Nice shed and Easy to Relocate

Had it almost a month now. Enjoying it. Able to assemble with just one person, plan on about 4-6 hours depending on how handy you are. Watch the video first, it helps!

Shed is beautiful, but directions and materials could be better

Once completed the shed is beautiful. Directions are very poor. Many pieces could have already been installed on other pieces. shed materials were not completelt drilled through making it difficult to put materials through the designated spots.

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.

Easy construction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great construction and easy to put together. I was able to do it alone in about three hours (not rushing). However, some parts are not labeled and the instructions can get confusing at times. I recommend using the QR codes in the instructions when you hit one of those points.

Nice, structurally sound, fairly easy to assemble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only frustration is the wall pegs lining up with the floor insert holes and screw holes not easily aligning. Make sure you read manual carefully and watch the video before and throughout assembly. It is sturdy and looks great. I have to build a foundation before I start to store items inside but it looks to be adequate for what I will need to hold and looks aesthetically pleasing and modern.

Great Product Tip for Assembly

So far I am impressed by this Lifetime shed. Shipping was easy, confirmed by phone before delivery, and shows up in two boxes on a single pallet. As other reviews mention, the assembly does take some time and a little bit of skill. The online videos are great for reference when the pictures or instructions in the manual are unclear. I docked a single star from my review because a few of the screw anchors used in the roof assembly stripped or did not hold. If you happen to run into this same issue during your assembly, I found that using a small piece of the excess window seal tape worked like a charm (they provide plenty). Just wrap a small amount of the tape around the anchor before setting it into place. The tape will hold the anchor in place while you drive the screw into the roof. I would purchase this same shed again.

‘ 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.

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.

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

Well built. Looks good

We bought this shed to store my daughter's supplies and equipment for her sheep. WE like the way the doors open and close so easily.
