It’s not terribly hard to put together. That’s the only positive I can think of.  This pergola is aging very poorly and has fallen apart in a variety of different ways including the screws just coming off, all the seams bending and breaking, one of the grommets on the cover getting torn off etc. I will update this review with some photos. Essentially this pergola would be great for an indoor setting but it doesn’t handle the basic weather elements well at all. We are reinforcing it so it can continue to serve us for a couple more years since it’s too late and cumbersome to return but 0/10 do not recommend.
