Great looking shed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put the shed up this week. It only took 6 hours to put together. Instructions were easy to follow. Most important is be sure your base is level before you start.

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.

No happy at all with the quality of lifetime shed

We bought the shed 3 weeks ago to make additional space for garden tools, the directions weren’t that clear it took over 6 hours and one of the door is warped and doesn’t work as designed, leaving a big gap. So frustrated after so many hours of work to end up with this problem!! I very disappointed.

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.

7X7 SHED

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this shed. It is sturdy and worth every penny I paid for it. Putting it together was easy but some parts do require 2 people. We bought another shed last year and spent twice the money and it is a piece of crap. We plan to purchase another one of these next year.

Fairly Easy to Assemble

We bought this shed in May to replace a chicken coop. After I leveled the ground, I built a foundation of treated lumber and a plywood floor. The assembly was easy enough, but when I tried to install the skylights, they were too long. I double checked the instructions and even had my wife and neighbor check it out to make sure I wasn't missing something. We all agreed the panels were too long. After trimming 1/2 -inch, they fit like a charm. So far the only issue we are having is that we are getting water leaking from outside on the perimeter of the walls on one side of the shed.🤔 The walls are dry and there are no leaks from the roof. The base sits about 4-1/2-inches above ground, so I have no I sea where the water is coming from. Other than that, the shed is a definite upgrade from our old coop.

Nice looking Shed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed and built an oversized concrete pad 8' x 8' for it I wish they had extra screws, I for short quite a few ADZ x 8, ADVx 6, ARVx 1 and HDW x 2 (clips). 2 AHS end plugs for tubes were for smaller tubes and would not fit the ends of tubes they were for. At 72 years, this took 8 hours with a helper to install! It's a nice shed and my wife likes it.

Nice shed but the Sam's needs to do better.

I would never recommend to order a big item that has to get delivered by the 3rd party delivery service EFW ever again. First of all Sam's dropped the ball on scheduling the shed on the date I selected (delivery date 6/29) when I made the purchase, (purchase date 6/15). Sam's decided to ship it out on the date it was suppose to get delivered. So I decided to contact EFW on 6/30 when the shed never showed up and they told me that they didn't receive the order until 6/29 (which was the day it was suppose to get delivered). They then told me 5 to 7 days from that point. I then decided to call Sam's, which of course was an AI operator. It took a bit to actually get to talk to someone and when I finally did, the woman I spoke to was very nice but didnt really give an actual answer as to why the order slipped through the cracks. The order took the full 7 days and the updates were horrible. I signed up for the text messages and maybe got two. Then finally on the 7/8 I got an email stating it would be delivered on 7/10, only to come home from work on 7/8 to it sitting on my sidewalk. Sam's needs to do better with big delivery purchases, putting the orders though properly and with who they get to deliver. My review on the actual shed is good though.  The assembly was fairly easy to comprehend. You will need two people for sure to put it together. Worth it for the price since I purchased it on instant savings.

Not as easy to assemble as it appears!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Watched the video and it was helpful. The instructions were laid out well and we had all the pieces. The notches in the right front corner of the floor were cut backward. It would not have been a problem if I had started adding the panels in the right front corner, BUT the instructions have you start with the right side panel and once that panel is in place, you are stuck. So, I had to cut out the notches with my pocket knife. The only other problem I had was the center truss to support the skylight kept falling off while I was trying to insert the second panel of the skylight. It might be better if that piece was screwed into the skylight. The video, made it look quite a bit easier than reality. (I am sure the guy in the video had assembled more than one of these buildings. Plus putting it together indoors probably made it easier too! 😉) All in all, I am pleased with the finished product

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
