Great product with some assembly and damage issues
The product is great overall, but the holes do not line up and some parts arrived damaged or broke. Because the item is very heavy, taking it down and returning it was not practical. The seller offered a partial refund after discussing the options, which was accepted as a satisfactory compromise. The issue was resolved directly with the seller.
Pros
- + great product
- + seller offered a satisfactory partial refund
Cons
- − holes do not line up
- − some parts arrived damaged or broke
- − very heavy and difficult to return

Assembly Problems and Defective Parts Disappoint
Initial optimism fades during assembly. Knots at drill holes cause screws to pass through, and three bottom pieces split despite minimal screwing. One board is two inches too long, requiring an hour of adjustment and causing the center beam to bow. The bull nose base pieces do not align. The finished structure looks incomplete because trellis beams are not cut to the same length. Hours of work result in cracked pieces needing filler and a bowed center.
Cons
- − knots at drill holes cause screws to pass through
- − bottom pieces split despite minimal screwing
- − one board two inches too long
- − center beam bows
- − bull nose base pieces do not align
- − trellis beams not cut to same length
- − finished product looks half baked

Sturdy Pergola, but Post Size Complicates Installation
This pergola looks strong, is nicely designed, and offers good value for the price. However, the posts are 4.5 inches, a non-standard size that makes finding a saddle or U bracket for securing to concrete footers difficult. The included L bracket is insufficient for high-wind areas like Arizona. Assembly is more challenging than video reviews suggest; the videos omit the step of erecting the built sides, and three adults were needed to prevent bowing. Measuring corner to corner to ensure squareness is advised.
Pros
- + looks strong
- + nicely designed
- + good value for the price
Cons
- − non-standard 4.5-inch posts
- − difficult to find mounting brackets
- − included L bracket inadequate for high winds
- − assembly harder than videos show
- − requires multiple people to prevent bowing
