I purchased this about a month ago. I just love it. I have received numerous compliments from neighbors and friends. The black metal is very classy. I believe it is made well and will give me many years of satisfaction. My only wish is that you could buy shades to mount on the sides.

We needed a space for shade and a space where we wanted to create an outdoor room. We took a space of our outdoor patio to do that. So my husband and I with our sons completed the pergola in 4 hours. Each time I look at the pergola I'm in awe of its beauty and reminded of our time building it. It was actually a lot of fun to build. Each person had their role to play in making it. The instructions were fantastic. I would definitely purchase again from Backyard Discovery. Our sun shade is not in the picture due to the fact that it was 6 inches too short. With that said, once I let them know, they ordered me a new right away. You won't be disappointed with the quality of this pergola. Hopefully you and your family will build one together and enjoy making memories for years to come. bonus feature of the outdoor plug system was great when we added outdoor string lights.

We bought this pergola as a replacement for a "big box store" pergola that we had for several years. The difference is design, quality, ease of assemble and customer service is amazing. We upgraded to a bigger size than we had. The canopy is a much better design than the drape over models. Very happy with the purchase and are considering an attached pergola for our back porch.

This pergola is just what our backyard needed! It's beautiful and we get many compliments. It came in well organized boxes and was pretty easy to put together. Customer service was excelent, responded right away to questions. We now have a nice place on our patio to entertain family and friends!

I finally finished putting this together. It came out better than expected. The material is top quality and the directions were easy to follow. I also used the "Bilt" app which made it so much easier. I do recommend this product. In addition, customer service is top notch. One post was damaged by the delivery service. However, one call and they sent a replacement in a few days. Great product.

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.

Bought this after much research and debate. Price seemed too good to be true. Item showed up as scheduled and delivery was seamless. Comes in 4 boxes on a pallet which are a little heavy but I was able to slide one off of the other with some effort. Directions are simple and easy to follow. I assembled the unit by myself (with a little help from my wife on some of the awkward parts). Directions said 2 men - 10 hours, I did it in about 24 hours total, over about 4 days due to some family obligations. I differed from the directions in that I assembled all of the components at one time and staged them, rather than assembling them at each stage. This way when I was in full assembly mode, I could just grab the components and put them on. I'm 66 years old, in fair shape and was able to put it together with no issues. Note: They provide all of the tools that you will need.... however, do yourself a favor and get a GOOD T-30 bit for your screwdriver, and a GOOD T-30 allen wrench. The ones that they send won't hold up as there are about 300 screws. Follow the direction and you'll be fine. Make sure that it is anchored securely. Mine is mounted to our composite deck, I drilled through the feet and put a 3/4" plywood plate under the decking, bolted it through the deck and the plate using 5/16" bolts and it's rock solid. Another note: the flat washers are only painted on one side to match the color of the pergola..... get someone to assemble each one correctly (painted side up) ... it's the most tedious part LOL

We absolutely love this pergola! From start to finish the whole process was great. Fast delivery, even quicker fix when there was a delivery issue. The clean design really brings life into our previously empty yard, it's our new favorite place to hang out. The instructions were easy to follow when putting it together, and the steel makes me comforted in knowing that it will stand the test of time.

We had this installed the summer of 2021 and have loved having it. The guy who installed it really wanted us to go with a wooden pergola but we insisted on this steel one. When he was finished building it, he said he would be recommending it to others. He was very impressed. We have put a canopy cover on it, and love sitting under it enjoying our backyard.

We bought this pergola last year to protect our renovated backyard and new patio furniture from sun and tree debris. It is very solid, looks great and does the job. Construction is tedious with all of the bolts and washers but I was able to do almost all of it myself other than lifting up the vertical supports and getting it into the air. So far seems to be handling the weather very well. Amazing value vs a custom kit
