This pergola was a great addition to our backyard. Was easy to put together, I was able to assemble this by myself using clamps as my second pair of hands. The sunshade is a nice bonus feature for the summer months and is removable. Recommend that you seal the wood prior to assembly with Thompson water seal, it is much easier to do before rather than after.

Very pleased with this pergola. Exactly what I was looking for and looks great in my yard. The only thing i didn't like was the screw heads ( and there's like 400 of them) are Robertson, square, head screws. Make sure you have extra bits since it only comes with one. Me and 2 of my friends got it done in like 7 hours. You really need at least 3 people to assemble this.

I’ve been looking for a couple years for the perfect pergola. This pergola I found online on the sams website. It’s a weathered grey shade and looks like it was made for my area. I will be adding square flower pots for trailing annual vines. I love love it. We only had 1 split board for the bar. I called and the staff was friendly and my board will be shipped. My husband assembled the entire pergola by himself. When I came home from work I was surprised. He’s wonderful

The Pergola is the perfect complement to our large deck. It took my husband and I three days to put together. The instructions were easy to follow and every piece went together nicely. We are very proud of the end result. We also purchased the stools that went with the bar area and this addition made the whole project complete. I encourage anyone looking for a pergola to consider this one. You will not be disappointed.

You have to remember this a mass produce kit not everything is perfect but it was very acceptable. It looked very nice and was not that hard to put together but it will take you 2 / 3 days. Don't rush putting it together read the instruction first and lay out the parts. They are well marked but you should put parts altogether according to their numbers so you can find them as you need them. Put the unit together and then go back and make needed adjustments. The biggest complaint I had was the 4 inch screws were slightly bent and using a hex drive was stripping out the heads because of it. There are a lot of 4 inch screws and I should of just bought new ones. Instead I over drilled the holes half way which help the problem. On longer screws you need to pre-drill the holes they give you a 1/8 inch long bit to due that. I also recommend Irwin clamps, they push and pull as need and they are your second pair of hands.

Only negative is the canopy top does not hold the water. If u are looking for waterproof this is not.

Very pleased with the quality. Love the color. Just finished putting it together and can't wait for our first oergola party!

This Pergola is beautiful. I expected 2 ft larger. They measured to the rooftop outer corners instead of inside. The actual dimentions are 10' x 8'. To me that's a big deal becuse there is no way your going to return this after you put it together and realize this. The instructions are clear and it's easy (but time consuming).

Very poor workmanship of the wood it self. Knot holes were the screw are to go. Some knot holes were out, we had to fill with wood putty. They did not get the pre- drilled holes in the right spot. A lot of bowing in the bar. You should take a closer look at your source from China, does not make Sam's Club look good.

Hello... This is to let you know that I am extremely disatisfied with my order. Please see the picture attached. It shows a huge crack due to the bad quality. Thank you, Paula
