It was a lot of work to assemble. Me and my wife did all of the assembly. We stained and sealed it. I hired some help to lift the roof up. I am 68 and my wife is 64. We took our time and got her done. I think if I were to do it again I would have it assembled.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve had our gazebo for about 5 months and put it by our pool for shade in the summer. It was fantastic. Made it tolerable to enjoy the pool during the day in July and August. We used the Ilea Dignitet tension curtain wire and hung sheer curtains for some privacy. We hired a contractor to put it together because we just didn’t have the time. The instructions are 99 pages long! It ended up costing us just as much as the gazebo for assembly but we still think it was worth it and the value was good. It is a gorgeous gazebo that’s held up to some strong storms. In the off season we’ve put furniture in the middle of it and it does offer some protection although things will get wet in a big Texas thunderstorm.

Nice precut unit they have it figured out very well, if you build it yourself pay a lot of attention to the instruction as they are written. When they show you those high lighted instruction in red don't blow them off it will hurt you at the final step. Customer service was very helpful had a few pieces that had warps and they sent new ones right away. We bought a 12x20 and it has a lot of parts and big panels so have at least 3 to 4 people it sure makes it easy. We give it a 4 star because they have no 4.5 can't give it a 5 some of the instruction can be a little bit of a head scratcher and the film on the trim is super hard to get off so start early on working it off. All in all very happy with Gazebo it will surely be enjoyed by the family, material is good quality and packaging was very professional.

We bought this gazebo last summer and we absolutely love it! It’s great quality, features and style are amazing! We paid for the professional install and are very glad we did! The installers were professional and very customer friendly! And the gazebo weathered our winter weather very well! We’re considering getting the matching bar-b-que gazebo!

Bought this last month. Had it delivered. The delivery was quick and the delivery people extra helpful. We also paid the extra to have it assembled for us. Well worth the extra cost! The product is well built and very attractive. Can't wait to start entertaining.

I purchased this gazebo this summer and hired someone to assemble it for me. They never found time so I did it myself. I must say there are so many good things about this set. Very good quality materials that for the most part fit together like a glove. They even give you extra screws/bolts/washers which I needed because I dropped a few in the grass and could not find them and I stripped a couple screws (my fault). I did have a few problems but since I am not a professional handy man, it could of been my fault. You must get the roof framing within the correct dimensions as stated in the instructions. The 10' sides were off a slight bit and I could not get it fixed. This caused a little problem later. The roof pieces are heavy so it will take 3 strong people to set them up and secure them. The paper instructions were OK but I had to use Youtube to verify some things...and there's an app you can download too that helps allot. If you are considering it, do it.

My husband and I are newly retired and decided that this Gazebo would be our first handyman project to begin our retirement with. The Gazebo instructions ALONG with the app worked very well. We were able to put the Gazebo together in about three days. We only needed help on the fourth day, when we installed the roof panels onto the Gazebo rafters. We were very impressed with how sturdy and strong the structure is. We had looked at other gazebo kits and most of them do not have wooden rafters. We think that this Gazebo Kit is top of the line and highly recommend the purchase of this kit, you will be thrilled!!!

[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.

So it took me about three weeks to do during the hot summer days that we had, I actually did about a weeks worth of work on it in between resting from the heat with over hundred degrees temperature several days in my area. Everything went together fairly well, I was a little worried about the measurements for the four roof panels, but once I got it up there and all bolted together, it turned out great. I recommend just following the instructions page by page and don't jump ahead and you should have no problem at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought and installed this a month ago, the install process is lengthy so I recommend packaging with an install. The only real issue is the kiln dried wood dried warped over time, so try and keep the product out of the sun If installing over multiple days. As with most kits, the most time consuming process is sorting parts. Overall I have gotten lots of compliments and would recommend this product.
