This pergola is exactly what we were looking for. Took a while to put together- my husband did it with a friend (3-4 hours). Weve requested a replacement canopy as there is some damage to the fabric, and one of the posts had a couple marks, but Wayfair is great with their customer service so we arent worried about getting a replacement. The canopy is not at all water resistant (which we figured, but worth mentioning). The water penetrates even in a light shower. We are super happy with it though! And finally got to put our wedding lights and Vietnamese honeymoon lanterns on display! Now we just need furniture
