It's been about a month or so I do love my gazebo. The only hard thing we had was trying to get someone to put it up, which we paid money, but had to get it put had to get the money reimbursed because we couldn't get anybody to do it it was always an excuse. That's only bad thing. I see that you gotta get someone dependable to put it up. Did these installers leave a lot of parts off yes like some screws and all, but we found them and put up on ourselves otherwise I love it.

The Gazebo turned out better than we expected. The installers were amazing and had it up and ready to go in less than 4 hours. We liked them so much we had them come back and do additional work to the Gazebo. We painted the outside to match our house and added cedar sides, a door and screen.

We absolutely love this gazebo. It is beautiful in our backyard. The directions were relatively easy to follow. No parts were missing but some holes were drilled improperly. It wasn't a big deal, though. I highly recommend having at least three people to assemble. Also, organize all the parts and lumber first. This will make your life easier. Having 4 sawhorses make it way easier as well. When it comes to putting on the roof be sure you have some tall, strong people to help you. We would buy this over and again. It is our backyard oasis!

We purchased this gazebo several months ago and finally have it up. This is not my first gazebo, but both hubs and I very pleased. First, shipping was very fast and since the well packed boxes are large you need a designated place to hold it until ready to assemble. Hubs said it's not hard to put together but take your time read instructions first and have couple of strong guys to help. The finished product is gorgeous—the solar box is handy. We did add a fan and 2 solar shades on the sides —it's AZ and hotter than you know…very thick and sturdy posts too.!!! Great product

I purchased a Backyard Discovery gazebo from Sam's about 5 years ago and I was very happy with the quality of the product. Therefore I returned to the brand, even though there are plenty of other choices out there, some significantly cheaper. This time the quality is very disappointing. Hollow posts made of boards assembled together, one split throughout, and lots of bent, cracked or chipped boards. I would give less than 1 star if I could.

So far so good. It looks really amazing even though the assembly we initially purchased through backyard discovery was extremely disappointing. They never showed up to assemble, so we had to find someone else for assembly. It looks great nonetheless and I hope it holds up during winter time.

Not easy to do, because I had to go back to Sams for parts, I don't know if I got a bad box or something, but the wood was cracked bowed vary badly, The manager was good about it. They opened other boxes and gave me the parts that I needed that were bowed and cracked. Some of the others that were cracked. I filled with wood glue myself, and there was a lot. The cedar is very dry. definitely pre-drill before you put screws in anything that doesn't already have a hole. It took two weeks to put it up, l got one from Wayfair a couple years ago very similar, it took me a weekend to put together, I would say shop around before buying this one.

We bought this for me upcoming 65th birthday gathering and because I love living outdoors. Poured a slab and my son and husband assembled it and let me tell you it is perfect! If they would have been able to only work on it, about a full 4 day project. Very well built, went together easily (a couple of minor adjustments). I'm now looking for that perfect ceiling fan and outdoor rug to complete the look I want. I highly recommend this product! Make sure you READ the manual and watch the DIY video provided BEFORE starting and you should have no problems.

Nice structure but had to go buy rafter boards from our local lumber yard because they are too short. Upon looking at the reviews that are not 5 star-this seems to be a common occurrence. It is a decent deal but be prepared to buy extra parts and lumber. We followed all the instructions to a T with all the parts. Bare in mind this wood is not treated so that is another thing you will need to budget for and do. I would say construction took a total of 20 hours. Maybe closer to 30.

The instructions were definitely not an easy follow. I had to other guys that we have all worked construction at some level and we struggled to understand what they were saying in the instructions. There is a lot of bolts and screw. Holes didn't line up on a lot of things. Did get it up but was not an easy task.
