The wood is more grey than orange. We ended up doing two coats of cedar stain (oil based) to get it more like the picture. But other than that, it took my husband and farther in law about 8 hours to assemble. It looks amazing, and we love it. Great value for money!

This is the most beautiful item in my back yard. I purchased the pergola after being trapped in the house for over a year and many hours spent on Pinterest. I couldn't wait for it to arrive as I had it delivered to the house. On delivery day, I was so excited. It arrived in three boxes and I slowly unloaded and took piece by piece into the back yard to build. I couldn't find anyone to build it as all contractors in TX have been busy since the winter storm, so I decided to build it myself (49 year old self proclaimed handy woman). As long as you follow the directions, it's a breeze. It took two weeks, but I decided to take my time with this one. I also painted and stained it a nice chocolate color. My husband helped me stand up the assemblies, but other than that, it really can be a one person job. I hung curtains from it am waiting on the sun sail to be delivered. It looks absolutely amazing and is the perfect addition to the garden. It is sturdy, easy to assemble and looks way more than it cost. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to make their back yard more like a sanctuary like I did. Thank you Yardistry.

This was a long time coming. I was considering building one from scratch and this for a few years. When I saw this pergola, the work was already done. All I had to do is assemble. It is very well manufactured, with premium materials. Very happy with the outcome.

Bought this at a great price in comparison to others on the market. I was very impressed with the packaging and extremely pleased with the straightforward instructions. The best surprise was that each piece of wood was numbered, which really helped with assembly. Took 3 guys about 6hrs - that included levelling and positioning. We did have an issue with one screw defect but it didn't halt the project for long. The end product is beautiful - exactly as described and frankly looks just like the photo on the net. Good quality, good price and well thought out. I highly recommend this pergola!

We just assembled & installed this product over the last 2 days, very impressed with the wood, the hardware, great instructions for assembly, and ease of assembly. My husband and I installed it ourselves over 2 days. It's extremely solid & actually better than we had anticipated; it it a welcome addition to our patio.

We have been searching for some time for a pergola for our back yard. We saw this one and knew we had to get one. It was fairly easy to build, as the instructions we well done. It looks really nice and provides a decent amount of shade. Very sturdy construction. Looking forward to spending a lot of our summer under this pergola. It did arrive slightly damaged from shipping, so I contacted their customer service. They offered to send me a replacement post immediately, which I didn't feel was necessary for a few minor gouges. So they sent me a bottle of sealer to paint on the damaged spots, which I appreciated. You can't go wrong with this purchase!

A nice outdoor space! I purchased in spring of 2021 and enjoyed it up until we purchased our now home in early 2023. I enjoyed it lol so much I do plan to purchase again for our current outdoor space. I know the current owners are enjoying it. It also fit our bulky patio furniture perfectly. Being in the North with all 4 seasons the color held up nicely. Excellent purchase!

Just finished up installing and I am happy, it is not 100% perfect but 99%. Everythibg matches up together like a dream. I understand it was pre stained and It does smell as such, I wish it was stained too. I find the manual does not mention about should be stained or not immediately after install. I am happy with my pergola. Good stuff guys keep up!

I got it assembled last year October 2021. I was easy to assemble. Not even a year later, all my four posts are cracking. This is very disappointing. I wish I could give it a five star but I can't due to the defective posts. I wish this could be fixed.

I just received the pergola few days ago, and upon opening the package I was pretty disappointed with the poor wood finish of most of the pieces. Maybe I expected too much for the so called "pre-stained" lumber, but the wood surface is rough and looks completely untreated, and the colors of some connecting pieces are noticeably lighter/darker than the others. I thought I could just cope with it by sanding and re-staining the whole thing, but then it comes the beam assembly.... the cut of the most connecting pieces are unique that they don't align properly when put together... I tried so hard to mix and match the 20+ pieces to get a better assembly but still ended up with many of beam assemblies in a bad shape. If it is only few pieces, I would think they are just defective parts, but then having so many of them makes me worried if it is a quality issue. Really regret my purchase
