gazebo was just bought and put up.it is well built ,but there are a lot of pieces to put together and the directions are mostly just pictures. you will need 2 or more people to even attempt assembly.it comes in three heavy boxes[almost 100 pounds each] it did go together as planned ,but i would never do another one,a lot of work but it is nice

This review may be slightly lengthy but I'm hoping it helps future customers. Overall, for the price, this is a good product. What isn't told is that you will need an 8 ft ladder at a minimum, but it is preferred that you have 2 ladders available. Without it, putting this together would be nearly impossible. You will also need at least 7 hrs. I actually took me closer to 10 but the weather played a part it that (it rained during the time I set aside for installation). Finally, 2 people through most of the install will be a must. There were times that I put pieces of it together alone, but it wasn't very many. The instructions for the 1st 6 pages were straight forward, then it got progressively difficult. I almost broke down and called the company cause it wasn't making any sense but maybe I frustration kicked in and I just needed to step away for a day. It is lightweight which makes moving it easy once installed but you will have to anchor it to avoid high winds. I hung lights (I'm sure you will want to also) but I had to get creative to do that. There really isn't anything to hang them on. This went directly over my hot tub and that was the primary purpose of purchasing it

The boxes were delivered in poor shape, looked like several other unhappy customers opened the boxes, retapped and sent them back. Why would Way Fair send out damaged boxes like this and expect customers to be OK with damaged or missing parts? I also tapped and returned the boxes that cost me $80. Not happy

This is a very sturdy gazebo. If you’re planning to assemble this yourself then make some time for it because it comes with lot of parts. Make sure you follow instructions step by step yes it took me all day just to put up the frame at least 2-3 people when you ready to stand hooked up the post to the frame. I only have the roof let to do but I ran out of time it was getting dark. I love how it turned out! I can already picture it looks great on my deck and I can’t wait to add some light around it. Just be patient with the assembly!

Awesome and well made
