BEAUTIFUL.   perfect in every way, made in the USA, and exactly where i spend time outside in the summer and fall afternoons, reading.  my husband didn't feel he could take time off work&travel to build this himself (though he felt he could have done so, had he chosen), so we hired someone between their jobs to construct.  they stated that it was not difficult to follow directions.  two people made the job better.  one could not handle it,  not efficiently.  the end result is a lovely structure that looks so much more expensive than it really is.  this white structure sits at the end of our home, where we ran field-stone out to where we also laid field-stone under the structure.  it took time and effort, but we love the end result.  the area is big enough for furniture. we currently have a (wayfair) adirondack chair w/ attached ottoman and a side table, and it is perfect for me. however, there is honestly room for more furniture.  i LOVE this pergola.
