My wife and I received this greenhouse the end of February and started assembling it last weekend. We unboxed everything and sorted by part number and had a table set up for hardware. We followed the instructions and finished the setup this evening. The instructions were clear everything was cut and drilled perfectly. Between the two of us it took about 34 hours but we working every step together, we did not divide and con. I did the last few steps on my own and my wife was disappointed because she warp finish it with m! This is absolutely beautiful and really adds a level of elegance as was as practicality. We built it on 8 inch of compacted limestone and added pavers under the pergola. Thank you backyard discovery!

I decided to assemble myself and found instructions to be exceptionally well written and easy to follow. It did take a long time to assemble probably because I took my time. Also decided to stain it before assembly. I love the result but it was also alot of extra work.

My husband and I ordered the Bellerose ahead of moving into our new home. I knew it would be the perfect addition to my new yard and it would also be a dream to have. The greenhouse came in numerous boxes that had to be stored in our garage for awhile due to our move. Man...did the garage smell good! Once we began opening boxes I was little overwhelmed with all the pieces and hardware but my husband quickly determined a process, got things organized and a plan to get under way. I then began staining/sealing boards he outlined for me to do. After a short drying period he would select wood pieces and specific hardware and construct that section of the greenhouse. This is how we proceeded thru the entire process. Stain/seal, drying time and then "shop" for the finished wood pieces and hardware in the garage (which we referred to as our "Menards") for what was needed. It took us a month from footing creation to greenhouse finish working part time together. All the hardware was there and the wood and poly panels were in good condition. Directions were accurate and diagrams were essential in helping an amateur contractor get things right. It adds beauty and interest to our yard, feeds my creative desire, plant hobbyist heart and several friends have now fallen in love and want one to. We would highly recommend the Bellerose to any hobbyist on up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of backyarddiscovery] This greenhouse has all of the perfect added details I didn't even know I needed to have in a greenhouse. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a greenhouse I absolutely needed to have! Absolutely stunning and splendid quality!

I bought the Bellerose back in January. The quality is exceptional. Pieces were cut just right and the hardware is awesome. It's literally like being inside a giant LEGO build. But the biggest advantage is the totality of the solution. Without good ventilation and air flow a greenhouse won't work right. And water inside the greenhouse is a must. This has it all built in. No need for a plumber or electrician either. Hook up the hose and drop cord. Planting bench work area is insane, too. Cannot beat this one for the price.

If you’ve never done anything like this bf please hire someone to put it together for you. Now that it’s put together and it’s full of plants it is very cool indeed. I’m struggling keeping a somewhat constant temperature in there. The fan works well enough but it can get real hot quickly if you don’t use a shade cloth. Also now that it’s getting colder I’m struggling trying to keep it warm. I think that were a few gaps in the panels on the roof. So I’m sure I’m losing a lot of heat thru there. Even using an oil filled radiator isn’t enough. So I’m adding bubble wrap for some insulation on the top. So far it isn’t freezing yet and I have time to figure it out. It’s still a very nice greenhouse for the price. The cedar panels and shelves are lovely. 4 out of 5 stars. I take 1 star bc the packing took us a full day to get ordered right

We installed the XL greenhouse recently. For most homeowners this is far far too much to take on and best left to pro's. I would expect two young ambitious homeowners to need 10-15 weekends for foundation work, wood sealing, assembly, andfinishing touches. I felt this kit was overall very well made and the precision the kit is made at (e.g. pre-drilled holes, notches etc.) is astonishing. I'm not a fan of the poly panel taping it required (why not sealed panes?) as moisture can get in and fog the panels. I felt the fasteners were well made except for the metal roof screws which are terrible and window latches are akward. I'm not a fan of how the roof was flashed especially where poly roof panels meet metal. I felt the kit would benefit from gutters/rain barrel option and the fan/thermostat a solar option. Despite the criticisms this kit is awesome overall and if you're crazy ambitious get one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good design and thoughtful function meets beauty. The structure of this greenhouse seems quite sturdy, and the wood design blends seamlessly with nature around it. The folding shelves are easy to use and the hose hook-up makes it very practical to use as well!

Bought greenhouse and it arrived 6 days later. I’m a 66 year old and assembled the unit by myself. Instructions are spot on. It took some time for me to complete but I took my time. While assembling I was impressed with the quality of the unit. If I would have bought something similar in quality assembled it would’ve cost much,much more. I was impressed that there were so many pieces yet they were all there and no damage. I opted to seal all pieces prior to assembling . I recommend doing this. I used a cordless sprayer and it worked out great. That also helped me become more familiar with the pieces. I just finished today and turning it over to my wife. She’s thrilled. I got lots of brownie points for this!

Bought the kit last Jan. My husband and I set it up in March 2024 when weather in Ohio warms-up. The pieces fit together perfectly. It is well make and has features other kits don't, like an auto fan with temp control, power center, and water spigot. We love the built-in shelves can be put up or folded down. I would definitely buy again.
