Our daughter and grandson helped build it, along with a few extras to help lift the roof sections. It replaced a canvas topped gazebo that flapped constantly in the wind. We added lights for evening enjoyment, and are looking forward to a relaxing time this summer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a long process to install but all worth it. It looks so beautiful and luxurious. The wood color is stunning. Beauty does not compromise quality, it is very sturdy and well made. Our backyard looks so good with this gorgeous gazebo.

My partner and I built this gazebo and get many compliments on it! We love this gazebo! The first two days my partner sat under it for 15 hours. The instructions were pretty straight forward and the app helped a ton! I don’t know what we hesitated two years before making this purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very satisfied with the quality. Don’t be intimidated. All parts are very well marked and organized. My husband put it all together by himself. Only needed a second pair of hands at the very end to put on patio. Would buy again and again. Great price!

Save yourself a lot of time and money and build your own. This is all cheap 1" wood. You have to spend an hour finding 5 different numbered boards, numerous numbered nuts and bolts, to bolt them all together to make what should be just a 2x6x14 to save them on shipping costs. Wood scratches and mars easily when assembling making it look terrible before it's even up. Sheet metal is cheap and thin and arrived dented. Nothing lines up like it's supposed to cheap 1" wood warped and bowed immediately after short, which took an hour to sort into numerical pikes of wood and hardware. I am amazed at all the 5 star reviews, they must be fake. I'm a contractor and could have bought nice redwood and sheet metal and been done eith my own in a two days. 6x6s are fake and hollow inside, pre drilled holes don't line up, metal sheets don't line up. This was a mistake.

This has only been up a few days. Product packaging was great, nothing damaged and no missing parts. You definitely need 2-3 people to assemble. Heaviest lift is the roof sections. All of the pre drilled holes lined up very well with only a few exceptions. Quality of wood and assembly brackets are very good. I can see why this has an excellent wind rating.

It took my wife and I 5 weeks to assemble, but we worked on it a leisurely pace. It's a good bit of work to put together but it came out really nice. Power tools are HIGHLY recommended, and you have to use your common sense as the instructions are a little fuzzy in certain steps. But overall a good experience and the end product is great/

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

My husband is quite handy so he decided to build a similar structure from scratch. When I saw this on display at our Sam's Club, I brought him back to take a look because I loved it and it was a larger size than we thought we could afford. He was impressed with the truss system and all around durability.... After some comparison analysis, we bought the Cordova for far less than it would have taken my him to build. Not to mention the time this kit saved us from having to find the lumber and hardware, and then having to cut, stain, and assemble! I got what I wanted in a quick and easy weekend project, and my husband was thrilled at this being real a time saver for him!! It is a perfect relaxing place along side our firepit!! We are getting so many compliments on this sturdy attractive gazebo!!!

We live in Indiana- strong winds sometimes. So we did our research and saw this Gazebo first time in Sams Club. We compared it with various Gazebos from other companies but every time it came out as a winner. Very solid build and of high quality. We recommend taking the professional installation service as well. Two people came to install this- it took them 5 hours. They also shared people with some handyman skills have started it and then have called them to complete it.
