When the box arrived I thought no way could all the pieces fit in there.....but they did. Everything arrived in good condition and there were plenty of extra screws and nuts. They also included a tool for tightening the nuts. We bought four 8' 4x4 treated posts which we cut to size and placed around the perimeter to form the base. We used angle braces to tie them together, then drove pieces of rebar 2 feet into the ground to hold it. So far we have not decided what to use for the floor but we will probably lay bricks since we happen to have a bunch. Later we screwed the greenhouse to this base and it seems very solid. We actually build the green house directly on the base which seemed to work out well. My husband, me, and two neighbors all worked on putting it together and it took us about 6 hours to just put the greenhouse together. This can be put together by one person but I think you need at least two. The instructions are all pictures, which worked fairly well, but there were a couple of places some written instruction would have helped. We had a little problem getting the door to fit right but after several adjustments, it seems to work fine now. The 6 x 8 size seems very roomy. I placed two sets of stacked shelves in there for my small pots and there is plenty of room to move in my big pots this winter. Overall it looks great and so far I love it.

I had to wait a few days after setting this up to leave a review because I knew if I reviewed it the same day I would have nothing nice to say. It took two people 8 hours to set this up, it was a pain to say the least. Make sure you set it up on a flat surface and plan for plenty of setup time. One plastic piece arrived broken and one panel appears to be crimped from folding. I did not request replacement parts but I expect the retailer would send them for free if I had. A few components seem a little cheap like the arm that holds the window open and the door but overall I think it will serve me well for my first greenhouse. Now that it is put together, I am excited to start some plants in there.

This greenhouse, as per other reviews, can be a pain to put up. I built this mostly by myself. Partially gale force winds, slightly rainy. I think without the winds and rain, I would have had fine time putting it together. Once built, it is quite sturdy. I put mine on 4x4s anchored into the ground. Living in central Florida, I've already bought a shade cloth for my orchids.

Sturdy greenhouse, frustrating to put together, definitely took all of 8 plus hours with two people. The door is a little flimsy, magnet to close would be better located somewhere else besides the middle of the door. It has sustained 50 mile an hour winds so far without difficulty. It arrived with pieces missing so be sure to do an accurate inventory quickly because it took one week to get the missing parts but the company was good about sending what was missing. Overall, happy with the purchase, it is March in New England and the temp in the greenhouse has been over 90 degrees at times.

I loved how easy this was to put together! It does take 2 people. The instructions were all pictures, and was so easy to follow. All the parts had numbers on them. I laid out all the parts in numerical order so they were easy to find when needed. It took my husband and I two days to assemble, but we stopped and started several times. If you follow all the instructions, you should have no problem with the assembly. I love it! Can't wait to use it!

Ok. So I researched this product purchase for about a year before actually picking something. Some of the things that I had to take into consideration was price and stability. I did not want to spend more than $500 and I wanted it to last. This same greenhouse varied in price from site to site and the cheapest I could find was here on Walmart.com. I don't know what people are talking about with the directions not being clear. Each of the pieces have a sticker with the correlating number on them. If you don't know how to read numbers then this greenhouse isn't for you--- I guess stick to the greenhouses that have a tarp over the top of them. Beyond this , yes, it took me, one person, about 8 hours to put together. If I would have had help, it would have went quicker. The whole thing is about 85 lbs. I didn't buy the anchoring kit thinking that I could buy the pieces individually cheaper from Home Depot. . . I was wrong. I saved about 3 dollars. lol. So just buy the anchoring kit. It is NOT going anywhere now that I have it anchored though. You can't move it unless a truck were to hit it. I love the room that it has (I bought the 6x8) and pretty cool that the shelves can attach to the walls. I would say that this is a great choice. The only complaint is that I have, is that I wish that the house had at least 6mm paneling but, I for the life of me, couldn't find anything for under $500 with this feature so I guess I wont be gardening in January.... I did however buy a solar powered fan on Amazon for $50 that has a solar panel you put on the roof. I also bought the vent wall kit which I think is a necessity. The automatic vent opener is awesome and one lees thing I have to worry about. I am trying to figure out how to get a heater in there. So we'll see.

So I receieve the kit in the mail, and it took about 10 hours total to assemble. Warning to customers, follow instructions carefully and be patient with yourself! Lay out lots of time and plan to do only that and your greenhouse will work great. I got tbe anchors too but havent had to set them uo yet because its very sturdy on its own! Every piece has a purpose, and it was great they included some extras in case problems arose!

During the set-up process, we discovered several pieces weren't labeled so inventory required eliminating what was labeled vs what wasn't. We had to specifically match parts with measurements referenced in the assembly parts list and diagrams. Not impressed with the overall quality and once the kit was assembled it looked like a plastic shipping crate. For $500 it simply wasn't worth the price or the hassle. Also being a renter, having to disassemble this crate-type structure would be a hassle. Arched livestock panels with heavy plastic or cold frames would be a much easier way to start and extend the growing season. For those who dont mind the shipping crate look and busy assemby process, my recommendation would be to ensure the ground or platform is level in all directions. Make sure you have the recommended tools listed and having a 6' level was ideal. If this 6' x 6' greenhouse was $200 or less, I may have kept it and left it for the next renter.

I have had this greenhouse up for a couple of weeks now and it has been great. The kit is easy enough to put together but it has to be on a level base and everything has to be squared. Once you start you have to keep going until all the polycarbonate panels are locked in or else even a light wind can blow it apart. Once everything is in place, it is very stable. Mine has already withstood gale force winds and my wife has seedlings growing in it even tho there was frost on the ground in the morning. It gets quite warm and humid in there even on cooler days. If you're looking for a greenhouse, this is the one to get! You can't beat the price and the size is all we really need.

I had no difficulties erecting the greenhouse with the provided instructions. The pictures are clear and each piece is numbered to correspond with the directions. The greenhouse is light and you'll want to weight out down for wind. I added foam around the doors and windows as there were a few openings. The foam cost less than $10. I'm very happy with my new greenhouse and would purchase the same one again.
