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.

We bought the pergola to give us some shade and help complete our patio. This is a great set. There were a couple dings in a few pieces of wood but nothing major. Instructions were easy and clear. Hardware is labeled in each package. Two people it is doable but we had a third person and it went together quick. I think the hardest part was anchoring to the concrete. If you are debating on this pergola, I'm here to say do it. You will love it. I also took advantage of sealing it before putting it up. Remember folks this is part of the warranty. Easier to do before it is together the first time.

Great Pergola. Pretty solid. putting it together wasn't difficult. The provided paper instructions in my opinion was confusing but the app was excellent on instruction guidance. The slotted joist pre-drilled screw holes did not match the other predrilled holes to mount on. Some wood pieces were little warped but that's expected of wood. Overall I would recommend this Pergola. Would be nice to know what the finished sealer is so I can do some touch ups.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We're totally smitten with the Backyard Discovery - Somerville 14x10 Pergola in Barnwood. It's got this classic charm that we just love, and putting it together was a piece of cake thanks to the clear instructions. Now that it's standing tall in our backyard, we've got this awesome chill-out zone for us, the kiddos, and our pals. It's like our own little haven for making memories and soaking up good times. Big shoutout – It's turned our outdoor space into something truly special, and we couldn't be happier with it! Cheers to more backyard hangs!

I purchased this pergola at the $799. price and I love it. Was looking for other retailers in the past 2 years that sell a 10x10 pergola over $1,000 dollars compare to this one including electric is a steal. Great for entertainment, family reunion, you name it. Very happy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this over the Summer and am very pleased with it. I also bought a pergola shade to add additional shade in the evening from the sun and hung string lights around it too. If you buy this just watch when you’re putting it together paying extra cloe detail to the wood layout and pre drilled holes. Also make sure your building it where you intend to put it. I built it where it would be easier for me to manage putting it together then afterwards it was the wrong way lengthwise so I wound up standing in the middle under the pergola and lifting it up at balance point to rotate it slowly. Also make sure if you do want to move it you have 4 people with muscle. I’m a big guy and did it by myself but it’s not light once it’s assembled.

I would say this was a near perfect pergola! There were a few issues though so I can't give it five stars as much as I want to. It took me and my 21 year old son about a total of 5 hours to put this together. One thing I would change in the instructions is to build the sides so all four posts are attached, then put it in it's final resting place *before* putting on all the cross beams. This is not exactly light at this point and can only imagine how heavy it would have been had we built it all the way then moved it. Some of the 2x6 cross beams had a slight twist them which caused the 2x2 beams to miss their pre-drilled holes. Fortunately the 2x6's didn't crack while attaching the 2x2's. Speaking of the 2x2's, this is one of the reasons it did not get five stars. A number of them were warped. Because we bossed them around, we were able to get them on mostly straight though. Then the hardware. For the most part, the hardware was great! The cement screws were a joke. I pre-drilled into my cement (have to use a hammer drill) and the bit I used was 5/32" but I still couldn't get them to go in. I guess I should have used a bigger bit? I am glad that each pack of hardware came with two extras since as you can see from the attached picture, one screw had no threads, one bolt had no threads as well was bent, and another bolt was bent beyond usage. Overall, I'd recommend this. It does definitely take two people to build and did go together as long as you follow the instructions and do not tighten any of the bolts until you've got it in place.

I have always wanted a pergola, so I am very happy with this one. I love that it comes with a power outlet which makes it a breeze adding string lights to it. You can sit and enjoy nature; or bring alexa out, plug it in to the outlet, enjoy enjoy some music with a glass of wine. It ceates a wonderful place to relax.

We purchased this pergola this summer. 2 months later Hurricane Laura (category 4 150mph sustained winds) visited our area. Many roofs were tore off of homes (ours sustained major shingle damage). We were expected to find the pergola half a mile away, but there it stood, in the same spot on our back patio. This picture was taken 1 month after the storm hit, there is still massive damage in the area. Lake Charles, Louisiana.

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.
