12 x 9 Feet Outdoor Pergola Gazebo with Retractable Canopy Shades

I was skeptical about the workmanship and having all the contents. Was I pleasantly surprised. It went together in about 5 hours with two of us taking our time and neither of us are all that talented. When we finished all we could do was admire the results. This was a quality product and the holes lined up. I shopped around and couldn't figure out why this company had them at a discounted price. Very happy all around and the delivery was quick too. Comes in 2 boxes.

I was skeptical at first, but once it was up it is beautiful. I love that the canvas top can be so easily adjusted at the flick of the wrist. It was a booger to assemble, took 3 of us to hold the frame for proper assembly, but once together I could be happier

The product was delivered exactly as advertised. All parts were there and the assembly instructions were clear and complete. There were parts of the assembly that took 4 people to complete. All 4 legs had to be held in place while the top was being fastened down. A step ladder was required. The only real flaw was that some of the bolts did not thread cleanly and are prone to cross threading. It appeared that the threaded inserts may not have been machined very accurately. After discovering this, I pre-threaded all the bolt into their proper place before assembling. This made sure that they would go in straight during assembly. I would strongly advise staking this down. At ~ 120 lbs., this could be lifted off the ground with a moderately strong wind. It came with skinny 6” stakes and small nylon rope but I used 10” stakes and thicker rope. It depends on where you are and how wind sheltered the pergola will be.
