It is nice looking and sturdy. The color of the wood is slightly lighter than pictured. There’s also a ton of imperfections on the wood and for how much I spent, it is a bit bothersome. Overall, it’s a high quality product. I really liked the option to pay extra for installation. The guys did a good job setting it up overall, though it did prevent us from noticing the imperfections prior to setting it up.

I liked that the 6 boxes fit into a pickup truck and that nothing was damaged because everything was packaged well. It took two old guys (myself and my brother-in-law) 3 days to put it together but a couple younger guys could have done it in a day and a half. The measurements provided by Backyard were correct and it fit perfect on my new deck. We have got several compliments about this gazebo.

I had the gazebo assembled in September. The crew that put it up worked quickly and did a great clean up job. The gazebo is very functional and receives so many compliments on the look. It is extremely sturdy and provides great shelter from the Michigan elements. It is nice to be able and sit outside even when raining.

I bought this a surprise for my wife a few months ago. She was looking at gazebos in stores and always wanted one. I saw this gazebo and never saw anything like it before! The size, sturdiness, and with outlet! So i purchased it along with professional builder plan to have it built for her as well. She was so surprised when she came home and it was already built (only took two installers a few hours). She couldn’t believe how beautiful it looked, she told me that she has never seen anything like this in stores. Let me give you the most honest feedback…This gazebo exceeded all mine as well as her expectations! We have hosted a few family gathering and got do many compliments on it. I even referred a couple of family members to the website to purchase one because they loved it so much.

I purchased the Barrington 14x10 gazebo and had absolutely no issues putting it together. I could not be more happy with how it looks after putting it together. It’s everything I had hoped it would be. Please give the person or team a bonus or raise as they are some of the best assembly instructions I’ve ever seen. Between that and the Bilt app on my iPhone, I did not have any questions whatsoever in the building of the gazebo. Simply perfect.

Bought this last summer and we love it! Assembly was challenging, even with 4 of us because of heavy pcs, and the high roof, but we did it. If I buy another, I would pay for set up. ;) This gazebo is so well built, sturdy and good looking. Survived winter no problem. Highly recommend this.

The instructions were very thorough, I would recommend downloading the BILT AP as well. I would recommend a total of 3 people to install the roof panels but can be done with two strong people that have some basic carpentry skills. Keep all parts organized and take your time, the end result is beautiful. Highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cordova 14×12 gazebo has completely changed the look and appeal of our backyard. Yes, there were a few warped boards but they pretty much straightened out once we tightened down the brackets. It took all of three days to assemble, don't try it alone! I recommend using the instructional video vs the hardcopy version. I also recommend applying oil based sealant for an extra layer of protection. It's been up for just a couple of months so time will tell how it stands up to Texas extreme weather conditions, but looks great for now. Note - don't forget to go back and tighten the screws/bolts that the instructions say to hand tighten at first!

All our poolside retreat needed was a centerpiece giving us some shade...one that wouldn’t obstruct the glorious foothill views that surround our home near Yosemite. The Cordova protects us from the sun and the squinting, yet we are still able to relax and watch the hawks and ravens circling beneath clouds rolling in from the Pacific. Take a soothing dip in the pool or the spa. Then dry off under the solid Gazebo roof. All the creature comforts we need are at hand. The Cordova was the only thing that was missing. It is a classic. Bold and sturdy design. Perfect.

We bought it in September to allow us to add shade or protection to extend the usage of our new patio for the fall and the future seasons. We added roll down shades and curtains which allowed our furniture to be protected from an Idaho Winter. It also allowed us to heat with a patio heater which made it easier for us to dry off after getting out of our hot tub without tracking water into the house. I used this gazebo to enjoy the football season on the patio in the comfort of the enclosed gazebo. We are looking forward to barbecue season that is right around the corner.
