I was expecting missing and broken parts, horrible instructions, and difficult assembly but got none of that. I didn't even swear during the assembly process! It was actually very easy to assemble and required zero modifications. I'd suggest reading the directions COMPLETELY before starting as you can save yourself a lot of time setting up an assembly line. One person can complete all the subassemblies in a couple days. Instructions said 4 people required for final assembly but me and wifey did it just fine. TBD how well it holds up, but so far, I was very pleased with the purchase.

My home experiences hot, late afternoon western exposure, and I needed a new deck. Saw this gazebo and it is the perfect solution to the harsh afternoon sun. And we love dining, even sleeping in it. I have installed rolling shades on the west side for late afternoon shade and lights.

I received delivery on 6/5 and immediately sorted out the many pieces to ensure complete set. Noticed that #729 Corner LT was cracked. Later when assembling one of the roof panels the end of fascia beam had a chunk fall out when securing it to a Corner RT. I had drill set to lowest torque so I know that it was not from too much force. This is the only piece that fell apart after screwing in what seemed to be a thousand screws. Wish that these two items didn't occur because it seems like it might be a nice gazebo. Also, as another reviewer noted, some to the precut pieces could be a little more precise and some of the longer lengths of wood had a bend in them. I might have to fabricate replacement pieces of wood since I can't wait another 3-4 weeks for replacement parts.

Only four stars because I would think that pieces in a kit would be cut with more precision. You will need a sander to fix the poorly cut pieces. Other boards vary in width and there is no fixing those since the larger width is correct but the defects can be hidden in the final product by the choices you make when assembling it. The gazebo is sturdy and a welcome relief from the sun. It has not yet been through all 4 seasons so I will add to this when it does if there are any changes.

Our backyard went from being a yard with a concrete slab to a space that we truly can use year round. Our gazebo has added so much living space to our house, as it can be used year round. We've had it two years and it looks like new! It is a quality product and we couldn't be happier!

A nice outdoor space! I purchased in spring of 2021 and enjoyed it up until we purchased our now home in early 2023. I enjoyed it lol so much I do plan to purchase again for our current outdoor space. I know the current owners are enjoying it. It also fit our bulky patio furniture perfectly. Being in the North with all 4 seasons the color held up nicely. Excellent purchase!

Did all the work myself except for putting the roof panels up, where I just had a few neighbors help get them in place. I added my own back wall with louvers and getting ready to put an outdoor kitchen inside. It was perfect for my pool and backyard!

The directions for the most part are easy to read and the assembly is fairly easy to put together. Why I give this a 3 star is because the roofing panels, all the side strips, well anything that is aluminum has a sticky plastic film on them. The assembly took 2 people about 8 hours until we got to pulling the sticky film off. That so far has taken us 6 hours.. My fingers hurt, I am cut up, elbows are raw from leaning on this roofing panel all day and how bad is this for the environment. If I had known that this film was on the aluminum panels I may have gotten the client to go with another company.

Purchased in March 2020 and installed in May. We are pleased with the product and hopeful that it will remain as beautiful as it is now. Initially it took three people to erect until we came to the roof and its installation. Made some minor comments regarding the instructions but overall satisfied. It is a beautiful addition to our deck.

We bought this gazebo so that we could add some shade to our deck, and also enjoy sitting outside in the rain. The gazebo is very sturdy and well constructed. I was particularly impressed with the precision; all of the cuts and predrilled holes were bang-on. Everything fit together well! I did the majority of the assembly myself, but there are places where they say you need four people, and you really do need all four people to complete some of the steps. And three step ladders. But follow the instructions and watch the video, and it will go smoothly.
