Assembly took a few hours longer than estimated in the instructions, but at the cost of cedar these days, I'm satisfied with the purchase. Also, the directions instruct the assemblers (took three at one point) to install the four plastic post foot covers on last - after the pergola is assembled. Not a good recommendation, as the pergola is 400+ pounds heavy at that final juncture.

The pergola itself is awesome!! We chose to put it together ourselves. Took some time but we got it together just fine. Only problem we came across was some warped boards which makes it very difficult for holes to match up. Also a couple of boards had some gowges. Wish they would have included a small can of stain so we could try to cover them up. All in all we love how it looks. Looking forward to getting some lights to put on it!!

We were very excited about getting this pergola. The wood is a beautiful color. All pieces and parts were delivered. A few of the pieces are slightly damaged and some of the wood wasn't cut to fit perfect and was bowed but it was minor issues we can cosmetically fix. It's looks beautiful put together and I can wait to hang lights and fill it with furniture and share it with family and friends.

I am a former home builder and the brockton pergola was the right size for my patio project, me and two men put it togather in 6 hours and the instructions were easy to follow. I would say most do it your self people could put it togather in a reasonable time

Beautiful, modern looking pergola. Seems sturdy and overall happy with the purchase. Took about 6 hours to put together with 2-3 people (mainly for extra hands to hold things in place.) The boards were pretty warped in a lot of places and you had to pull them together forcefully to get things to line up right. Very pleased overall.

Very nice it took 2 handy men about 6 hrs to put together

WonderfulPergola! We love it! Don’t hesitate to purchase. My husband is pretty handy and was able to finish it in one day with a little help from a friend.

Love this! We did see a cheaper one at the store but this was a-lot sturdier! However our pillar has a crack down it so sad hoping it does not get any worse because we have it all assembled now! But love this completely!

Great looking pergola once assembled. Some of the wood was a little bent, or warped, but nothing major and straightened out with a little push before screwing.

Exactly what the yard needed. The unit was not a bad assembly. Took about 5 hours for 2 people. Instructions could be a little clearer but just need to really review the images to make sure you align the holes as needed..learned that on the the first joist..after that..pretty easy set up and it looks Great!
