My wife and I love this pergola! The only issue is one of the beams was bent and we broke one of the corners trying to force it in the end cap. We were super exited and ready to put it together and didn’t think it would break so easily. Fortunately they send you some cement glue to put the end caps on and we tried our best to glue it all back and not be so noticeable. It looks gorgeous and my wife is going to make some red shades to drape over so it can match the furniture on our deck. We have gotten many compliments and a few jealous ‘stares’ from our neighbor  haha that’s a plus. It enhances the beauty of our home
