The box came to us damages and there were some dents in the wood.  The description was misleading because it said it had a patented system for staking this pergola to the yard.  Did not include stakes.  Phoned the manufacturer - they did not have stakes and could not recommend a brand or where we could get some. Very frustrating because we live in a place that gets wind gusts so I am nervous to leave it up until we source some stakes..... Love the pergolas - just don't love the missing stakes.
