Shipping was fast and the shipping company put all five boxes in my garage for me. My son, my grandson who is 14 and myself 66 put it together in about 2days of work. After we inventoried everything it went together easily. The first day we got the frame up, and asmbled the 2 large roof sections. The next day we put the 2 small roof sections together and installed the 4 sections and did the finish trim work. Everything you need comes in the boxes, I mean everything if you drop a screw there are extra thats not a problem. I used a battery powered screw gun and a 3/8 impact and thst made it real easy. My brother stopped by on the first day and gave us a hand and my other son stopped by on the second and gave us a hand doing the finish work.

We had a nice pergola from the same company, but when we saw this gazebo at Sam's Club, we decided we would like the roof and shade. So far it has been great to sit out even in a gentle rain. We get more frequent hummingbirds and other birds as well. The directions and BILT app are very good. My Wife, Grandson and I built most all of it and just had help raising the roof panels. No parts were missing or defective. I added some LED lights and a ceiling fan making our deck a very inviting place to be.

Didn't realize actually how big this was and wanted to put on my deck. Ordered it and my son and husband had to assemble it. They did some complaining about how long it was going to take, but the end result was worth it. I love it. I have wanted one forever. They did struggle with the roof as it took three strong men to lift. They didn't want me to show family how good it turned out because they don't want to assemble another one!

I just finished assembling this baby and it isn't for the faint of heart or body. Very solid construction with good quality hardware and lumber. Minor imperfections in the cedar (some slight warping) but overall very good material. The most difficult part of the assembly was removing the blue tacky protective plastic from the roof panels and associated parts/hardware. Definitely recommend at least 2 strong people to put this together. The roof installation looked difficult, but it was actually much easier than I expected. This is very nice addition to my patio with enough covered area for 6 Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. I am very happy with this purchase.

We've had our gazebo for just over a month and we are loving it. I will say, it will take a couple days to assemble. The more help you have, the better! Pay close attention to the assembly instructions in addition to the animations on the BILT app- it will save you a lot of time and give you peace of mind that everything is installed exactly as it should be. Looking forward to summer months by the pool with our new gazebo.

It was challenging to put together. I’m good with tools and assembly and it took me 2 1/2 days. You will need 3 people on a couple steps and watch the tin roof! We have to get 6 stitches due to ankle brushing against it. Once together it is very nice and sturdy. Happy with the results.

Absolutely solid purchase! We love it so much! It took me and my husband about 10 hours total. The roof is what takes a while to build. The instructions are amazing and very thorough! Everything lines up nice ! Taking the film off the tin parts is kinda frustrating but I mean it’s on there to protect the purchase! It’s solid! The cedar is beautiful! When it ships it’s 750 pounds! Definitely need a drill to get this going quicker. The roof is four parts and once assembled you will for sure need 2 or 3 people to put it on! On the roof some of the rafter wood parts didn’t line up with pilot holes but that was ok we made our own and still everything lined up perfectly!

The Cordova Arbor was just what we needed. Study, ample coverage and great price.

Outstanding. I'm so proud of my gazebo. It's my little cabana in the yard. I love it be hope to enjoy it for many years to come!!

Great product, excellent design, good instructions. Was able to complete gazebo with help of two others spanning a complete day.
