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 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.

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.

We wanted something to help with the heat on our little patio. Saw this on line and liked the barnwood color and was the right size for our slab.I and my two grandsons put it together and finished it in about 4 hours. The instructions were right on and everything fit just right. My wife wanted a little more shade so you will notice that I put some grey vinyl lattice on top and it came out beautiful.We are very pleased with our Pergola.

Purchasing this pergola kit saved us time and money versus buying the materials, cutting, drilling, and staining ourselves. The pergola was easy for my husband and I to assemble ourselves. This pergola will be the support for a wisteria in my backyard oasis.

Extremely happy with our purchase. We originally got a quote to build a custom cedar pergola and it came in around $6,500! After looking thru several options we went with the Somerville, it was cedar which was my main requirement as well as the clean modern lines. The color was a bonus and size is wide enough to comfortably fit our outdoor dining set. I ordered 2 sets and my husband made some modifications and turned it into 1 large pergola at a fraction of the costs the custom build would have been. Added some string lights and it's the perfect addition to our yard!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before purchasing the Somerville Pergola our Patio was unappealing. The Pergola is beautiful and made our patio very inviting. We now enjoy sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air. While you can buy cheaper Pergola's you certainly won't get the quality that this Somerville one offers. We absolutely love it!

We put three pergolas side-by-side on our back deck after losing all our trees to a windstorm. It has enhanced the beauty of our home. It provides a beautiful family gathering place. We added a king size sheet to the center for extra shade until are honeysuckles grow up into the roof of the Pergola. I especially like the multi level top; the cross beams are aesthetically pleasing. Using multiple kids gave us the opportunity to see that not all holes pre-drilled holes lined up and it’s difficult to get them perfectly squared. We tried hanging hammock chairs from the frame and that was too much weight and had to remove those. Overall very pleased with the look of the three pergolas side-by-side. We have them standing on a composite wood deck and they slide very easily.

I have purchased 2 of these pergolas, one for each my front and back patio. I am a 58 yo female and have assembled them both with a little help from my daughters. I can’t say enough about the quality of this product. The kit comes with everything you need but a few tool, the directions are easy to follow and more importantly all of the pre-drilled holes are spot on. These pergolas are beautiful, substantial and top quality. Mine have been tested with 35 mph winds and held up great. I cannot recommend this product enough.

We wanted a defined outdoor space on our recently installed patio addition for a table and chairs and this pergola fits perfectly, and the color matches the wood trim on our southwest pueblo style house very well. The sale price at Sam's Club was a great deal also. We hired an installer that also does installs for Sam's Club and they did a great job at about 1/3 of the cost that Sam's Club charges.
