Visiting Sam's Club, I saw a wooden pergola and asked the associate if they came in different materials, colors, and sizes. I was told to look at the pergola section on the website as there was a wide variety. Upon reviewing I was pleasantly surprised and immediately made the purchase. The arrival of the pergola was timely. While I didn't go with the Sam's installation team as the date was too far away, I got another team to install and the outcome exceeded my expectations when the pergola was finished. This is now my new zen space. I absolutely love the pergola and would highly recommend it.

I'm very happy with my pergola. It looks beautiful on my patio and is just what I hoped for. I was still setting up everything on the patio when the hurricane hit. It's very sturdy and withstood the hurricane winds without any damage. Love it and recommended it to my friends.

I was really surprised at the quality of this pergola. I'm generally suspicious of things of this nature when they advertise "high quality steel" and for good reason because it's normally flimsy tin! Noy this pergola! When I opened the boxes I blowen away at the thickness of steel. Assembly was a breeze for the most part. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the Assembly directions are about as clear as mud on the installation of certain bolts and we had figure it out on our own.

Me and a friend put my pergola up yesterday. Ages 52 and 65 in decent shape but by no means athletic. We were a little apprehensive in tackling this project on our own when looking at the gazililon pieces. The directions were extremely clear - highly unusual. We didn't make a single mistake! It is stunning. The only complaint is that the shade cloth is 2-3 feet short? I don't get it. I read other reviews and I am glad that someone warned us about being careful not to drop the screws inside the cross beams because it would have been a total pain to get them out. I suggest adding a note about this into the directions. Surprisingly we didn't drop any in there. It is super sturdy too. Very high quality.

I love my pergola. It looks great. It's very sturdy, no doubt i will enjoy it for years to come! Using the tips from other reviews and having the instructions in Spanish, two people were able to complete assembly in about six hours. It looks fabulous.

I purchased two of the 12x10 Pergola's. Both were packaged, and shipped very carefully, arrived in perfect condition. Very heavy structure (about 500 lbs), high quality, aesthetically pleasing, and took 4 hours to put together. Perfect for the AZ heat. Highly recommend buying. I plan to add outdoor curtains to make it look like a cabana. I love it!

THE METAL CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE EASY TO MAINTAIN. THE WHITE COLOR WOULD LOOK REALLY ELEGANT! I LIKE THIS STYLE BETTER THAN THE CORNER...IT WOULD FIT EASIER INTO AN EXISTING LANDSCAPE OR PATIO AREA. AND IT IS A VERY AMPLE SIZE IN COMPARISON TO SOME OF THE OTHERS.

Previously, I wrote a review about how much I love my pergola, and still do. In addition, I have had occasion to call for information twice, and both times I have been very impressed with the staff. Not only are they knowledgeable and professional, they are extremely friendly, polite, and helpful. Backyard Discovery is a company I would most highly recommend. Thank you!

Love my new pergola. This is a quality product and the directions are easy enough to follow. It well built and not flimsy. I would recommend highly to anyone looking at one. The one draw back is the sun shade. It does not cover the entire top. It also has terrible tension tightening buckles. They need to come up with a better product for the shade.

I loved this pergola from the minute I saw it. So much so that we hired contractors to build a deck under it. Our yard gets a LOT of wind so I'd been searching for awhile until I came across the Hawthorne. So we ordered it in December and the four boxes sat in garage for five months waiting for their time to shine. Although the co tractors erected it, I can testify to the clear packaging and labeling. Everything was in those boxes. It is so solid and sturdy. We've had a rainy, stormy few weeks and not even a wiggle. We absolutely love it.
