Although I was able to put this together, almost, completely by myself it would go much fast with two people. I am also handy with assembly. I needed help with someone holding the lid on place while I installed the hardware. It rained shortly after installing so I noticed the lid, which is two pieces screwed together, leaked at the center. A bead of caulk should fix. Next rain, I'll find out. I also read about this leaking, in someone else's review, prior to my purchase.

I have kept this storage shed out in the winter rain and snow, and summer sun, of Corvallis, Oregon for the past year. It has held up perfectly. The shed holds three of my bikes; I could probably fit a fourth in there if I tried really hard. Alongside the bikes, I am also able to keep a bike rack and a few other small items in there. I originally bought this to prevent theft after losing parts off my bike, which had been locked to a bike rack, on multiple occasions. Nobody has ever broken into this shed. If you wanted to, you could bend the plastic open, but I think because would-be thieves cannot see into the shed to spot cameras or motion sensors (as I have installed), they don't try. I haven't cleaned the thing in the year I have owned it, and it still looks fine. I'm sure it would clean up well in its current state. My only complaint is that the hydraulic struts are a bit stiff. I'm sure there is a way to adjust this, but it's not a big enough problem to actually do so.

I purchase this item on line. this is not the item that i wanted. i wanted a 980208819 shed, but you said that this was not a good number, so i ordered 980274279S thinking it was the same size. It was not and I did notice it until it was delivered. The shipping cost $50.00 and I was not going to send it back. The shed i wanted was larger and i got the number from the unit in the Dover's Sam Club. The instructions were hard to follow and it took 2 people and 2 days to put it up. Please have someone call me.

After shopping around for some type of outdoor storage solution, we decided on this model from Costco. For the amount of space inside, it was the best value. We have a carport and put it against one of the walls and it doesn't look unsightly at all. As a matter of fact, because it's not a tall shed, the lower profile doesn't make it so obvious. It looks perfectly nice anyway though. The manufacturer's directions were pretty good for the most part. A little confusing at a couple of points, but luckily, I figured it out. It took me about 6 hours to assemble by myself. There were only a couple of times when I had my husband help briefly. As long as you have someone you can call over once in a while, it's doable alone. Here's a pro tip on how to add your own small shelf to maximize the space inside: There's a metal bar that goes all around the inside top part of the shed. I went to Home Depot, picked out a 1"x12" pine board from their discard pile, and had them cut it so that it would lay across the entire back inside of the shed. There's about 6-8" of space from the pine board shelf to the lid of the shed. I use this to store small items like gardening gloves, hand shovels, etc. Also, the manufacturer is great to work with! I broke the hydraulic arm while installing it and had to order a replacement. I called their customer service number in their manual, and they immediately shipped it free of charge. I've installed it and the shed works perfectly! I'm so pleased with this product, that I may actually get a second one. It's so low profile, yet so spacious.

I bought this about 1.5 years ago. Be careful as the lid AND doors will warp and not close properly without force. The plastic Door Pin (E00) broke so the left door won’t stay put without the lid shut. Very disappointing and I will be selling this more than likely. ☹️

I purchased this shed for the purpose of holding extra household goods and equipment; I hope this shed fulfills these requirements. Please be patient when putting together the shed. Not all parts are marked in a manner that is intuitive. We were missing one of the most important pieces to build this shed-the shed's lock loop. Between YouTube videos and instructions, it took two people six hours to assemble this shed. (If we had to do it again, it would likely take an hour and a half-easily.) You do not need to be a genius to install the shed, but you will need to be patient because the process is frustrating-satisfying once complete-but frustrating nonetheless. Many inner bags were not labeled, so we had to guess which nail or bolt fit the illustration-not too complicated. I am skeptical about the durability-concerned whether it will hold in high or tornado-type winds-but I anticipate the durability to last at least 5 years for normal wear and tear. I am giving it a 7 out of 10 stars for now under durability. The size is larger than I thought it would be. I like the different entries (top or front). I give this shed 10 out of 10 stars for functionality, features and versatility. My experience calling in to have the part shipped was fine. The customer service representative was kind and helpful. The process was smooth. (Don't throw away the instruction booklet-your model number and product ID are on it. You will need these when calling in for missing parts.) I hope it does not take a full week to receive the small part, but I have to wait. If you have patience to install this product, and you are seeking a nice project with a decent outcome, then give this shed a try. (I waited to order the part and completed the phone call in 35 minutes. The part will ship and I should have it in one week-I cannot purchase the missing part at a local hardware store.)

We purchased this unit three years ago and now the top is really warped, the hinges have popped off and we only open it say twice a week it holds the washer dryer it is shaded at different parts of the day and year so it is not baking in the sun all day long. I got on the website to see the warranty of course it is limited

We have put many sheds together in our past. This one had such terrible assembly instructions! it was really difficult to understand which part needed to go where especially where it needed to be screwed. Will really doubt buying another lifetime storage shed ever.

I bought this shed approximately six months ago. I started putting the shed together and due to other obligations and some procrastination, the shed sat in my front yard without the lid for at least a week. It rained during that time and it did not collect water. My teenaged son and I finally finished putting it together and it does not disappoint. I use it to store four bikes and my yard tools and there is space for more. I plan to purchase another one once they are back in stock in the store.

I’ve had to go to war to get missing parts from other manufacturers, but this time Lifetime and Nathan are sending me a missing part no questions asked. Other manufacturers have so many policies that allow them to refuse service so what is he point to have it. Lifetimes customer service team fulfilled an important purpose and I am extremely happy because of it. I most certainly had a great experience which demonstrates that Lifetime cares about every aspect of their business and products. I will recommend their products to people I know and will remember the name when shopping for future products. Thank you Nathan and Lifetime!
