This is a great looking pergola! The metal is a medium gray color and the canopy is a beautiful teal color. It’s nice that you can open and close the canopy and lock it in place. I put it together with help a couple times to hold pieces up while a bolted them together. The plastic covers for the bolts are incredibly difficult to install. I ended up placing a board over them to hammer them on because they kept popping off. One of the pieces did have an obvious dent on it and several were scratched even with all the bubble wrap around them. All in all, a good purchase for a great price.
