We love the look and style of this pergola and would definitely recommend this product. Do bear in mind however, that it DOES need two people to set up and if you are not handy with tools, its going to take you 4-6 hours or more to set up. As has been mentioned, the hardware can be a little tough as all the bolts/screws have been painted, but my husband was able to make them all work. Find screws and bolts that work together (some pairs worked together better than others) BEFORE you get on the ladder! We also had a few slightly warped boards which made some of the fitting a little tough but we were able to make it work and it didn't affect the look of the finished product. We thought we were going to have to make some recuts but boards that didn't fit at first fit as it went together. Also someone mentioned its not cedar but pine. My husband said the same thing: smells like pine, light weight wood and we had a little sap on the boards. Overall, we LOVE it and it really is a beautiful addition to our yard.

Very happy with finished product, wood was not warped or bowed, straight forward assembly. Was able to assemble with one person, but two recommended when two sides are brought to vertical and until first crossbeam installed to hold sides stable I sealed all wood before assembly by using a roller. A couple bolts cross-threaded, but extra hardware provided, so no problems. Would buy product again.

I bought the pergola about a month ago and planned to put it together right away. Then we had snow! The pergola was safe in its boxes in garage. When we finally got to it; we counted all the pieces and inspected for damage/warping etc. We read reviews and hints from others extensively prior to buying. There was some issues, we called the number provided and were treated wonderfully! Replacement pieces came, we sealed each piece and were ready to build. Then ran into another problem with the hardware. Again called the service line and replacements were here within days. The pergola is now mostly build as we are having some landscaping done but looks fabulous as it awaits to be moved to it's final place. Please note the instructions could be better. A video would be awesome. No issues so far with alignment but we made sure it was square. (Read reviews). If you have issues the company is very helpful! If you are hiring someone to build it, you may want to find one the company recommends.

Received the pergola, checked boxes, everything seemed to be in order. Now the hard part, putting together. Well surprisingly easy, only drawback was the 93 plus degree heat we had to put up with, so we took it slow took 3 days because of heat. Otherwise all went smoothly and it looks very nice for the price. Yes it is a cedar out of China, and since we weren't sure how we were going to like it, the price was right!

We looked at many different pergolas before deciding to go with this. It is absolutely perfect for our back yard. It is sturdy, and I have no doubt that it will be able to withstand all the weather elements. We did stain it before we put it together as was suggested. Family and friends have asked where they can buy one too! Shipping and delivery was easy, the delivery company that delivered the boxes were very nice and made sure it was away from the road.

The seller stated we would receive the pergola within 10 to 17 days from order date and we received it on the 10th day. The men who delivered it did a great job and actually carried it into our garage and I'm glad they did because the 2 boxes were quite heavy. The assembly instructions were good, but the hardware not so good. We had to spray WD-40 on the nuts and bolts or else they would bind. I'm not sure why they designed then top support beams in 2 pieces, it would have made more sense if it was 1 piece, and assembly would have gone a lot quicker. Overall it took 3 of us about 4 hours to assemble it and it looks very nice. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

Assembly was not too bad. Will take more than two people for some parts of it it. You will need a ladder and a screw gun/driver, all other tools are in the box. The directions were pretty easy, but you have to pay attention, and put your carpentry/measuring skills to work. It will take the better part of an afternoon. All the hardware parts were there plus a few extra. I did not anchor mine to the ground, its free-standing on my patio. Makes plenty of shade, which is the point. I am very happy with the finished product.

This pergola more than met our expectations. The only issue we had was that it was delivered earlier than the estimated delivery date and we were out of town but they left it where we wanted and in the end we’re glad to get it earlier than predicted.

We bought the 16x12 Beaumont Pergola for our back patio area and we are so pleased with the ease of construction and the quality of the lumber and hardware used to construct it. Our order was delivered ahead of the estimated time and the staff delivering it were very accommodating and professional. The pergola is built of super sturdy, heavy materials and will be going no where for a very, very long time. It's perfectly beautiful and adds so much charm and character to our backyard. We now have a cozy place to entertain and just relax. We've recommended this product to many of our friends and family already! I promise you won't be disappointed if you purchase this product for yourself.

Bought this on sale at terrific price. Husband put it together by himself in 3 evenings after work (so he could work in shade). Went up beautifully. Added a sun shade on top. I am practically living on my deck now. Only problem I had was it got a small chip in a post during shipping. And a mess up from shipper delivering my pergola to wrong address. But that doesn't take away from how satisfied I am with my shade!
