Aoodor 10 x 10 FT Outdoor Pergola with Retractable Shade Canopy, Dark Gray Matte Aluminum Frame, 4 Pieces Roller Shade Curtain, Grape Trellis Pergola for Patio Backyard and Deck - Light Gray

Just finished putting it together. Directions are somewhat confusing but between 2 of us we figured it out. Seems to be good quality and well thought out design.

Looks great and is exactly what I wanted, appearance-wise. In general it is well-designed and perfect for use on our deck. I was disappointed that I could not find an assembly video. There's just no excuse for not offering one with something this complicated. The directions are helpful but leave a lot to be desired. All the parts were in the box (nothing was missing, thank goodness). Paint is missing on part of one of the posts (I will contact the manufacturer today) and the fabric on one of the roller shades was frayed around the edge. The cross bars that the roller shades attach to on the bottom are a little flimsy and will easily break. They should be thicker and either in 3 sections rather than 2, or with an added support in the middle for additional strength. My husband is going to figure out some ways to provide additional support for the structure -- but again, in general we are very happy with this purchase.

Easy to assemble

Wow- read all reviews! the instructions are just like everyone is saying, confusing! Took me about 8 hours trying decipher- even pictures are mislabeled and instructions manual was not staples together in sequence. Smh!!! Numerous defects in parts, from dented pieces to poor painting and alignment with screw holes to mis-stitched canopy with two holes..plastic caps do not stay in on legs so I’m sure this will rust soon!! need I mention this is super flimsy! Not sure this is worth $499. I would return this is I would have purchased locally! Let’s see how long it lasts- poles are already leaning and not sturdy. Looks “nice” when you have it together ,but quality is lacking in so many ways. PS: you will need a power drill to help with the misaligned screw holes- impossible to drive in with the screwdriver provided. Contacting seller for a replacement canopy. Two random holes in not acceptable- will fall apart easily

On picture it looks very functional, in reality it’s cheap material.The roof canopy is constructed out of two ½” hollow pipes that are loosely attached to each other. When you move the canopy back. The entire canopy falls off, and you would need to reassemble them.The posts are 3” x 3” hollow constructed out of two pieces attached together with ½” screws.I’m a contractor so in order to reinforce it I had to cut 2x12 pressure treated lumber into 2 x ½” to fit inside the posts, by the time I went to Home Depot got the lumber a strong wind bent the whole thing (wasted another $70 on lumber)I purchased two of them, I really liked the design and function, unfortunately like many items today they come from cheap China and are worthless.The instructions are very unclear, took me two and half hours to assemble with power tools, and a helper. Don’t even try to use the supplied Allen keys, unless you want to kill a whole day.Requested a return label from amazon and so far, received a Return Authorization Slip without a prepaid label, going to waste more time calling Amazon to make sure I get a prepaid return label. Shipping this garbage will be more expensive than the item itself.

Slight missing part but the seller has given me a discount and part on the way. Overall the pergola is study. And yes it is very nice. seller responded quickly to take care of the situation. Definitely recommend this

The legs are not very sturdy. They all lean a little bit because they are not one solid piece but two pieces with a connector. If it's windy and you do not have the feet weighed down with something, this will blow away.They also updated it after I bought mine. Now the pergola has the shades on two sides. When I purchased, this was not an option. I reached out to the company to see if I could add the attachment onto the open side and was rudly notified that it was not an option with the pergola that I ordered. Had I known it could be an option, I would have waited.I probably would not order this again. The shade is hard to pull across the top, it's wobbly and not completely what I would have liked but the only one on the market, in my price range, at the time.

It's attractive but can be hard to draw the shade across the top (we didn't use the side shades). Top can stick where seams are in the too pieces.Also directions skip steps so pay attention to the drawings. Good value for the price.
