Nice looking pergola but, be warned, there are a lot of pieces to put together and took us about four hours. My main dissatisfaction is with the canopy (and I admit this is something I did not think about when purchasing). It is mostly waterproof and, as a result, in Florida where there are summer downpours almost every afternoon, it collects water in large bubbles that cause the canopy to sag. So every time it rains we have to go out and push the bubbles up and then huge sheets of water rush off and splash and, if you are not careful, you get wet from the knees down. Our options are: Keep doing this until the fall when the rains ease up; install grommets throughout the fabric so water will drain through; install a stiff mesh under the canopy so it will stay rigid and the water will flow off; or buy a new canopy that allows the water to easily pass through. We are still in the "thinking about it" phase.
