Beautiful pergola in fine red cedar. It is solidly set up on a 20 by 20 patio. It took a couple of days with a second person’s assistance some of the time. We followed recommendation to mount the frame before completing the top.

Purchased a month ago. After waiting for a landscape project to be completed and applying a protective sealant I installed it a couple days ago. I am 59 yrs old and was able to install in myself. The quality is on par with the cost of the product. I am a woodworker and could have made this myself. Saved a lot of time and money.

decent quality of materials. exceptions were the longest bolts had threads which all wanted to cross thread. pre drilled holes in the p1 top pieces were not lined up with the base consistantly. with those exceptions, it was actually fun to put up and i did it with help of my wife in 2 days. she loves it.

This looks amazing built paid for installaion not just assembly. This comes with mounting brackets to secure this to the ground and I was told after the assembly as completed that they do not mount it to secure the structure. This is after they put it together and it weights 300 lbs. WTHeck..... when are they suppose to tell you that you will need another souce to mount this securely? I called customer support at the company that "assembles" and they let me know that this is not required. I live within a HOA that requirs all outside structures need to be secured. Sam's CLub description below: "The Pergola is easy to assemble and includes everything you need, including hardware and special foot pads for secure anchoring to the ground".

We love our pergola. It is great quality. Putting it together was quite the task, but all the pieces are already cut. There were a few holes that just didn't line up, but it was easily fixed by my husband. I highly recommend picking up the product from the store, and NOT using the Sam's Club delivery service. The pergola is great though and we love having the added shade and interest to our back porch.

My review is that I live in Texas and in the past 18 years I have used some sort of canopy over the years and had to replace them because of strong winds. This one is put up and cemented in the ground and it will take something stronger then a strong wind to move it. It was simple to assembly and it did take longer then the time stated in the book but now if I did a second one I think there would not be any problem . I think it is outstanding. I have had some very good comments from friends. I should not have to replace this one.

Great item, we were worried about it looking cheap but it's everything but. It has a GREAT presence in our large yard. It's made of Quality Material and my Wife and I put it together in 1 Day. Just take the time and separate all the pieces from the boxes and there should be NO problems.

Decent materials, extra hardware that is pretty good, except for the long bolts which, as has been said, occasionally cross thread. Put it up in about six hours with a helper for two of them. As for the pine comment, it smells like cedar to me, and appears lighter than comparable pine. I expect it to weather and fade, but I will not be using a sealer - would rather stain it once a year. If you insist on anchoring it, you must be guarding against a hurricane or a tornado.

I love this pergola! It was easy to put together as it was already precut and stained. Looks awesome next to our pool. I was nervous about if the stain would hold up during the winter, but it looks brand new. This pergola was much cheaper than buying one from Menards or Home Depot. Love it and would definitely recommend it to others!

This pergola was the perfect size to go next to our pool. Assembly was very easy and instructions were very detailed.
