This shed took two people over six hours to complete, but it was worth the effort. The instructions are 90% great and the remaining 10% discernible. Out of a gazillion parts only one screw was missing. One handyperson could probably manage to assemble it but not easily.

It is a beautiful shed in the end, but the assembly was quite challenging and time intensive. It was very difficult to get the parts to line up correctly and there are instances where additional details regarding the orientation of a piece of the specific details regarding notches on the trusses would be so helpful. We ended up having to backtrack many times and reassemble throughout the process because there was not enough details in the instructions and there is not a specific assembly video for this model, so we were having to use a different video as a supplement.

2nd shed nice design, everything went well except putting wall panel bottom tabs in still a little tough on corner panels. Would have liked same skylight as our 7x7 shed. A extra window would have been great also or an option to add one at time of purchase. Overall we like both our Lifetime sheds!

I received the shed in a timely manner but it was missing some parts. This was disturbing because I had hired someone to put the shed together and they were unable to do so because of the missing parts. I called customer service and after a medium wait for someone to answer the customer service representative I dealt with was professional and ordered the parts that I needed and I have received notice that they have shipped and will be delivered in a timely manner. Kudos to the customer service rep

The tolerances on the shed is ridiculous. We live in Arizona and even in 80 degree weather the pieces warp and the tolerances for the holes the screws go into are so small that it's impossible to get everything lined up correctly. The designers of this need to increase tolerance levels because it is simply too tight to be workable. Specifically, pieces were warped or not straight which made it difficult to line up the holes or grooves.

I bought this this to replace a rickety old tin shed that came with the house when we bought it. It was sitting on a 12x15 concrete pad so I wanted one that was bigger than what was available in the store (10x8). I ordered it and it arrived about a week and a half later. You will have to coordinate delivery with the shipping agent--they will call you to arrange a delivery date/time. The shed arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and I finished assembling it by the following Friday. My 13 year old son and I worked off and on to get it done. The instructions suggest three adults put this together. That is not an overstatement. Help is not optional! I would recommend strongly setting aside a place to organize and inventory all the hardware bags. They are clearly labeled and there are many! Do NOT open the bags until you are ready to use them. Only count out the parts you need for each step in the instructions. Seems like common sense, but it will save headaches down the road. I had no issues with missing parts. The instructions are fairly idiot proof. It's worthwhile checking out the LIFETIME youtube videos on assembly as well to get a picture of what you are getting into. The assembly starts with the roof trusses and doors before you even get to laying out the floor. The floor goes together fairly quickly. The walls and roof take the majority of time. Also, because you are working with plastic, things won't always line up or fit together initially. I would emphasize to ensure that where you are putting the shed is LEVEL. I know the pad I put it on wasn't 100% level and it caused some misalignment with screw holes. Had to do some "manipulating" to get things 100% in alignment. Patience and a little wiggle here and there generally will do the trick. Overall, putting this together, while time consuming (I'm guessing probably16-20 hours), was not a huge challenge. Not sure I would elect to build one in the middle of summer again. As seen in the posted photo, didn't put the shutters on yet because it was approaching 100. I'll add them later. I'm sure this will serve its purpose for many years to come.

I purchase this one years back, within the first year it started falling apart. Screws pop off the panels, you just cant screw them in again because its plastic. I contacted Lifetime and they wanted to send me replacement pieces. Basically I'd have to take the shed apart to change out panels. Didn't want that cuz its huge pain to put together. If I could, I'd give mine away. Move on to a real shed.

I love it and the quality. The delivery of the item sucked though. No resolution to my satisfaction on that one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm overall happy with my shed. However I felt the directions could have been written better.

Took a while but all parts were here and went together well. Only problems were with shipping and delivery.
