Absolutely love this pergola! It took 8hrs to build with two adults. We recommend checking for every part first as it orients you to the freaking insane amount of parts. Then, dedicate someone to read the instructions the entire time — the parts look so similar and it’s easy to grab the wrong screw (despite the labeling) after so many hours at it. Totally worth it—we’ve since added string lights and a rug, feels super cozy at night!!
