Nice pergola. Looks great! Only problems were minor correctable. Many of the "purlins" were warped but since the wood is cedar (somewhat flexible) it could be bent into place. Also, many of the purlin predrilled screw holes were misaligned and had to be re-drilled in order the hit the joist below. It took my brother and I about 3 days to complete the assembly making a couple of correctable mistakes along the way. We just put it up last week (the week before Thanksgiving) so I don't know about longevity but I seems very sturdy. There was a few damaged parts but several extras were included so we got by. The damaged parts were ordered and quickly express shipped. It looks great over my hot tub. I covered it with a 10' x 12' tarp for weather protection and added privacy since I live in the flight path of a small airport. The tarp with bungy 4" and 6 " bungy cords in such a way that the tarp is hardly visible until you're immediately under the pergola. All-in-all I'm very satisfied with the product quality and appearance and great customer service from Backyard Discovery. I'd definitely make the same purchase decision. You gotta celebrate when a lot of effort goes into the online evaluation and selection of a product, and the purchase ends up meeting or exceeding expectation's! This one seems to be a winner...time will tell.

I was very impressed with the quality of the pergola. I was initially disappointed that my local Sam’s Club was *out of stock* of the pergola I wanted, but by simply calling the Customer Service line, the representative was able to order one for me. She assured me that I would be contacted about delivery and assembly. Again, I was suspicious, but within a week, the pergola was delivered and the next week it was assembled. I will definitely purchase another item from Sam’s Club on line that needs to be delivered and assembled.

This pergola is a great buy! If your looking for great quality at a great price this is a great fit!

Some of the boards were bowed making it hard to get some screws in on the cross beams. Otherwise it turned out beautiful.

This is definitely a heavy duty pergola built to last. Be sure to purchase from your local SAMS Club as the price is considerably lower.

Love love our addition to our home..... my parents especially enjoys the space morning, noon, and night❤️❤️❤️

Pergola was shipped quickly and without damage. Assembly was time consuming but not overly complicated and looks great when completed. Total assembly time for most people I would estimate in the 8-10 hr range.

Overall, it looks great in our backyard. The directions could’ve been better. For example, it would’ve been nice for them to tell us how far apart the marking should be for the roof slats.

Took a little TLC but worth it. We lacquered the wood first and it highlights better. A little configuring since some holes did not align, but once it was up it looks great.

We love it. It arrived quickly and on time. The installers ( Lynn and Dave from T&T ) were friendly, funny, so cooperative and there quickly. They were done in under two hours and did a wonderful job. By the next day, we had our table and chairs and a little decor and we have been enjoying it daily.
