Great features! Awesome quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am super happy with this shed! Super easy to put together, very sturdy and spacious! Fits perfectly in my yard. Has weather resistant material and I love the skylight feature inside. It as good ventilation as well, which has been super nice!

More than I expected!

First off, this thing requires a ton of assembly, gables, walls, doors, floor, etc. - that took a good solid afternoon - 5+ hours. The next day the building of the shed was not bad, maybe a couple of hours. Finished product is nice, holds what I need it to. Do not know if it's water tight yet. Plastic is strong but go easy on the screws so you don't strip anything out.

Good sized shed

This was a perfect sized shed for what I needed it for although I thought it was difficult to put together and the screws were not individually labeled. The last step to put on the sunroof was !?/;&>#! This is what it said in the directions on the last page.

Looks good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shed was not that bad to set up. I spent where here and there took about 7 hours total all day on a Saturday. There was only a couple of parts that didn't have stamped what they were but the pictures made it easy to tell all the parts were in it. The windows that go in the door you need washers because the heads of the screws are not big enough to grip the window. I did have a difficult time getting the floor put together and had to put ratchet straps on it to suck it in and then kind of wiggle it until it snap together. To me there was also a page with duplicate instructions. 8.16 and 8.17 basically say the same thing except it says to use two different screws. An ADZ and ARV. The ARV screws did not exist. It's just the ADZ screws that you use. All in all I am happy the shed looks good and it has been rained on already and it keeps the water out I had my kids help sort parts and things. My wife was helping with the walls and roof. As far as the wall clips my wife and daughter did those. I was on the outside holding the walls. They weren't that bad. They had to use a hammer to tap them into place. The one I did was not bad so I'm going to say yes they made it easier. There's no other issues. I've started putting shelves into it already. It wasn't bad to level out and it locks really good so I am happy with it.

Lifetime 7x7 Shed Review — Worth It for the Price?

We recently got the Lifetime 7x7 storage shed from Sam's Club and honestly I'm really impressed with it so far. The size is perfect for storing lawn equipment, outdoor toys, gardening supplies, and all the random overflow that kept piling up. It looks much nicer than the typical metal sheds and feels very sturdy once assembled. The skylights and windows make a huge difference inside — it doesn't feel dark or cramped at all. The double doors open wide, which makes getting larger items in and out super easy. I also like that the flooring is included and feels solid. Assembly definitely takes time (1.5 hours between 3 guys) and you NEED a level base, but the instructions were manageable if you go slowly and stay organized. Once built, it feels durable and low maintenance. Overall, it was a great value compared to other sheds we looked at and gives our backyard a much cleaner, organized look. Would definitely recommend it if you need extra storage space without spending thousands on a custom shed. Forgive the mud, we put this together after 4 days straight of rain.

Instructions are horrible!

Just got done assembling the shed and boy was it a nightmare. The shed itself is good and is everything I wanted. It's the instructions of putting it together that made it take longer than needed. None of the hardware was labeled, only the plastic parts themself were labeled. But if the parts woulda been labeled prolly coulda got it done in half the time

Better double check their math

Sooo many problems. For starters, the base that it tells you to build out of wood has a major flaw in the directions. It wants 84 3/4 inches squared on all sides, but the dimensions it tells you to cut the plywood leaves you 3.5 inches SHORT and headed back to the store! tells you cut your 48×96 down to 48×84.75. then cut the next one to 33.5×84.75. 48 33.5 is 81.5. This is the cross beam length for the interior. Someone SCREWED UP ROYALLY! Parts are clearly labeled different than the pictures, so you gotta follow the pics best you can. Absolutely zero differentiation between bolts and screws of differing lengths to know which you should use. The roof design is pathetic. Almost every single screw hole leaks, and they were BARELY tightened. For some insane reason you aren't supposed to anchor the floor to the base until like halfway through, making assembly near impossible. Eventually you will say whoever wrote these is either insane or a moron and just do it your own way. It's the only way you'll ever finish if your kit came as mine did. And I hope security wasn't a big reason you purchased this thing, because my 6 year old can break into it. the lock doesn't line up well, and the latches on the doors can't possibly line up with the holes for the latches, no matter how you manipulate them. The only good thing I say is, unlike most sheds that tell you you're getting a certain footage, only to learn they're rounding up pretty hard, this site is actually the dimensions it should be. If only it didn't leak. I'm putting silicone in all the screw holes to see if that'll help. Overall, very disappointed.

We apologize for the typo in the directions. We're working on getting this fixed! There is a visual I.D. of every part in the manual, and some of the larger pieces have measurements associated with them. Each part is not labeled individually since stickers would increase manufacturing costs, which would raise the sales price.

assembling frustration not worth it

Assembling this thing was impossible. Most bags mislabeled, misprinted/illegible instructions and poor latch fitment (2 different people that assisted confirmed all issues). Had to bend the latch plate to make it fit. Unbelievably frustrating. Had to assemble this thing over 3 days when it should've been done the day I brought it home. I'd have returned it if it was easier. Frustration not worth it. Maybe try saving a couple hundred bucks on an off brand.

miserable experience

Shed arrived 4 days after it was supposed to, no one seemed to know what was happening and then it was just here. Opened it up and it's missing tons of parts so I wasted hours trying to put it together and now I have to wait 2 days to find out if they can send the missing parts.

Nightmare

They promised a delivery date of May 27th. When I called, they told me to wait another 48 hours. One representative was rude and even disconnected the chat. I escalated the issue, and the manager transferred me to EIT, the delivery company, who then promised my storage shed would arrive on June 2nd. It is now June 3rd, and the shed still hasn't been delivered. This has been a terrible experience from start to finish. No customer should be treated this way. I would not recommend purchasing any delivery‑based items from Sam's Club, and this is the reason I'm ending my membership.
