This is my favorite outdoor purchase ever! I chose this gazebo after spending hours searching reviews of different brands. This brand has the most consistent excellent reviews. After adding curtains and a fan, this has become an outdoor living room for us. It took my husband and 2 friends about 3.5 hours to assemble. One friend used to put together things like this for a big box hardware store so he had quite a bit of experience. It may take a little longer for people not used to assembling large items. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand. We were able to brace it into our deck. We hope to get many years of use out of this!

Easy understanding of assembly. Not too many parts and pieces. Quality is great and as expected. Highly recommend, it’s beautiful

FIRST: WHEN INSTALLING THE ROOF, INSTALL THE PANELS CLOCKWISE. It took me about two hours to figure that out, with one assistant quitting in defeat. The instructions don't tell you that. Start in one corner with a triangle piece (my pieces were mislabeled) so that the edge ridge points outward. The next piece has an overlapping groove that fits on top of that ridge, and on the other side of that piece will be another ridge pointing out. The roof is not the easiest to install, so if you at least know that much, you'll save yourself a ton of aggravation. As for the gazebo itself, this 11 x 13 is just a perfect roomy size. It is made of quality materials and mostly every piece fits exactly, and all fit close enough that a mallet or some arm wrestling will get them to fit. It comes with a generous oversupply of screws and fittings. The instructions are accurate but they could provide a lot more info than they do. It took us (3 of us, for two of the days) 3 days to put together. I'm extremely happy with the gazebo itself. It looks very strong and durable. I bought another gazebo from Wayfair 5 years ago and it has stood the test of time, so I expect this one, superior in construction, will, too. There are just two things I don't like. One, the netting is very cheap. From my experience with my other gazebo, it will rip and tear in no time, and I hope it does because I want to have a good reason to replace it. The light tan color really detracts from the gravitas and class of the gazebo. It should be black. With my other gazebo, I found a website that has dog-proof netting for sale and I replaced each panel that my dogs tore through. It looks terrific and it is very durable. I must admit that the netting at the cupola is very well placed with velcro. There are a lot of details to this gazebo that are very well thought out. The design and construction are excellent. However, I bought this in February and it sat in the boxes in the yard, getting rained and snowed on for weeks, before I could assemble it in May. April was a deluge, day after day. Everything was wrapped really well, but some water was able to infiltrate the plastic bags around some of the roof panels, and they became stained, as you can see in the pictures. I don't really think that was foreseeable on anybody's part, but the marks are permanent. I may use a can of spray paint to fix, but they aren't that horrible. The photo looks worse than real life. It's only the quality and color (not the light, breezy color in the pix) of the netting that causes me to downgrade this. You can decide for yourself what you think. Yes, and the instructions were only barely adequate. The gazebo itself -- mwahh. I love it.

After nearly 3 months of looking over HUNDREDS of different gazebos across many websites and watching many YouTube videos for install tips and tricks, I settled on this 11x13 Sunjoy from Wayfair. It checked every box I needed and didn't disappoint. I wanted a Gazebo that had sturdy corner columns. Others were 3-4" and were somewhat triangular - this Sunjoy has 5" square columns giving it a stronger looking stance. Though I looked at Brown (Bronze) with others, this Gazebo was listed as Black. How pleasantly surprised I was when it actually was NOT a solid black. More like and oil rubbed bronze/dark brown/black with very light brown flake. It matched perfectly with my dark brown gutters and dark brown composite decking. A small detail that I didn't see (maybe overlooked), the very top of the Gazebo has 4 small roof panels that are a dark amber plastic allowing just a little filter light through or in the evening with lighting, an amber glow at the top. The structure came in 5 boxes, weighing 80-100lbs each. I was very impressed how every box was reinforce and it's contents well protected by wood, braces, study corners and more. None of the frames had any damage from shipping...and NO missing pieces! For all the pieces, only one roof panel took a small dent. The directions were fair and every piece had a corresponding sticker so you knew exactly which part went where. It was a half day build that went faster than expected. The ONLY complaint I have is how noisy it is. I installed it on my deck so any movement on the deck transfers to the structure. Since the roof panels use very few screws to hold it down, the metal panels make some noise as they flex against the frame work. I chose to caulk key areas to dampen the noise. In hind sight, one could line the roof frames with something - felt or rubber strips, joist tape, bead of caulking, whatever to lessen the metal on metal noise. May not be an issue if mounted on cement or in the yard. Personal taste and easy fixes for me. The biggest question we always ask ourselves - all things considered, would be buy it again! Absolutely yes! Very pleased.

The A5 is identical to B5 and needs to be mirror image of it

I absolutely love this gazebo! Definitely need 3-4 people to assemble.

The gazebo is exactly as advertised! We assemble it very easily with just two people!

Great! Took husband and friend to put up. Only 3 hours. Not too many extra parts. Very sturdy. changing out canopies spring and fall. Love it!!!

Very nice Gazebo

The gazebo looks to be very good and sturdy but we are not able to put it up until next summer because we first want to pour new concrete. We are very excited to see what it will look like and be happy we won't have to take it down every year like we have to do now with our old Sun Joy gazebo that has a cloth top. We had that gazebo for over 10 years and loved it but did have to replace the top about every two years. Thank you for a great product.
