Very well designed product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me clear the air about assembly time.My wife and I spent 6 1/2 hours at a leisurely pace to complete assembly. There isn't anything requiring great physical effort to assemble. We found a video on you tube for our exact model which was extremely helpful. I would have given a five star rating if it weren't for two things. The first is the printed instructions.Each page lists the parts and hardware required for each page of assembly. The problem we had was identifying those items. Not so much the parts, but the fasteners. The pictures of the fasteners is helpful on each page, but a description would have saved us an immense amount of time. I realize they were referenced by an identifying number, but that still left doubt as to which screws were to be used. A brief description such as “use screw ADZ screw size 1/4” by 1” or whatever that particular screw size was, would eliminate the worry of possibly using the wrong one and putting a screw through the wall or roof creating a hole. We spent a lot of time choosing the correct fasteners. The other item we were disappointed with is, both front corner pieces changed color on the corners when following the instructions to fold them to make the corners. I don't feel as though there is any structural compromise, but is certainly takes away from the beautiful quality of the building. This is a very attractive building and looks very expensive, except for where the gray turned almost white when we folded the two panels..What we do like is it is well designed with all the fasteners being installed from the inside eliminating exposure to the elements. Also we believe as good a fit as all the parts have, bees and mice will not be able to get in. We recommend you purchase if you want a quality building.

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.

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

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.

Not a good review

I do not recommend this product based on my experience so far. The instruction manual is poorly written and does not clearly explain how to assemble the parts or which nails, screws, and other hardware should be used at each step. It would be much more helpful if the manual included clear, step-by-step instructions with detailed illustrations and a complete list of all the materials needed for assembly. I'm hoping the product itself turns out to be good, but if I continue having issues because of the unclear instructions, I will be returning it. Please improve the manual so future customers have a much easier assembly experience.

Nice Building.

Took my wife and I 7 hours to assemble. One leftover part: a rectangular block of black plastic about 5/8" thick. ? Pretty good directions and the You Tube video helped.

7x7 Shed

This shed was just what I needed to clean out my garage and store my yard tools. I can park my other car in garage now. It was not hard to assemble with the help of the videos that I could access to assist me.

Small but Mighty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shed seems fairly small from the outside but it really is the perfect size. The build took us (we are inexperienced in shed building) roughly 3-4 hours from start to finish. We had 2-3 people helping at a time. There are TONS of instructions which seemed over whelming at first but was actually very nice as it laid out the “how to” step by step. My advice? Allow plenty of time to build it. Trust the process and don’t rush it. Aesthetically, it’s very nice! Beautiful even.This shed is FAR from an eye sore ( which let’s face it, a lot of sheds are..) The part I love the most is the skylights at the top! No more pulling a flashlight out during the day to find what I need in the shed! Well done, lifetime.

Love my little shed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shed is holding up really well. Both of the doors are very easy to open when I need to load larger items. The vent keeps it from feeling stuffy. Especially love the moveable hooks. Only downside once it was all set up are the small holes where the floor and walls connect. They seemed just big enough for ants or spiddrs to get in so I covered each one with black duct tape.
