This was delivered easy-peasy and, though it took some time, was simple for 2 people to assemble. It is sturdy and, in Florida's high winds, isn't likely to go anywhere. We love this pergola!. It took our backyard area to a new level, beauty and usefulness.

I purchased this to be the foundation of a larger project that my wife tasked me with. As my woodworking skills are basic I wanted a solid structure as the foundation that I could then have confidence in adding to. We are delighted with the finished product because of the foundation it was built upon

Put this together over two days by myself. Construction was easy, and all holes and hardware matched up perfectly. The instructions in the app were clear and easy to follow. Normally when assembling things, I’ll make a mistake or two and have to disassemble and reassemble parts. This wasn’t an issue due to the interactive nature of the app. The existing finish was adequate, and I added another two coats of stain to be sure that it was protected. It’s been up for about 8 months, and it looks just as good today as it did when I assembled it. This is a good sign since the sun in Phoenix can be brutal. Of course, I can’t say how it holds up in wet environments. I’m thinking about trying to order another set of small slats for the top to increase the shade provided. I will check the hardware for tightness at the one year mark, but so far everything seems tight and sturdy. I would recommend this pergola to anyone.

We are in arizona so its great for the yard plus gives us some shade when we put corrugated metal sheets over the top that look and work great. Two smaller pieces of wood were slightly damaged but the company sent them straight out to us with no argument so that was good. have to say it really makes the yard look brilliant plus it came with the power unit so we can run electricity to it and from there we have things running like a small sound bar for relaxing to. Its pretty easy to put together, we found assembling the main rafters first helped as we could do it indoors, the only thing is you need two people to help put it together outside with the posts. Also like the plastic bases for the posts to sit on so the water from when it rains doesn't rot the bottoms of them. FYI when they deliver it they just leave it on the driveway, you have to move it yourself and it comes in two boxes.

I have purchased 2 of these pergolas, one for each my front and back patio. I am a 58 yo female and have assembled them both with a little help from my daughters. I can’t say enough about the quality of this product. The kit comes with everything you need but a few tool, the directions are easy to follow and more importantly all of the pre-drilled holes are spot on. These pergolas are beautiful, substantial and top quality. Mine have been tested with 35 mph winds and held up great. I cannot recommend this product enough.

Extremely happy with our purchase. We originally got a quote to build a custom cedar pergola and it came in around $6,500! After looking thru several options we went with the Somerville, it was cedar which was my main requirement as well as the clean modern lines. The color was a bonus and size is wide enough to comfortably fit our outdoor dining set. I ordered 2 sets and my husband made some modifications and turned it into 1 large pergola at a fraction of the costs the custom build would have been. Added some string lights and it's the perfect addition to our yard!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really enjoy our purgola. It is is very sturdy and heavy. We have a lot of wind here in South Dakota, but have no concerns about it blowing over. Assembly was not too difficult, but recommend three or four people to help.

This is a very nice pergola that has added a cozy and elegant touch to our patio. We liked it so much we bought another one for our side yard! We sealed it before putting it up, and the assembly was pretty straightforward. We had one piece that splintered a little and their customer service was fabulous.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I re-stained it with a waterproofing stain with a color of our choice. There was nothing wrong with the stain it came with but, since we had to waterproof it, we chose a different color, and it looks beautiful! We have not anchored it yet, but it is holding steady to some strong winds. The pergola is kind of heavy, once assembled, and we are trying to figure out how to lift it up so we can place the plates/footers and anchor it. Love it thus far!

This thing was a beast to take home from the store, and it definitely takes 4 or more people to put it together. I recommend reading through the manual a few times before trying to put it together, and recommend being very organized! Other than the difficult traveling and install…. This thing is solid! Very beautiful. Great addition! It is real wood so there are a few chips/defects, but I think it adds to the backyard charm. My husband thinks we will leave it behind if we move but NOPE! I’m taking this with us! Love the look. We added lights to it and throw a shade cloth on top if needed to battle away the sun if needed.
