This pergola works for what I'm looking for, but the canvas cover is very thin which makes it look cheaply made. It's like a rain umbrella material instead of thick canvas. That was the most disappointing part. I do like that the cover can be pulled lower on one side or the other, depending on where the sun is shining. The poles have nice toppers (finials?) that make it look nice and I was able to fit four chairs and table under it, but just barely. My nephew and his friend put it together in just a few hours and said it was not difficult to assemble. Over all, for the sale price, this will do just fine!
