The pergola was well packaged, directions were good, and all parts were there. It went together well with only a couple bolt holes difficult to thread. Overall it went well with two people assembling, except a third person was needed to erect the main frame.

The pergola is beautiful and looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. We got the 14' x 10' and I put it on a 12' x 15' paver section. It has great space underneath and holds our seven-seat patio set with room to spare. Assembly was not hard and I did it myself, although make sure you have a power drill because there are a LOT of screws to tighten. It is everything and more that we hoped for.

Everyone asks "Where did you get this?" We love this and I didn't realize how much it would add to our patio. It has created a poolside dining area with just the right amount of shade. I have a large round table that seats 8-10 people. There is plenty of room and I put a 10x10 outdoor rug under it. The electrical feature is perfect for plugging in blenders or phones. It is extremely heavy and well built. My husband and one helper put it up but could of used an extra hand! Delivery was easy and all parts were included in 4 boxes. Assembly directions were self explanatory.

I put all most of the parts together and laid them out on a snowmobile trailer. Then my wife and I put it up one day. Just two mid 60 year olds. Everyone that has seen it loves it . My only complaint is that the shade sail wants to curl up in between the corner tie downs. Love the no maintenance !!'

Solid well made product. Installer mounted it in concrete footers on paver brick patio and commented on the good construction of the product. Looks great and included shade and box with electric and usb outlets a nice bonus. Have received many compliments about the pergola. Well worth the price. Highly recommend.

Love love love this pergola and our new outdoor « room ». The only thing we are waiting for is the shade canopy for our size pergola which is on back order. My husband put it together by himself in a few days; said it was easy peasey, just a bit time consuming. If I can figure out how to include a photo, I will!

We've had the Stratford steel pergola for a month and like the look and features. The steel frame stands up well in high winds and the the electric hookup is perfect for connecting to string lights. The canopy shades well, but doesn't stay tight in winds over 5 mph. There are only four corner straps to attach it and it would be much better if it had four more tie downs at the midpoint between each corner. The corner straps do not have a good mechanism to hold them tight, so the strap loosens on the buckle even in light wind. The pergola should have low maintenance since it is painted steel which is a top feature for us.

Bought this after much back and forth about style and not knowing if I would really like it- LOVE IT!! Quality and style- wonderful! Would have bought a little bigger if it was offer in a larger size!

Came together easily. Took 2 people most of the time and a 3rd person really makes it safer through some steps. Like the look, it's sturdy, the finish looks like it is never going to fade or peel. Very satisfied with it.

I have problems with carpenter bees boring into wood structures around my home so we chose the powder coated steel in white. Beautiful design, sturdy construction and ease of assembly makes this pergola a winner.
