Installation Complete
Final Review - 4.5 Stars
I spent a good amount of time researching every style and type of pergola for my outdoor kitchen before deciding on the Eagle N5 Plus. All-in, I am very happy with my decision. It is a classy-looking, high-quality product that is also very functional. It does an excellent job providing shade and performs equally well during heavy rain. The gutter system is smartly designed and works very well.
I like the way the hand crank operates the louvers and actually prefer it to the electric models because of the simplicity. You do need to apply a little additional pressure when turning the crank in one direction, so I’ll be sure to lubricate it periodically. Two of the louvers at one end seem to fit a little tighter than the rest, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to adjust them. That could be related to my installation, though, and everything seems to work just fine.
The product was very well packaged and arrived completely undamaged. It took about two full hours just to unpack everything and another 6–8 hours to install, so I think the two-hour installation claim is unrealistic. That said, I’m a perfectionist, went slowly, and did most of the installation myself, with my wife helping only when needed.
Overall, I’d give it 4.5 stars—mainly because the product itself is excellent and because the customer service team was responsive and didn’t make excuses for the delivery issues. I’m glad I stayed with my decision to purchase the Eagle pergola and would make the same choice again.

Updated Review – Raised to 3 Stars
I’m raising my earlier one-star review to three stars based on how Eagle Patio’s staff handled the situation.
The team was responsive, fully owned the delivery problems, acknowledged the inconvenience, and never made excuses. They followed up consistently, which mattered a lot.
Even after the delivery company cancelled a second scheduled delivery, the Eagle Patio staff responded the same way—professional and accountable. I was ready to cancel the order but decided to give them one more chance because of how management and the team handled things.
The product was finally delivered yesterday within the promised window. They did not call ahead as they said they would, but fortunately I was home.
I’ve had to reschedule the installation because of the delays. I’ll update this review again once I’ve unpacked everything and the pergola is installed.

The original delivery timeline wasn't followed, and when delivery was finally scheduled for today, the shipping company "rolled" me to another day without notifying me.
I wasted a whole day waiting for them.
When I called Eagle Patio, the representative spoke in a way I could not understand, would not speak clearly despite several requests and would not connect me to a supervisor.
Terrible customer service regarding delivery. I hope they respond in a positive way and I will edit my review.
