This gazebo is definitely 5 star. The wood, very nice, a solid structure.The kit went together perfectly. Love it!

The quality of this Gazebo is amazing. I’m very happy with it.

I’ve had this for 4 years. It’s held up well but it took 2-5 people at various stages to assemble, so get your people together or pay for assembly (which would be worth it, in my opinion). We sealed the stain after assembly but here’s why I’m here now writing a review. The stain comes off with soap and water at this point. We haven’t stained it in a few years, so maybe this wouldn’t have happened if we were annually staining. Otherwise it’s sturdy and it’s withheld the winds in tornado alley.

Made very well.Holds up to the weather

I love my Meridian Gazebo!! I had a few difficulties in putting it together but worked thru them. This is definitely a good quality made cedar gazebo. Heavy Duty!! Since I live on top of a mountain and the wind is blowing a lot. Is one of the reasons I bought this item and with snow amounts. So far its holding up fine! I have enclosed the one side and have a bar on the other side. I would like to add photos at some point. But again I highly recommend this Gazebo!!

Wow, it was a project and a half, but well designed and sturdy. Ridiculous that the company got cheap on the rings that hang from the center -- they are the only plastic parts on the gazebo. Should have been metal. Instructions were generally very good except for the critical part of putting the foam strips into the side trim on the roof sections -- there was no way to tell where that foam was supposed to go and we put it where the drawing seemed to show it (center of the bend) and that made the trim stick out so much the roof pieces would not fit together -- added several hours of aggravation to the build. I did a shou sugi ban finish that also added some time to my build, but well worth it IMO. Overall, it came out great and I would recommend it -- just be aware that the metal side trim on your roof pieces needs to be flush with the wood, so if the foam makes the trim stick out on the sides, then you're in for some fun. Otherwise everything went together smoothly and it's a great gazebo.

Putting it together was definitely some work, but it came out nice. Only complaint is the roof leaks.

I believe the gazebo will be great! My issue is with the installation. I called Wayfair before ordering this unit about the assembly. I was given the contact information for Handy. I spoke with Handy to INSURE they would assemble it since the assembly wasn’t offered on line during the order process. I spoke with a Handy red representative. Advices him of the item I was buying, provided him a picture showing the item # and description. I was assured that Handy would assemble it. I just needed to request after I ordered. I contacted Handy after I placed the gazebo order. I received a message from Handy that they couldn’t provide the service. I’m now left trying to find a company to put the gazebo together for me. Needless to say, I’m disappointed in this because I went above and beyond to make sure this would not be an issue. I was told that it would not be, but now I find myself in a predicament. I purposely wanted to ensure that Handy would install the unit before I purchased it. If they would not then I would have selected a different gazebo. I feel a bit left out in the cold from that perspective.

Love it! Took about 16 hours and 4 people. Also used impact drill.

One of the best purchases I've ever made!
