These must be on sale because they are defective. The doors and back panels bow out. The holes in the hinges do not line up with the holes in the support bars, making it impossible to properly align the doors. This shed is not a marvel of engineering - seems like a lot of it was designed as they went along rather than as a whole.

i bought three and was easy to put together. The lid on two of them warped the frist m onth and causes seal problems. The other one no problems. Saw others in my neighbor hood which are same also warped. Says lifetime but no info to file a claim to have new lids replaced.

I was hesitant to purchase this storage due to the negative reviews about assembly; however, I’m glad I bought it! My husband built this shed by himself in approximately 3 hours at a leisurely pace, taking a break here and there. I only helped him put the lid on. We did purchase self tapping screws ahead of time since they were mentioned and it was a good choice. The rubber mallet is also a must. Our ground is not perfectly level and the shed works great. Make sure you have clearance for the doors to open. I’m tempted to buy another for our lawn tools.

Brought shred a few weeks ago. Only thing happy with was the fast delivery. The shed directions were not correct to the product. Incomplete pieces, that did not designed to that shed. You cannot put wood screws into steel beams!!!!!!!. Called customer service...the guy was nasty and rude!! No help whatsoever. Was going to buy another one. But not anymore.will not buy anything else from sams online again!

I read a lot of people having issues putting this together. I had NO issues at all and I’m female, 4’10” and past retirement age and put this together with no help from anyone. It took me a few hours and I used both the written instructions and the video to make the whole installation process go smoothly. The only issue I had was two screws weren’t long enough to fit the lid brace to the lid, but it didn’t stop installation and I will find the proper length of screws to install later. If time is taken to read and fully comprehend the instructions, there shouldn’t be any problem. The unit is perfect for my use—to keep hay and feed outside by my animals and finally out of my garage. It is water-tight and holds together well in the wind. The lid holds both doors closed when it is latched. I’m very happy I chose his model after researching many other different sheds. I recommend this product highly.

Bought this in July 2021. Delivery comes by freight truck. Last mile delivery was by local franchisee for Pilot. Box all torn up. Delivered in a rental truck. Box all torn up. Looks as it had been handled by the gorillas in the airport baggage handling commercials. It took my grandson and I 8 hours to put together. This was after we both viewed the online videos of how to put together. They do it in a nice, pristine environment - nothing like what you will face at your house. After putting it together, except for hasp portion, we put top down for the night. It rained. Opened door next day, water all over floor. Finished installing hasp - directions of no help here. Put top down. It rained again that night. Opened doors next day; rain on floor.. Chatted with Lifetime rep via computer. They wanted pictures of inside to determine which pieces they needed to send. Lifetime Tech was even trying to tell me that we should expect some rain to get in if it was windy when raining!!! There was no way I was going to dismantle that thing and put it back together. After putting caulk on all the vertical and horizontal seams. We closed it up. It rained. Water back inside. Final try was to cover top with tarp. It rained. Water inside again. So it appears that the top design is inferior. I caulked seam in top but caulk did not take fully in all places after closer investigation. Also top has three holes in rear where hinges are located that are completely open. Poor design by Lifetime. Again, DO NOT BUY. Should you chose to do so, then get a good tube of quality exterior caulk. Do seams both inside and outside and maybe it won't get wet insdie. Lifetime makes good tables and chairs. Stay away from the horizontal shed until quality control is much better.

It took 2men 4 hours to put this together. There were several incorrect pieces in the box. They had to use tools to cut and piece things together. Also, there were pieces that are supposed lock together like a puzzle. It was not doing it. We had to used extra force. If this wasn’t a large item, I would have returned it immediately

I know we tend to skip the instructions on a lot of things we buy, but this is not one of them. Save yourself a lot of frustration and read through all the instructions and watch the video once or twice. If you have good knees you can do like the video. If not, set up a work table. Do these things and maybe you’ll be done in 4 hours instead of 8 hours over 2 days.

This was delivered yesterday and although it took to long to install it is a good value. The only objection is the screw packages are a mess. They are not identified by the type of screw and it took to long to find the correct screws. At least the instructions have a fairly close picture to match them up. I would guess it added about one hour to my install. I should have made it 4stars because of the hardware but the unit and the value made it 5. Watch the video on utube it will help.

Very disappointed in this LESS than Life Time product. The video is helpful, however things do not just slide together. They also need a comparison chart for the screws as they are not labeled in packs as they call them out. As many others have mentioned having to McGyver things together. I have been a technician for 20 years and still had to allow two days to avoid frustration. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
