. Was time consuming since built this by myself with the exception of help to get completed roof panels in place but came out beautifully. Would have liked to have had dimensions for securing the roof panel pieces but taking your time to line up the pre drilled holes will get you square.
