We ordered and erected the 10x10 Meridian Gazebo over the last week and I would like to compliment Yardistry on the quality of the product. The engineered design was very thoughtful and thorough; I am impressed with how well everything fit together and how relatively easy it was to assemble. The materials were of apparently excellent quality; given that this is a natural wood product, some minor deficiencies are to be expected, but they were very few in number and essentially imperceptible. My only quibble would be to repeat what others have commented on regarding the plastic film applied to the roofing panels; very time-consuming and annoying to remove. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase; 5 stars.

We purchased this item, very much dreading putting it together. What a shock, everything labeled correctly. Step by step instructions. Well built, sturdy and not as hard to put up as I thought. Looks great in our backyard, we have a firepit in the middle with our patio furniture around. Well worth the money

We had the manpower. Everyone watched the 'helpful hints' videos on line. We had all of the cedar components built in a couple of hours. No issues. Until we started to installing the aluminum roof panels. Dead stop. It took us 4 hours to peel the plastic film off. A ridiculous amount of time. Yardistry will respond that the plastic film is there to protect the panels. My response: Find a better way. The ridge caps, roof ridge track sections and roof trim sections all peeled easily. The panels, not so much. It was like a kind of torture! Lol. Also, look for parts inside the main posts, they're hollow and we had some inventory hidden in there. A solid product, well packaged, well designed. Could have done without the plastic film drama.

I would give this gazebo a perfect 10 except for one big issue I have: after getting it up, the next day my hands broke out in blisters and fingers swollen - seems that I am allergic to the plastic covering of the roofing metal pieces. There is lots of plastic to be removed by hand. If you are allergic to latex get someone else to remove the covering!!!!!!!!!!!! We were 4 seniors who put this up: one in his 60s, 2 in our 70s and on in his 80s. Took us 3 hot, sunny afternoons and lots of water breaks. I did some sub-assemblies in the garage out of the sun but the strong essence of the cedar started making me woozy. With garage door fully open letting in warm but fresh air all was soon fine. We had one issue with following the directions: We had the outside roof triangle assembly upside down. Realized this when we came to attach the metal roof pieces. Fortunately, taking the piece off and reattaching it was minor. Later on the third day of assembly we had a BBQ for the 4 assemblers and wives. Looks great in our backyard on a 10 x 10 wooden deck/platform about 7 feet from the house. Plan to purchase a few cedar planks and attach to one end to serve as a windbreak and privacy screen. It would be about shoulder height down to knee level. Maybe a metal decorative panel(s) on a second side. Maybe a lattice on the third side to have plants growing up. Fourth side open to enter and exit. A few minor aches and pains suffered by the senior 4; however, it didn't stop the others from playing golf the next day or two later.

I bought two of these gazebos because I love the way they look. However, within the first 4 months parts started to crack and split and the issue was growing. I emailed Yardistry and they replaced several of the pieces under their warranty. They were a bit of a pain to replace but it worked out in the end, and Yardistry was pleasant to deal with. I live in Southern California which is typically hot and dry but that year was atypically very wet and we went through several cycles of wet and then hot. I'm sure this didn't help the product even though the parts were treated. In the end, I would buy them again. As a side note, several of the pieces came warped, don't tighten the bolts until you have a lot of the product already together or it can be difficult to assemble.

We got this for my wife for Mother's Day. Our daughter ended up getting married in it last week. It was a fun project for me. Instructions are very good, you need to pay attention to the details. Overall good quality and a good value. We are very satisfied.

What an amazing Gazebo for the price. Great looking addition to my backyard. this was a really fun project to assemble instructions were great and all the hardware is there. also customer service was excellent when I requested a few replacement parts.

Our redwood gazebo that housed our hot tub was smashed by two falling trees in our backyard by the "bomb" cyclone that struck this past March. We found the Meridian gazebo to be the right size, but Yardistry doesn't offer privacy panels for the 10x10 at this time. I designed these panels myself and our contractor built everything to our specifications.

We bought the Meridian model in May, 2017. It was fairly easy to assemble. It looks absolutely beautiful--classy & elegant. The neighbors went bonkers when we put up this gazebo--green with envy. It made our patio a showplace. Read the reviews for hints installing---they really helped. Don't wait another minute, go buy this eye pleasing structure.

I purchased this gazebo about a month ago and my 2 sons and I took about 11 hours to assemble. Instructions and online videos were very helpful in assuring proper assembly. Everything went together properly and looked excellent in the final product.
