EROMMY 12'x20' Hardtop Gazebo, Wooden Finish Coated Aluminum Frame Pergola with Galvanized Steel Roof, Outdoor Metal Gazebos with Curtains and Nettings for Patio, Backyard, Deck and Lawns

The media could not be loaded. Most people are quoting 8 hours assembly with three people. It took us 10-12 with 2 adults and a preteen with the roof being the hardest part. (YOU NEED 2-3 ppl for the roof!) My husband put the base together by himself. Some of the instructions were numbered a bit off and no written instructions but we figured it out. It’s like IKEA picture type instructions with no words.It’s beautiful once up and even better once we’ve put up smart lights, an echo dot for music, and two fans. The privacy curtains and mosquito netting are a great value. We LOVE IT and are spending most of the summer evenings in there. It’s sturdy and a great neutral color for any home. Looking to see how it does with the rainy weather in the PNW. The customer service was great as we were missing a few items and some parts of the curtains roughed up in transit. All parts were replaced quickly.Tip: Wait for the 7 boxes before you start laying it out and unpacking. ROOF: put the middle horizontal bars for the roof up first as you do each side so the panels will stay up for the roof when you are setting them or sliding them in the channels. And forget the tools included. Power tools and a wrench made it go faster. We put magnetic curtain weights (from Amazon) on some of the mosquito netting to keep it from blowing around so much. Allen and Roth Bronze fans (Amazon and Lowe’s) are a perfect color match and don’t sway. We put it on a smart power strip to control it and the gazebo lights with Alexa but some people have used a plug/remote control since these are high up and done have a remote.

Would definitely recommend. Boxes shipped in 7 boxes 1 box came the day after the first 6. I think it had been on the truck but was missed. We layed all the parts out on the garage floor so they'd be easy to see as needed. Each part labeled perfectly. My man and I put this together ourselves, so two people for 2 1/2 weekends. 5 days of hard labor. Went through each page of the picture only manual very slowly and carefully, once studied it made sense. Clips for the roof panel edges were exteremely challenging. We crimped them and they still fell out, so after a lot of frustration, some roof panels are missing clips which doesn't seem to affected much, so far. Roof panels kept sliding out as we were trying to line up the next section to install, so we discovered a light screw (from a page ahead), helped until a section was ready to be installed and tightened. We kept all screws in lightly until each side was in and ready to be screwed in tight. This allowed for some play in each part. Screw holes lined up perfectly and there are a lot of them. Only two holes at the very end needed a drill to be enlarged. All parts plus extra screws came with it except the 3 hooks for the top so you can hang things from them. No big deal. Curtains fit perfectly and work well and quality made. We've had heavy rain since install and all were getting is edge drips from the clips on the edges which a bit of silicone will take care. Very sturdy, great quality, should last a very long time. Extremely pleased. Someone said take it slow, absolutely right, so worth it I n the end. Highly recommend!

(Overall review at the bottom)Shipping:The gazebo came in three boxes, with 2 shipments from FedEx. The two shipments were about one week apart, and all of the boxes had arrived within ~2 weeks after ordering. The boxes are about 100 pounds a piece, so be ready to receive and move them around, especially if you don’t have a helpful delivery driver and/or won’t be home during arrival.Setup:We had a team of three people to setup this gazebo, and it took about 10 hours over 2 hot days. We had a power drill ready with bits (a 4mm hex, 6mm hex, and a “medium” Phillips bit), and I would not at all recommend setting up this gazebo without them. The hand tools provided are helpful in pinch, but are simply not sufficient for complete assembly (though this is not at the fault of the seller). At least 2 people and a couple different height ladders were also necessary, especially when assembling the roof. The manual is very helpful, and no extra instruction was needed, it seems as though the manufacturer has taken care to note places where problems can occur and how to avoid them. The initial frame is very easy to setup, and everything goes together very well. Some of the pieces had to be shuffled a bit to get everything to fit properly given the tolerances, and everything is definitely easier to put together if you wait to tighten parts until right before moving to the next step. The roofing sheets are by far the most difficult step, as they are sharp, get very hot in the sun, and the clips are worthless without some extra modifications. NOTE: If you have a punch, it was incredibly helpful to lightly punch the clips into the metal sheets so that they do not slip off the sheets as easily. Before attempting to punch them, it took multiple attempts to put up one of the sides of the roof. Getting all of the holes, spacers, and bolts was very time consuming and at times frustrating, but the payoff was absolutely worth it.Missing parts and customer service:We realized that a part was missing during assembly. The missing part was a clip to keep the curtain hangers from sliding off the rails where they are inserted, and we were able to set the entire gazebo up without them. Customer service was very quick to sort out why the part may have went missing and were even faster in replacing them. Once shipped, the parts only took 3 days to arrive in the US(Michigan) from China. I am very confident that should any other issues arrive or a part become damaged, it would be easy to order a replacement, which is important given the average life of curtains and screens in gazebos like this.Overall:We have had the gazebo for a couple weeks as of writing this review, and we love it. It handles rain very well, and it has handled mild winds as well so far (it is anchored to a wooden deck). I will definitely update this review after stronger storms and the Michigan winter, but I am not concerned about its durability currently. While the price is substancial and the setup is very difficult, the gazebo is definitely worth it. I can not in good conscience give it 5/5 stars given the difficult setup, originally missing parts, some counterintuitive designs (especially involving the roof), and some loose tolerances that result in some minor visual defects given the price point, but I believe that a 4/5 is fair. This may change after we see how it stands up to a full 4 seasons of weather, but I would definitely recommend this gazebo so long as you are up for the challenging setup.
