Very good shed

Very nice fits perfectly

goes together easy

The fit of the flimsy materials really left me disappointed. I don't expect this shed to hold up very long. First, the good things about it: the instructions are very clear, precise, and understandable. They include scan codes in some sections that will quickly link to some very good YouTube videos that show the steps being performed. The gas springs seem to work very well in raising the top. Also, this shed is mostly plastic with some metal reinforcement which means no maintenance or rotting. However there are some issues that certainly need improvement: First of all, the main material is plastic, and most of the screws that hold it together screw into the plastic. The problem is that the plastic is so thin and soft that the screws strip out very easily. You can only just barely snug them before they strip. In the videos, the guy uses a power driver to tighten them all the way. You certainly cannot do that. If you do use a power driver, only tighten the screws half way and finish snugging them with a hand held screwdriver. Next, the base is in two pieces, but they do not fit together; they butt in the middle and have gaps at each end of about a quarter inch. The base is also not very sturdy. You have to place it on a solid hard surface, not just leveled ground or gravel. When you raise the lid and open the doors, the sides become very shaky. If you are short, the top is hard to reach in order to bring it back down; you will need to attach a rope to pull it down. Interestingly, there are 2 bungee cords included. They are for the sole purpose of attaching to the lid of the shed and to trash can lids underneath in order to pull them off automatically as you raise the lid. Actually the can lids swinging around at face level could be a bit dangerous. I still haven't figured out how you would replace the can lids since you have to have the doors closed in order for the top to go down and the cords are pretty short. Seems to be a nice idea that didn't get thought all of the way through. I have already put this shed together or else I would return it. I cannot recommend this storage shed if you want a sturdy, long term solution.

Hard to assemble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been needing some additional storage for awhile so that we can finally use our garage to park our vehicles. We already have a lifetime shed to house yard equipment and other tools but I didn't want to use this shed for our children's bikes/toys. When we came across this horizontal storage shed I knew it would be perfect for the bikes. Especially since our kids would be able to access it themselves as needed. The assembly was simple as long as you stuck with the instructions. Kind of like an Adult LEGO setup. Majority of it can be done with 1 person but if you can have at least 2 I'd recommend it. We liked this product so much we had to get another one for my husband's smoker. He cooks with this a lot and it has worked great keeping it out on our deck without it being effected by the elements.
