My wife and I was looking to dress up our back porch off of our home.  We saw this Pergola in a Sam's flyer.  It was a nice fit.   It allowed my wife to dress up our back porch and provided a wonder place to drink coffee in the morning.  It did take longer to build then the manual says and it took three people but it was well worth it.  We love it!  And we have received many compliments not only from family and friends but even strangers who have pulled in the driveway and told us how nice our porch looks!
