Love this pergola! Made a few mistakes in putting it up but without those it probably takes 3h to install. It’s fairly sturdy. I bought different screws that I could use my drill with to bolt it into the wood deck. It was very well packaged, but couple of the posts had some minor dents. Overall all the pieces were good, none missing. They include a few extra of each of the hardware. It would be nice to have a way to hooklock the canopy in place when it’s not in use (I use a bungee cord). And many of the rubber screw covers didn’t fit (more than the extra provided). 100 recommend.
