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.

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 thing was a beast to take home from the store, and it definitely takes 4 or more people to put it together. I recommend reading through the manual a few times before trying to put it together, and recommend being very organized! Other than the difficult traveling and install…. This thing is solid! Very beautiful. Great addition! It is real wood so there are a few chips/defects, but I think it adds to the backyard charm. My husband thinks we will leave it behind if we move but NOPE! I’m taking this with us! Love the look. We added lights to it and throw a shade cloth on top if needed to battle away the sun if needed.

I was surprised at the quality of the materials. The flawless stained finish was uniform and durable. The hardware was complete and easy to work with. Instructions were clear and thorough. Assembly is straightforward if you pay attention to the directions. The only thing I can criticize is that one of the reabbertsd on a rafter was cut too short, but that was easily fixed with a handsaw.

We bought this a year ago for out patio. It really elevated the look of our yard, and we receive so many compliments on it. It took about 3 of use to put it together and some patience, but it was doable. I am so happy with our purchase, it is exactly what I was looking for. It should be noted that there are a few flaws here and there in the wood, but nothing major. It is to be expected when something is real wood versus pressed board.

This was delivered easy-peasy and, though it took some time, was simple for 2 people to assemble. It is sturdy and, in Florida's high winds, isn't likely to go anywhere. We love this pergola!. It took our backyard area to a new level, beauty and usefulness.

We are so thrilled with our new pergola! It ended up being a fraction of what local places were going to charge us, and it looks great. Well worth paying for installation, however I wish we'd known ahead of time that the installers do not attach it to the concrete. We're just hoping our winds aren't so strong that it blows away.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I built a patio in our back yard and we added this pergola to that space. It is now a beautiful feature that is also functional with the power ports. I was able to sting some colorful outdoor lights around the top of the pergola so we can set the mood after dark. I was also able to build a removable projector mount that allows us to watch movies projected onto a nearby wall. We're really enjoying the space more than we imagined! Building the pergola was a little challenging at times because a couple of the long bolts cross-threaded into their respective nuts...so they ended up locking up and stripped the threads. There were a couple of extra nuts/bolts so it wasn't a major concern. However even with the extras, there was 1 long bolt that I simply have to live with knowing that it didn't fasten completely/tightly. All-in-all, I am very satisfied with this pergola and would definitely recommend it to others.

I bought two of these for my back patio. I was able to build and install both by myself. Both went up and were fastened to the concrete in one weekend. I applied a clear weather protectant after install. No damage upon delivery, but some cracks/wood splitting has happened since it was built. Overall, I am happy with them and for the price, would do it again.
