Purchased this pergola along with the 16x12 gazebo and installation for both..spent ALOT of money. Let me make it clear the 5 stars are for the pergola only. The installation company..GoConfigure..does not warrant any stars. Zero communication with me from them..I had to make daily calls for updates. All I can say is hopefully someone will read this and save themselves the time and money wasted on dealing with GoConfigure.

Kit is well thought out. The wood is not so good. I have had some punkie spots in the legs and there is signs of cracking now starting to show up after one winter season here in Michigan. Over all its ok but I don't know how long it will last. To bad the wood is not from North America.

I purchased the 16x12 Beaumont last fall but had to hold on to it for a month before I could have it put up. I was expecting it to take a while to actually get it and I was going to have the patio decked first. It came in a week!! And it smelled GREAT!! I'd go out every few days to smell the boxes haha I love cedar smell. It may have taken a bit longer to put it up than normal because I wanted it attached to my house so we cut the corbels off of one side. Other than that it went up with no problems and I LOVE it!! The birds love it too. They are always hopping around on it which keeps the cats occupied.

We have a 2 1/2 acre property and adding pergolas to key areas has created places to enjoy the different parts of the property in shade. Pergolas also beautify and have an elegance to them and protect outdoor furniture…all the reasons we purchased 3. The Backyard Discovery products are well made/beautiful with good instructions and good customer service. We purchased a 20x12 and financed it and it made it so easy to buy a larger priced item. Highly recommend the company and products. The items are just as pictured.

Easy to build. Great customer service!

Very good product, the bolts could’ve been slightly longer to help, which would’ve sped up the build. But not disappointed at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very large pergola and was perfect to use all season. We like the size because we can have a table and chairs and still shade the grill!

Definitely a game changer. Everyone always oohs and ahhs over our yard now. It's an easy way to upgrade your backyard into something with a wow factor.

BE AWARE that the 12 x 10 does NOT, I repeat, NOT refer to the size of the footprint as I had expected!!! Somewhat disappointed in the finished size of the product, but we will make it work. The manufacturer needs to make it clear about the actual footprint and finished dimensions in their advertising. I plan to also leave a review of this product on whatever website I find it is being sold. Having said that, the actual construction of this product is relatively simple and straightforward.

Took my wife and I about 4 hours. Instructions are easy to follow. I was truly impressed with the way it went together. All the pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly. It looks great too. I can't express how well “machined” all of the parts were. Sometimes, assemblies can be frustrating. Not this one. It was actually enjoyable, to some degree. We are happy with it. Hopefully, it holds up through the seasons.
