I was able to assemble it all on my own, with the exception of the roof which required 3 people. Instructions were good for the most part and the parts were perfectly made...holes aligned etc. The only room for improvement would be the quality of the spindles as some of the did crack while screwing them together. Overall it looks great and is a beautiful addition to my backyard!

What an excellent way to start the summer with a Yardistry Gazebo kit. The materials and design are excellent and the instructions are easy to follow with concise directions and accurate drawings. Being unable to find a helper, I was able to erect and complete my 12' Meridian Octagon Gazebo by myself, although certain steps are difficult if working alone. The platform is a 12' x 12' deck, framed with 2 x 8s at 16" centres. Photos show that this is adequate to contain the gazebo. The cedar in the kit is premium quality and bored/milled to fit together within incredibly good tolerances. Based on this great experience, I highly recommend Yardistry products and will be a repeat customer!

Bought this a year and a half ago, assembly was delayed due to health issues. Love it. Parts were machined accurately, instructions were clear. Went together without any major hitches. Note: take them seriously when they say you need 4 people to install the roof!

Looks great in my backyard very well made I'm very happy with my purchase.

Nice addition to our backyard area. Was relatively simple to construct.
