I have been assembling this by myself. I am doing the walls today and will have a neighbor help. So far, not bad. The only difficulty was sliding the metal door frames onto the door -- need lots of hammering with a mallet, but I got it done. It's rugged -- I had to leave its pieces exposed to the elements and it held up very well. I love the size and the niceties like windows and skylights. Only bad thing was one of the metal pieces did not get primed properly and the paint started peeling off. They responded to my concern immediately and are sending me a replacement part. There are LOTS of parts; make sure you keep items in their labeled bags so you know what goes where. The lifetime warranty is a big plus. They have videos and a help line but I have not needed these. Instructions very clear.

This product was great for the price compared to wood our metal buildings. The instructions need to be updated. The metal parts were not marked, so you had to look at the pictures. Sometimes the parts were assembled wrong end do to lack of clarity. So look at the pictures really close. My wife and I assembled the shed ourselves and being retired it was hard for us at our age. Definitely pay the extra money to have it assembled.

The end unit was great, only had a coupe issues. The floor end pieces didn't match well with the middle pieces, had to work to get them to fit. The self drilling screws don't work, recommend including 4 9/32 drill bits to drill the extra holes for the extra bracing. It took another 4 hours for the extra bracing. All in all, satisfied and have a couple neighbors looking to buy similar units based on my completed unit.

I am highly satisfied with the product, and I never do these reviews but I felt like I needed to let others know this is a good product. As a mechanical engineer, I think this product is well engineered and was easy to put together. I was a little hesitant with it being a plastic, but the screws do work well and I fell like there is enough metal to make it strong. There are a ton of pieces to put together but the order in manual is great. The YouTube video was awesome and needed. My only recommendation would be to label all the metal pieces with easy to remove no residue stickers. They should also add a note in manual about the doors with the longer rods go in the short end, I had to figure it out from the video. I was missing a window on the door but they immediately sent a replacement one, great customer service!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been buying Lifetime products whenever I can. If I need something I will see if Lifetime makes it :) Recently I need a replacement part and Darwin helped me. Its great customer service like this that makes me buy their products and recommend them to others. In Canadas harsh climate they are a perfect fit. Cheers

If your going to have 4 boxes of parts and need parts from every single box to get started, you know it's going to be fun. NOw imagine the parts all have letters in the book, so let's print numbers on the actual that do no correlate to anything to make it harder. If you need part LEF or QRD, either print it on the part/packaging or provide a list that LEF = 01437586 so the consumer doesn't spend hours re-reading the instructions trying to decipher what your looking for. Now that it's built, it's not a solid as the Rubbermaid I have already built but is a great size and I have a second to build, we'll see if that's easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started opening the cartons to discover a defective wall panel. Talked to customer support who got back to us in a timely manner. Zachary and another sales rep spoke to us and we received the replacement panel in less than 4 days. While waiting have been assembling what I can and have been following the manual by the letter. Great instructions and easy to navigate as long as you take it step by step. I feel we are getting a quality shed from a reputable company who stands by their products with a great support/sales rep team.

I bought this shirt from Sam's club and received it within a couple of weeks. I would recommend reading through the instructions prior to installation so you have a good understanding of everything. I chose to build my shed on top of a wooden platform. I constructed an 8‘ x 20‘ deck to hold the shed. My wife and I with the occasional help of one of our kids put this together over the course of three days. Probably spent a total of around 20 hours from start to finish. Before we started assembly we inventoried all parts. I recommend you do that as well. Overall we are pleased and are glad that we purchased this shed. My only complaint is that the two skylight panels seem to have a different finish then the rest of the roof. Almost as if they are glossier. We plan to write to lifetime to address the issue.

shed came in 4 very heavy 9 x 3 x 1 ft boxes. delivered by very large truck with only the driver. you better have help to unload the truck as the driver will only offer a limited assistance. having said that you need to unload all of the boxes and stack the parts in like piles. it is very important to have the base the shed will sit on very level. Watch the YouTube videos and read the directions this more than once. you will need two or more persons to erect the shed. it took four of us 10 hours. lots of screws. Power screwdriver is a tremendous help. screws and other fasteners come in packages that are not marked as the instructions require. this is a real mess to figure out. once built the shed is very sturdy and looks exactly like the picture. only had it up for about a month so don't know how long it will last.

We started out with 3 capable people as stated but soon we found that we needed people that had real building experience. We had two men to build a nice foundation...and that took one day. Then we had six different people that had many years of experience (masters degrees and well educated people)...but found the directions to be very challenging. There were times when they had to reconfigure, cut or drill other than stated. This project was on and off for a couple of weeks, depending on weather and availability of our group of volunteers. When completed, the shed looks great and is very sturdy. It is overwhelming with all the parts...but I guess necessary. We estimate it took about 40 hours and 8 people. I guess it will be there way beyond our years.
