I have to give this product a 3 stars for numerous reason. Before you buy this pergola, please know that there will be a 60% chance it will arrive some what damaged. The manufacture does a terrible job packaging and protecting the pieces. The box is thin and none of the pieces are secure. I had to get a refund because of the gouges received through the box on the wood during transport. Even after showing up more scratches were discovered. The wood does not appear to be high quality (Like cedar or something) you will have to seal it with water seal ASAP. Overall once you get it up it looks really nice, took some guys I hired 5 hours to put it up. Wayfair was good about refunding for damages...but it does take a long time to arrive. So if you are a person that like perfection, this pergola may not be for you because of the onset of dings and scratches, but if you don't mind a little wood filler work and stain, its good for the price.
