Not as sturdy as it look on the website. Specs say it's only 8ft tall, but it's actually 8ft 3in tall, when your trying to put this under an overhang, this makes a huge difference. Customer service was very nice, but absolutely no help. I was given a website to upload pictures to prove their measurements are off on the website and never heard back. You're probably better off not ordering from this company, but if you're forced to, I would stay clear of this pergola.
