This is an absolutely beautiful pergola and went together very well. A few of the screws weren’t working properly, however, they include extras so this was not an issue. Be very careful when you unpack this as there are some plastic pieces, and some of ours were broken, you’re going to want to make sure you set everything down gently and check over it before assembling to make sure that yours arrive all in one piece! I am pretty sure that the damage was done in transit and I could have asked for new pieces, but we were anxious to get it assembled. We were still able to assemble the product and turn the broken pieces up toward the top so they couldn’t be seen . We absolutely love the adjustable shade! This was easy to put together and at one point did take three people.
