So far so good!  We are in the middle of constructing the pergola now.  The kids have been helping my husband and I, and it def helps to have extra hands on deck (to hold the posts, make up the screwwasher assemblies, etc). The parts have been nicely painted, are quite solid and well packaged (we live in Hawaii and they survived shipment nicely!) So far the only feedback is to be very, very careful on Steps 1516 (close up pic and reason for 4 stars) Two torx socket screws (so far) have inside the joists - now we are taking the joist pieces apart to recover them.  2 steps forward, four steps back. ) I expect we will be very pleased with the final result. I’ll post again!
