Not a good experience, serious concerns about long term durability.

Screws seem very loose after screwing into plastic, nothing seems to line up correctly. Instructions are terrible. I have very serious concerns about this standing up to any kind of wind past 20mph. Bought this because of the good reviews but for the life of me I can't see why it has good reviews. For $2700 I expected this thing to be built like a tank.

Well built sturdy priduct

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Instructions should be clearer with better pictures & some things are not specific in the pictures. It's together & will enjoy for many years! Compliments from the neighbors & one is seriously considering getting one! Highly recommend! Oh! Video on YouTube is old! Not helpful!

Missing Parts

We have spent more than 2 weeks trying to get missing bolts/nuts and items so our building is not even "started". The building materials look great, we really want/need the building up, but without the bolts and right connectors it will be impossible. The company is responding so hopefully we will reach a resultion.

Fantastic shed!!

Put this shed together this Spring in my backyard and I used pavers instead of a concrete slab or wood for its base. Looks great and seems very sturdy considering its made out of vinyl plastic. I anchored it down with 2x4s in each corner and a little cement. I put it together myself except I did need help getting the 20ft long skylight up to the top of the shed (one of the very last steps). I did not have any missing parts as others have said they had in some of the reviews. So far the shed has survived some fairly heavy winds and light hail without a scratch, hopefully it can do well through a North Dakota Winter. I have confidence that it will but I might have to knock down some snow accumulation on the roof if I notice too much build up or I could foresee some possible trouble. Also the price seemed right and Sams Club and delivery was good plus ahead of schedule even though I was not in a hurry. Shed is in the background of the attached pic.

Functional

I like it for the price I paid, and wow, is it spacious. It took some time to assemble, but true to the assembly instructions. I am pleased how well it sheds water during rain and lets in light through the skylights. My doors didn't align exactly true. So when I close them, I have to lift the handle. I tried many things to fix it, but just accepted it in the end. You definitely need to have a solid floor under it for support.

Excellent Customerr Service

We bought this shed 2 years ago. We had a problem with a skylight. The representative listened to our concerns and sent a new part with no hassle. This is a very durable shed! We live in a windy area and have had many storms with high winds and the shed withstood the storms every time!

Wrong parts sent twice.

I bought this and paid to have it installed. Right out of the box, the floor panels were wrong. Shed came with incorrect floor panels included, which was not immediately discovered. Called Lifetime for proper panels. Very courteous and professional customer service. Received new floor panels rather quickly (this was over the July 4th weekend). Rescheduled installer. He came out and was at my house from 10 AM until 8PM. I even helped for 5 hours. Doors would not fit on the long side, not even close. Turns out, the wrong floor panels were sent again. 20 man hours wasted. Plus, he had to disassemble the entire shed, and order new panels again. I bought this shed late in May, it was delivered about a month later, and all of July was wasted on waiting for the correct parts and rescheduling the installer. It was a very frustrating experience.

20x 8x shed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the shed. We are now able to put our three 4- wheelers in side along with things like our weed-eater, leaf blower and many other things we can hang on the walls.
