Definitely needs improvement

Could have better instructions and video's have to constantly go back and forth between them to find out what hardware to use etc they do not show/provide that information in the video's which would be more helpful also the labels on parts could be better

Sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this to store my seasonal decor in, it is the perfect size, and looks nice in my yard. Assembly was ok, definitely look for a video on YouTube for assistance. This shed seems very sturdy, much better than some other brands that I looked at.

Hard to follow directions

The instruction manual is very confusing to follow due to none of the metal poles being labeled at all. Also what it has listed in each box is not accurate and you must open both boxes in the very beginning. The letters on the bags with the screws do not always match what it says in the manual.

‘ Lifetime' of pain and suffering.

Absolutely a horrific assembly process. Expect 12 hours and endless frustration with each and every step. Screws (GJZ) strip more than 50% of time and impossible to back out. Hinge tube (FVW) parts don't fit (tube doesn't fit into doors and won't fit into part AHO door bushing. video demonstrates steps in seconds that take hours. Do not buy or consider unless you have a retired schlep or lots of money/time on your hands. Shed looks good, but wobbly as you will never finish assembly with so many GJZ screws only half way in and stripped.

Good brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it as open item and customer service sent all missing hardware free of charge. Now I love this product more.

Great Features & Service, Minnmal Maintenance

Perfect size 8' X 5' for lawn equipment . Need availability to add solar sensor lights and rain gutters. Your marketing could find additional business with these options.

Part was missing - the missing par is being sent to my home.

I am still putting the shed together which I had to pause over a missing part. I waited over an hour to talk to a customer service person. I spoke to "Trenton" who was excellent and said he would send me the missing part.
