We purchased the 10x14’ cedar stain pergola for our indoor retail area, inside our nursery/landscape supply business. And it’s perfect! I tell everyone who asks where to buy one! The shipping was included and no damage. The holes were predrilled with no issues. We printed the directions, which was easier to read. My husband put the sides together before he needed me to help (stood on ladder and held) a short while. He put it all together by himself on a Sunday afternoon. It’s beautiful and I’m still in awe! It’s perfect for our retail area and goes with our wood/outdoor theme.

This is a nice pergola, but I can’t give it 5 stars for the following reasons: 1. Some of the boards were warped when we unpackaged them 2. As a result of the boards being warped, some of the holes did not line up. 3. Written instructions were a little confusing It is nice and sturdy. Because we live in Florida my husband secured the legs to a concrete poured base

Appearance is nice. The pre cut wood does not align, the holes are not drilled all the way and the directions are about as useless as I’ve ever seen on any item that needs to put together. Some of the wood is already splintering. I’ve had it for a week and a half

The package was delivered on the day promised. It was put in our driveway so we opened the boxes an carried the parts to the back yard, which was supper easy since the parts are light and sturdy. My 16 year old grandson did most of the work because I am limited on how much I can lift over my head. We did the assembly is less than a day and it looks great and really sets off our concrete patio. to

The wood is very lightweight. There are short ends that bolt separately and could possibly sag. The stain on it is for aesthetics only. Therefore we stained it to help seal and preserve the wood even though cedar is naturally resistant. We wanted a reddish brown stain to match our trim. We also poured peers to raise the posts up to frame large living room window views to the backyard. Worked out great! Fairly easy build and we love the look.

The kit was delivered to our driveway earlier that expected. We like the quality of the product and attention to detail. We hired someone to put it together and he was impressed with the thorough instructions and accuracy. One of the braces split when being installed. I called for a replacement and had it in a short time. Very helpful and friendly customer service. Our friends are impressed at the quality and price. So are we!

This is a nice, solid pergola. Not too hard to assemble. We had a handful of teenaged boys figure out the assembly with a little adult guidance. Took about 4 hours. We had created some concrete pedestals for anchoring in advance which worked well. It looks good and is quite nice for the price. The reasons for only 4 stars are the hardware and shipping, Some of the screws for the top pieces are a bit cheap and strip easily. We ended up replacing some with higher quality ones. For the shipping it took double the expected time and we received no advanced call about the curbside delivery as promised. I just happened to look out the window and see the truck. If I hadn't been home, they would have just left it on the curb unattended. Other than that, it's a solid item and would consider buying again.

I wanted to wait a few weeks before reviewing. Overall it it a very nice. There are a few areas where you notice the difference between this and a much higher priced item. The long strips on the top are very thin (maybe 1” X 1”), and they are actually 2 smaller pieces joined together. It feels short - needs a footer to lift it by 1’ to get the proportions right. Glad I opted for professional installation- 2 guys with all the right tools completed the job in a few hours.

This pergola is beautiful and assembly went well. The directions were complete and accurate but you need to look at them carefully for the details. It took me alone about 3 hours to assemble the two ends on the ground, and then 4 hours for 3 of us to complete including a couple breaks (it was very hot). We could have done it with two people and one step ladder but it was nice having a third person and 2 step ladders.

Just put up 4 days ago and received it's christening the next day with 2 days of on off heavy rains. Looks terrific. Only issue I had was with the sealer. Used the One Time and it took several days for it to sink in and dry and some places did not absorb. I had 2 guys put it together...took under 4 hours. Although in the home improvement biz for a very long time, this is the first time they put up a kit. They were quite impressed and plan to offer it to their other customers. Being white cedar from China, I'm curious to see how long it holds up to the coastal Carolina winds and sun.
