We bought the Somerville 14 x 10 Pergola about a month ago as a complement to our recently installed brick paver patio and we absolutely love it. The design and size are perfect for our needs, providing just the right amount of sunlight filtering and shade during the brightest, sunny afternoons. Since we have a front porch with space for dining, we decided to make the patio a space for sectional lounging and we've spent countless days and evenings her ever since. The gray finish looks natural, the quality of the wood and the construction components are high, the assembly was straightforward (2 people over the length of an afternoon) and there were no issues with the shipping or delivery. The built in electrical outlets are a bonus. Highly recommended.

I ordered the Somerville 14 x 10 Pergola from Sams Club in January for a steal of a deal at $799. The only catch was I had to pick it up from the store. It was a bit of a bear to get it in the back of my truck, but I got it home safely. My FIL and I put it together a couple of weekends ago and so far I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I would have paid more and been happy, but with the price I paid the value cannot be beat. A couple of pieces of wood did get damaged during installation, but Backyard Discovery is replacing them for free along with providing some additional stain. I cannot say enough great things about their customer service. I called them on Monday and the replacement pieces are scheduled to arrive on Thursday. Holly and Chelsea were great! This company stands behind their products, so I would not hesitate recommending them to friends and family.

We’ve had this pergola for a year now and we still absolutely love it. It adds the perfect structural element to our new backyard concrete patio. Hang some lights for some fabulous night time ambiance. The only negative I would have to say - the instructions say 2-3 people to assemble, but I was happy we had a 4th person to help with the step where you have to stand the very heavy leg posts up; that part was really tricky and impossible for us with only 3 people. Otherwise the assembly was straight forward. We are very happy with our purchase!

The delivery was on the exact date and time as arranged. Good start. The cardboard wrapping around the product (there were two long boxes) was heavy duty thereby protecting the product from shipping damage. There was no damage. That wonderful smell of fresh cedar permeated the room so I new the product was of good exterior quality. When we opened the boxes, it looked like some sort of AI (artificial intelligence) had packed them. A work of art in itself. I began to realize that this pergola package might be of high quality after inspecting the hardware. It was heavy and of high quality, individually labeled and it was all there. There were also paper instructions concerning the assembly which were reasonable but a hair intimidating. But fear not. Here’s the part that blew my mind. They include software by BILT intelligent instructions which you can download on your phone or iPad that show you step by step in a CAD format each step of the way. The pergola turned out fabulously.

We love our pergola and it is very sturdy and functions really well in our backyard. The power outlets are a huge plus! Great quality and my husband assembled it completely alone (I wouldn’t recommend that but he’s stubborn and wanted to prove a point). 2-3 people is probably ideal to complete it efficiently. It also holds a 50 ft rope of string lights nicely.

We purchased this pergola last summer. We are very pleased with the materials, the ease of construction and the beauty of this pergola. We’ve had several before and none of them were of this quality. The size was perfect for our deck. We added some polycarbonate sun panels for this summer season intense sun.

We purchased this pergola a year ago when we were in the middle of our backyard renovation. I'd dreamt of having this pergola in my yard for about ten years, and it's everything I'd hoped for! You definitely need multiple people to put it together, and I highly recommend getting footers poured so you can secure it. My husband had four friends come over for a "barn raising" of sorts, and that was super helpful. It's stood up to all kinds of weather, including some seriously high wind gusts. It's just gorgeous! We added market lights (that power box is super handy) and put down pavers below for a real oasis.

I purchased this pergola several months back but had to wait for my brother to come into town before I could set it up. Took about a day and a half for us (65 & 69) to get it set up. Not difficult at all. Added some lattice on the top and I now have some extra shade on my house.

I just bought this a few weeks ago and my husband and brother in law put it together yesterday. It took them about 6 hours to do which I think could have been done in less time if the pieces had some kind of labeling on it. It was kind of confusing to figure out which piece the directions were talking about. Also some of the holes didn’t line up with the other ones when connecting it together. Overall though it is a very nice and sturdy pergola and a perfect addition to our patio.

This pergola is so beautiful in my backyard, it's a delight sitting under it, even better looking at it everyday. Not to mention the countless compliments I get. Very well built, love the electric panel attached, I had my electrian add electric and it worked exactly as it should. So completely happy with this purchase!
