THIS PERGOLA IS AWESOME!! I was a kind of nervous to begin because of the 4 boxes, and intricate design . We watched the 3-D video, very helpful, and I was feeling a bit more confident. It's really very well built. Here in AZ we have wind!! So we've attached it to pavers with cement under. It was a breeze to put together, my husband and I did most of it, but neighbors that stopped by were very happy to hold uprights while we screwed on the braces. We talked too much to say just how long it actually took us to put it together!! I defiantly would recommend this white steel pergola! It's not going anywhere...and will hold up nicely in the summer heat. Thank You for such a great product with clear instructions

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.

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.

Much better product than initially expected. All the parts were individually wrapped and labled. Instruction booklet was very detailed and easy to follow. Steel is very heavy and sturdy. Looked absolutely beautiful once fully assembled. Would recommend this item to anyone. Excellent customer service. Very responsive and helpful.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great addiction to our deck providing ample shade with a strong and complimentary appearance to the pool area. Part quality is top notch and assembly went flawlessly. Delivery was timely and boxes were undamaged. Totally satisfied with this purchase.

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.

Well-built with clear instructions for the DIY kinda girl. Lots of parts and at least 3 helpers needed to put up the sides initially. Only complaint is the Shade Canopy needs to be Bigger.

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!

Love it… very strong. We had no issues with putting it together and no parts missing or damaged. Only issue… canopy flew off so not tight enough… have to adjust it or get another one at some point.
