Received three boxes for this Gazebo. Opening and unpacking was an easy job, The time it took putting up was 2-3 hours with breaks. Need to have at least two people to get it done but the final part was iy looks great. Love the side screens and curtains. Overall it is a very nice gazebo

Based on reviews and cost was the reason we went with this gazebo. It fits our space and the fact it has a metal roof was a great selling point. Our previous canopy had a canvas top which needed replaced every year. I did most of the install myself. I had very little help which was even necessary. It took me four days, so I went slow and steady. The picture only instructions were really pretty good. All the parts were there and all the holes lined up. Which brings me to building of the gazebo. I left all major screws and bolts that attached the horizontal rails to the legs loose. One of the issues mentioned in reviews was being able to make this thing “square.” I’m handy, but square can be tough at times. By leaving screws and bolts loose, it allowed me to make the necessary adjustments when installing the roof panels. Once all the roof panels were installed, I tightened up all the screws and bolts. It worked very well.

Absolutely love this gazebo! The metal roof is a game-changer-no more replacing flimsy canvas every year. lt keeps our outdoor furniture perfectly dry (except during really heavy storms). Assembly was straight forward with clear instructions, and everything fit together just right - we had no missing parts or misaligned holes that we saw in reviews for other brands. The roof corners did give us a bit of a challenge, but totally worth it for how sturdy this thing is! It is easily the best upgrade we've made to our backyard!
