AMERLIFE 10x12 Spruce Wood Gazebo, Hardtop Gazebo with Aluminum Double Roof, Outdoor Pergola with Wood Frame for Parties, Backyard, Lawns, Patio

As advertised. Took 2 of us, the other guy was patient & knew how to follow instructions, 8 hours. Very well designed & sturdy. Came in 4 heavy boxes many pieces well worth the price.

Excellent quality and easy to put up.

The packages arrived over a period of four days. Packaging was good ... no damage. Everything had to be carried 77 steps up a hill. I unpacked the boxes before transporting them since some were fairly heavy. I had previously dug out the hillside and built retaining walls and packed a dirt floor based on the described dimensions. But once I received the boxes I found out that the posts needed an extra 11 inches in both directions. Ugh. Down came the walls and out came the shovel. There was no protection on the wood, so that was the next project. Then I laid out the spacing and dug 3 foot deep holes for the cement piers. I built 12×12×6 inch (inside dimensions) forms to raise the roof a bit. Otherwise 6 foot plus people would need to duck when entering or leaving the gazebo. The posts were glued up boards with a hollow center. OK, but not what I expected. And my reason for only 4 stars is that these posts are anchored with only 4 very small screws on each leg (see picture). On the side of our valley we get some strong uplifts during winter storms. I'm waiting to see if we lose this before next year!!! Note ... I debated fabricating my own base brackets but finally decided not to. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I've written many user manuals and was impressed with what was supplied here. Parts were clearly labeled and extra hardware was supplied. Boards and other parts were packed with care. I built this solo and it took about 6 hours, not including all of the site preparation work, of course. All parts lined up, although it was a squeeze fitting the upper trim pieces. Note ... The 45 degree gusset boards did not fit like furniture. There were gaps. But hey, what do you expect? On the other hand, the metal roof was perfect. All in all I felt that this was a great design. Assuming the corner screws hold this winter I'll be very happy with this addition.

Been a year already since installing the gazebo I’m in socal so no real weather here just sun and rain but it’s still sold! no wood cracks no problems. One roofing peace had a huge dent probably from shipping and got it out like 80%. Definitely two person job but I was able to do most of it myself. Honestly wasn’t expecting much because it didn’t cost much compared to others but it definitely has exceeded my expectations. Very happy

Recieved in multiple boxes, once we started building we realized that there were two missing roof pieces. I had to contact the seller and they sent us the missing pieces in a reasonable ammount of time. Within days of the installation the wood started to split on one of the post, the seller informed me that its normal for cedar to split and it would not effect the integrity of the structure and assured me it was safe. To my request they still sent me a replacement post. Great customer service! Easy to understand instructions, need 2 people to bulid. Due to the missing pieces initially and finding out the post are not SOLID wood and that split so fast is why I only gave 3 stars. It looks beautiful, it's heavy and very sturdy.

Assembly - definitely need 2 to 3 people, 6 to 8 hours, and many ladders/drills Overall look - beautiful Problem- the poles are hollow and 2 of the 4 of them are cracking after only being up for nearly a month. The weather where we live is mild, nothing extreme.

I love it. It looks so pretty out there. I enjoy every minute of it.

All parts fit well and instructions were easy to follow. I put it together in two six hour days with my wife helping the second day handing me the roof panels. Very pleased!
