Once you have a good level foundation, putting the gazebo together is easy and the instructions are very clear. I also found one YouTube video of the build, which helped visualize everything and made it even easier. There were only a couple hiccups — a couple of the screws had messed up tips and would not go into the wood. We found the same type of screw at a hardware store. And the biggest issue was that one of the metal parts was not drilled all the way, they forgot one hole on one side. We did our best to drill through the metal but ultimately left it without one bolt. I think it will be fine. It’s not the sturdiest gazebo ever (the wood is very light), but it works perfectly in our space. Put together over two days, two people. We did need a couple extra people in the very beginning to help hold the initial poles in place while we connected and secured them.

In the process of assembling it. We actually love it and would buy it again.

We love this gazebo so much! Two of us put this together over two days. It was challenging but not terrible, a third person might have made this a one day job. It looks fabulous and materials seem good quality for the price. Highly recommend having a concrete slab for this, as I think trying to build this on grass/dirt would be very difficult.

Nice looking Gazebo. Was able to put up by myself except for about an hour of my wife helping me by holding the posts. Took me about 10 hours total over the course of three days. Had a storm go through last night and it did not leak and held up well. Nice size. Installed a wall on one side for a TV.

Everyone who sees my gazebo cannot believe it was a kit and I just love it! High quality and my son and I put it together on an afternoon. I highly recommend this gazebo. It will turn your yard into a magical oasis.
