Installation has some hurdles

Things were actually going really smooth with assembly until I reached step the assembly parts for the door. You need to pay close attention when it comes to putting the handles on. I found the fact that you need to drill into the door silly, and something that could've been done pre-shipment to the consumer. The dreaded part based on most of what I've read was part 2.17. I understand it's probably best to drill these holes to attach the door hinges, but the drill bit they give you is terrible and barely lasted through the first 2 holes before snapping. In total I went through 5 drill bits for the 12 holes total. After that it's mostly OK. The right door is a little warped on the bottom, but I also let it lean for 10 days after being frustrated with the assembly and too busy to come back to it. I haven't seen how well it keeps water out now that the doors are on, I would likely bump to 4 stars if it keeps the inside completely dry. Time will tell.

Satisfied, Tough Assemble.

4 Hour Assembly but it does what I wanted it for. Harder than I expected to assemble but I am pleased with the result. My walls, doors, roof were slightly warped or bent in transit (which I didn't notice until assembling) and it was a bit of a job bending them to fit into slots etc. instructions were clear, which was a rare pleasant surprise with this sort of thing.

This will truly last a lifetime!

Prepare for several hours and two people to build. It takes time but it's going to last a lifetime! Love that it's steel reinforced! Great storage shed! Perfect for my pool floats in the bottom and sunscreen sits nicely on the shelf along with towels, a first aid kit, and some small pool toys. Must have for any pool area! Buy it. You won't regret it.

Looks great, perfect size

I looked for quite a bit to find the size I needed for my patio. This is just right. Fits a good amount of stuff but not so big you lose stuff in it. It keeps the patio uncluttered. I also visited a lot of stores to look at different brands and others on display were falling apart and they were inside. I know the brand LifeTime and have other small sheds that have stood the test of time so I am confident the quality of this will be similar. Overall, for the price and size, it is the perfect little shed to keep a patio neat and clean looking. PS. It did take 2 grown men about 4(ish) hours to put together.

Shorter than 6' tall.

I like this shed because it is tall enough for yard tools, but short enough to "hide" behind a 6' fence. Our HOA doesn't allow visible sheds in the back yard so this size is ideal. If you are buying it for a mower, be sure to measure your mower and compare to the interior dimensions. We have one mower that fits and one that doesn't. The shelves are a nice bonus.

Not water tight. Sturdy storage shed.

Clear and concise instructions. Assembly was fairly straight forward. Would rate 5 star if not for the water it allows to enter the shed. Other "Suncast" I have is was water tight. Have had to apply gasket material to prevent water entering the unit. The unit is nicely constructed and sturdy. Would be much happier if water was not entering thru the door.

Poor Quality workmanship.

We have worked on assembling this shed for over four hours and we are still not through. The instructions were confusing and some of the holes were not drilled properly. We have purchased Lifetime products in the past and were pleased but not this time. This was truly poor quality workmanship.

Great Sturdy Outdoor Shed

I got this on super sale of $150! Nothing this good exists at that price point. Even the $300 original price is pretty good for what you get with this shed. It has some steel reinforcement and metal hinges. I put this together myself. I got the shed itself completed in about 2 hours but it took me longer than that to do the doors. If you have 2 people the whole time I can imagine this being completed in a couple hours. The videos you can pull up on YouTube were very helpful and necessary in a few places that the instructions were not super clear on. If this ever comes back in the stock I say you should get it! I have my leaf blower, lawn trimmer, lawn mower & accessories, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, and pressure washer in it.

Nice shed for the price

Overall, this is a nice little shed for the price. I was able to assemble the shed completely by myself in a little more than an hour (definitely would've gone quicker with another person). I'm pleased with the quality and the look of the shed, I do believe that it will prove to be quite durable and will last. You do have to drill about a half dozen holes and I ended up going through the top and had to patch those holes so that water will not get trapped in the top (the hollowness of the roof). I think that this could've been designed a bit better. I'm not thrilled with the latching of the left door - there are 2 internal latches on the inside of the door (one at the top and one at the bottom of the door). This means that you have to reach inside and release 2 different latches to open the left door - not convenient at all.
