Impossible to put together correctly

I would not reccomend this shed. It is very difficult to assemble properly. Nothing is pre-assembled, you are given a collection of parts and have to put everything together. It was very challenging even as someone who is mechanically inclined. Things like hinges are very difficult to align properly and they leave it up to you to do, which 99% of people won't be able to get right and I think that should reflect on the quality of their product if most people won't be able to get it right. Another annoying thing, it is not clear from the instructions that the 3 square tube bars are different, if you don't know that you'll install 2 and won't realize the issue until you're 3/4 of the way through the build and will have to tear it back down to fix it.

We are sorry this shed doesn't fit your needs. We would recommend getting a horizontal shed for you trash cans.

I bought this last week and can't get it to assemble properly. Not all the wall tabs on the walls lineup properly on the floor to secure it. I'm returning it and building my own out of wood. That's what I get for trying to take the fast and cheap way to do the job.

Great for cushion storage

Bought this time store patio furniture cushions and loungers for pool. It's perfect for that. I am a DIY person. There are a few steps which will require a second person. My 14 year old son was able to assist with getting foor down and when hanging doors. Took about 3.5 hours. I had already prepped site with #8, 16 x 16 paver stones and a tamper...that was least expensive option. My wife is happy....happy wife, happy life.

Great product and stellar customer service!

Purchased this shed and we put it together over a few days. At the end of assembly, we realized we'd discarded the wall hooks. I reached out to Lifetime and told them we mistakenly threw them away and asked if we could purchase more. Lifetime agreed to send us more FOR FREE! This was above and beyond - and a lovely surprise. The shed is great and the manufacturer is even better.

Assembly directions are terrible

We purchased this shed to hold our pool chemicals and toys. The shed, once assembled, is very nice looking. The quality seems good. It was far more time-consuming to assemble than it should have been. We could've saved at least an hour if the directions for assembly had been better.

Well built. Easy to use!

Purchased a month ago. Assembly not a challenge with clear, easy to follow instructions. Had to make some adjustments to ensure the doors were level, but even guidance on that is included in the instructions. Holds my lawn tools and narrow profile make it great to use on the side of my house where I still have enough room to get the trash cans by.

Kinda Lipstick on a Pig

Great price, nice looking, well packed for shipping. It took FAR longer to assemble than it should have, design WAY overthought. It's a good thing it's “steel reenforced” (with random metal pieces you attach separately) because the hollow plastic warps easily making for a less than snug fit. The hardware is cheap . Like others I upgraded to my own choice of hardware, plus I spent an hour sealing the connecting pieces (and random gaps) with silicone (remember what I said earlier about warping). It took hours to assemble because pieces pop out of alignment, and had to be taken apart and reattached. I would estimate 40% of the “assembly time” was used just trying to open the blister pack hardware. Oh it LOOKS all nice and professionally packaged when you're unboxing, but it is ridiculously hard to open. I broke three exacto blades and one box cutter blade. FORGET using scissors. I would also speculate that 95% of any injuries that occur with assembling this unit are due to the crazy difficult hardware packaging (remember the blades I said that broke). The only cuts I had were from the sharp plastic holding the hardware (once I managed to cut through it).The finished project looks decent, but I wouldn't buy another until the entire assembly process and packaging is redesigned by Lifetime.
