I ordered this Pergola to offer us privacy and it is what I expected.
At first I was a bit skeptical due to the price of the item, this item did drop in price a couple of weeks later and I called customer service to see if there would be a credit for the difference, but was told that the price I paid is what it is. 
However, when it was put up and we had a chance to enjoy it, I have to say that we are very happy with the purchase overall.
This is certainly not a flimsy Pergola, very sturdy and works well with the louvers closed to block out the rain and sun rays.
Great quality! 
You will need at least 3 people to assist with the construction due to assembly. The directions are easy to follow, it is all pictures, no words, but easy none the less.
