Great budget shed!
We were looking for a small utility shed to keep some garden tools in, and this one was PERFECT at 5' x 3'.You can see the attached pictures if you're so inclined, but I really wanted to review the assembly since everyone seems to be crying about it.There are reviews saying this took 10+ hours with 2-3 people and the holes didn't line up and all this nonsense.If you have the slightest mechanical inclination, this is about as easy as it gets. Every part is numbered, the diagrams show the assembly with the numbered parts (including numbered hardware) and with the exception of two somewhat ambiguous diagrams, this was a breeze.I did this, by myself, on a windy day, in less than 6 hours. The most time-consuming part was legitimately breaking the plastic washers off and putting the screw through them.If you have a helper, this should take 3-4 hours max.Every hole lined up perfectly. I'm thinking these guys who had to drill their own holes tightened a bunch of bolts before getting the rest of them in. Rookie mistake.Great product for the price. Please disregard the construction demo zone in the pics š

If you don't have a lot to spend and REALLY NEED a storage shed it's worth the purchase!
First of all, O-M-G, You better be prepared to put this together!!! It took 9 hours, no breaks... there were 2 of us and sometimes 3, to hold all of the pieces while drilling at the same time! If you can afford to pay a couple of guys (who assemble things regularly), I would HIGHLY recommend that! We're used to putting IKEA, Walmart and Amazon DIY things together, but THIS was the MOST DIFFICULT thing (by far) we've EVER put together!!! Here's why: the worst of it are the screws, they are SO TINY (all 3 different ones that go in all places) that they REALLY play "heck" on your fine motor skills, so you end up dropping them (A Lot) and have a really hard time holding them while trying to drill them in, No Joke! And then you have to wonder, because they're So Small, are they gonna hold this whole thing together and hold the door on for the long haul... like, for a year or years to come??? Then they send a pair of gloves in the pkg of tools for a reason (but only 1 pair), so someone else, who may be helping, is at risk of getting cut by the steel edges... I learned that first hand! Was cut several times by the steel edges, very fine, SHARP edges! So have a 2nd pair of garden gloves or something similar for the other person on the hand that's Not holding the screws... Then, the steel panels are very wobbly/flimsy and thin (of course because the whole unit is not expensive and total weight is 74 lbs) so when you're standing them up and trying to drill in the bottoms and sides together with these tiny screws and drill them to each other and need 2-3 people to hold them while you're trying to also put these tiny screws through 2-3 sheets of steel and/or the frame or L bracket, it's VERY frustrating because you don't have a lot to work with and someone ends up holding up the panels or the bars around the top (which is the frame) for a long time which is grueling and tiresome! So, we did use the instructions and the video to make sure we did everything but some things were still "fuzzy"... like the bars on the inside of the doors, I took 2 pictures of them because the top one is put on correctly, but the bottom one is not, it does not line up with the holes in the middle... but nothing on the bar indicates top or bottom, you just need to make sure all of your holes line up. Then ALL of the roof panels hang over the edge of the shed, especially in back (by about 3-4 inches)... so again, you really need to look at your drill holes, because the directions or video doesn't do a good job of letting you know this. And then, of course, there's no floor, if you were wondering... so it's best not to put it on your lawn, unless you want to build a floor for it... we put it under our car port. So after all is said and done, I must say, it was still a good value for our money and it came out feeling really sturdy, not wobbly, the corners line up, the locking mechanism, lines up, the door lines up and feels sturdy enough and it was light enough to move into place! I ordered some metal glue that I'm gonna put on each screw, just because they're so small and I don't trust them to stay in place for the long haul, but you can do as you see fit! For now, it looks like it's gonna meet our needs and because it's way back, under the car port, it's away from the rain and most of the outdoor elements here in Florida.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SHED!!!
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SHED!!!This product is terrible. Thereās 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 āinstructionsā, they still donāt 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 Iāve 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 ācustomer service representativesā 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 ācustomer service representativeā 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.
