Purchased as part of a DIY backyard refresh. Easy to assemble with well marked parts and detailed directions. Took 2.5 days including setting cement pillars for the posts. Did require 2 people for some parts of the assembly. The one thing we did that was not part of the directions was to use a couple of spacers in setting the long top slats to ensure the slats were straight and equally spaced. Perfect size for extending our outdoor living area!

I've been looking at this gazebo for quite some time, but I kept second guessing it! By the time I purchased it, I was really getting excited! I must say it turned out exactly like I wanted it to look! I love it so much. I paid three guys to come out and set it up for me. It took them probably about five hours. I love it. I love it. I love it. I sit outside every single day. In perfect bliss!! Best money ever spent!! ***Attempted to attach photos several times different days and it won't “perform the operation”. Ugh. But love this pergola!

We had a few contractors give us bids for up to $55,000 a patio cover. Instead, I butted two of these end to end to make a 28' x 10' and covered it with metal roofing purchased locally. With everything all said and done, including tax, metal roofing and delivery, and a handyman to do most of the assembly work, the grand total was right around $3,500. The metal roof, once secured, really locked everything down tight. There is very little movement in any direction. I'm very pleased. Now I'm going to seal the wood with CedarSeal and install some rolling blinds. Good luck with your project!

I paid to have this pergola delivered and assembled. It took several weeks to be delivered. It was only delivered and not assembled. I was told I had to call another place to get it assembled. After 2 weeks I still can't get somebody to tell me when it will be assembled. It does no good to have 3 boxes sitting in the middle of my garage floor. Horrible business practices and very misleading at the time of purchase.

In my opinion this is a nice addition to our backyard patio. I took a couple days setting up. laid out all the materials and then started the setup. a couple pieces that were missed in thr drilling process but simple fix. You want a nice pergolla then purchase this one. Heavy duty but easy to setup if you have any construction knowledge at all.. if you dont have construction knowledge it is still pretty simple. Written directions and an online tutorial available. (which I didn't use). It was also on sale at Sams club which was a selling point and happened to be the last one at my nearest club. if you want a pergolla.. get this one is my suggestion.

Buyer beware—DO NOT pay for assembly through Go Configure! After paying $500 for assembly, we are now having to hire a second contractor to finish the job. While the pergola itself seems very nice, we are incredibly frustrated with the Go Configure assembly. First of all, we called ahead to confirm that assembly included anchoring the pergola to our concrete patio—the person we spoke with confirmed that it did. On our first scheduled assembly date, the crew did not show up. We waited another 9 days. On the rescheduled date, the crew assembled the pergola but did not anchor it. When we asked them to, they lied and said the anchoring hardware was not included. When we showed them the hardware and the instruction manual (anchoring is a step in the instructions), they then claimed that anchoring was not part of assembly. We called Go Configure, and again, the person we spoke with said anchoring WAS included. They called the crew, then when they called us back, the story had changed. Now they said anchoring was not included. The reason we paid $500 extra for assembly was because we had been told anchoring was included. Had we known it was not, we would have saved $500 and hired our own contractor to assemble and anchor it. Now we are stuck with an unfinished pergola, and we’re going to have to pay someone else to anchor it. This is completely unacceptable that we have been left with an unfinished pergola. We want a refund for the $500 assembly fee.

Beautiful pergola! I’ve had my eyes out for something beautiful, fairly easy to assemble, and complementary to my little backyard space. My mom, dad and I put it together in a day (took us about 7 hours from start to finish). It’s lovely, was not missing any parts. Be careful with putting the top pieces of wood on - it’s not one long strip, it’s 3 smaller strips you secure together. We broke one, but finagled it together without an issue. I love it! Perfect space to enjoy a drink with family and friends after a day of work! Unfortunately the system isn’t working to let me upload a photo.

Poor design. The beams for the long sides have doublers to keep the beam stiff. However the short sides do not causing cracking when attempting to raise them up. Also, it's poor quality wood. One of the main posts has a split approx. 2 feet long which if left unfixed, will allow moisture in cause rot from this inside out .

This is a great value for any homeowner wishing to build one. Minimal experience needed. Would recommend a inexpensive impact driver to save assembly time all parts of laid out with numbers and instructions are very detailed. I had to shorten mine 1 foot which was not a big deal for me. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to build one yourself. The cedar is much lighter to handle than pressure treated wood and it smells great.

I have never had a "kit" to build something where every hole lined up, not only was all the hardware there, but there were extras of every piece, and it all went together easily. My sone and I did most of the work, and we had a third helper for a couple hours to erect it and attach the side beams. 6 1/2 hours from start to finish it was done. I really like this Pergola and am very pleased with this purchase.
