WATCH THE VIDEO SEVERAL TIMES B-4 ASSEMBLY
Shed is Hard to put together. I have put many sheds together. This one is spot on however, every single screw hole is perfectly aligned. Very unusual, normally you have to drill 5 to 10 new holes as they just don't match up. Screws and bolts are just too small. They do this so no one gets a poke from a screw or bolt when entering the shed after installation which would result in buffoons' having a law suit. Engineering is spot on, but still very difficult to install, Takes 2 people, and I cant stress enough to watch the videos several times b-4 assembly. When assembled is a sturdy good looking shed. Pour a slab to mount it on and use 4 tap cons and washers to affix to pad. Protective plastic covering is EXTREMELY difficult, I took a razor knife and ran it down the edges of the panels to be able to remove the plastic, Good Luck,,,,, Buy it, it is Worth The Work! It is a lot of Work however!!!!

Compersome to put together
It really needs 2 people to put the shed together as the walls are flimsy. I tried to do the whole thing myself but needed a little help when connecting the walls. Overall, it's together, in place, and filled with garden stuff. Wind and rain are no problem, I've never had an issue.

Worth the money!
This was a perfect little shed. I was debating between this and a much more expensive resin one. I decided the difference of about $500 wasn't worth it. I made the right choice. I read many reviews and the questions I had after reading them were answered. 1. The color was a nice tan/gray color. Not the chocolate darker brown it appeared in some pictures. 2. Assembly was not super easy, but not horrible either. You absolutely need 2 people unless you are Stretch Armstrong. Nimble fingers for small screws and an electric screwdriver are helpful. 3. It took longer to peel the plastic off the pieces than it did to actually assemble it. It was shrink wrap meets packing tape. I prepped the shed 1 day, assembled the next. I highly recommend this. Your fingers will be hurting from peeling. 3. After assembly, there were a few gaps, so I used Great Stuff, aluminum tape, and 2 stick on door sweeps. (For the hinge side of the door. Want to keep the bees out. Hopefully this works. 4. All but the LAST hole lined up. 5. I purchased tgin threaded 1 foot rods @lowes and bent them into U shaped to sort of anchor them to the ground. But a pea gravel base thick enough to lay on top of the base frame will work. 6. It survived some outer rain bans of Henri, but we didn't get the strong winds. The rocks on the floor were wet, but about 3" of rain in like 2 hours may be the reason. It was raining buckets for about 45 min. The shelves in the pic show no evidence of being wet. 7. I noticed a spot of rust starting where the side walls meet the roof. That is a little concerning since it hasn't been up for a month.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SHED!!!
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SHED!!! This product is terrible. There’s no other way I can describe it. Each part is extremely difficult to find, most are labeled incorrectly, if you can actually find the correct pieces that go together based off of the “instructions”, they still don’t really fit. Worst of all, the instructions for assembly are an absolute joke. They are unequivocally, the most terrible, hard to follow, and often times just incorrect instructions I’ve ever seen. Once I finally figured out that I had a few incorrect parts, I reached out to the seller and after multiple messages back and forth with various “customer service representatives” they mailed me the missing parts, which arrived WEEKS late. So I had half a shed up in my backyard that entire time. (Side note: when asking for a partial refund given the situation, the “customer service representative” I was working with offered me a whopping TEN dollars back… what a joke. More on the assembly being a utter disaster, towards the end of the assembly process everything was so impossible to follow that I finally just had to go to another store and buy 20-30 different screws to add them around the roof just to make this thing function like a shed. I cannot stress enough how much of a pain/disaster not only this entire process has been, but the actual product itself is as well. If I could go back in time before owning this giant pile of garbage, I would tell myself PLEASE pay the extra money, and get something much much better.

It’s a nice shed but pain to assemble
It’s a great value and size (5x3) that isn’t very common and just what I needed but that comes with a caveat, it’s a tedious setup. If you’re not mechanically inclined, don’t have tools and somebody to help I’d buy something else. I managed to do it myself but it took much longer because I had to prop up pieces as I went using a variety of creative methods. The reason for 3 stars is the packaging could be better, had a couple of deforms in pieces but nothing major. First, there’s a protective plastic film on all of the pieces which is nice because it protects it in shipping. The bad part is removing it. It’s on there pretty good so I suggest you leave the parts in the sun to soften it so removal is easier. Be careful of the extremely sharp edges. They include these cotton gloves but they’re useless in my opinion. Wear gloves that have a grip and can stand up to the razor sharp edges. You will definitely need them as you are trying to get the plastic off. Once you manage to get all that off the assembly is next. It’s not hard but you do need to pay close attention to the pictures and pieces to make sure it goes together right. I think a couple people can do it in 3-4 hours, it look me several because I did it solo. It’s a nice sturdy shed when done but you will need to spend your time to get there.

Excellent well made product. Goes together very well. Recommend 2 adults to build it, but MOST important-- read the construction manual all the way through a number of times!!! A number of different sets of parts look the same, but have subtle differences in where the small assembly holes are drilled, etc. Carefully follow the directions and you will be rewarded with an excellent shed.

Perfect and as expected! No dents in any of the materials provided. It took about 5 hours, over two weekend afternoons to put it together by myself, but very straight forward. Definitely recommended.

Came in 1 box. The directions were clear enough. It’s reasonably solid and looks great. I’m pleasantly surprised. Recommended.

The instructions need to be updated to be more clear regarding how to roof fits to the frame…. When completed my one left gaps that allowed water to ingress into the shed and down the back panels… had to buy filler to stop it from happening.

Instructions were awful but after contacting the seller and getting new instruction shed is up
