Fit the space I have like a glove...dimensions accurate. Love the smell of cedar! Piece fit relatively well...though a couple cut just a bit off. They could have provide a bit more with pre-drilled hole, but all in all it looks great.

Solid materials, good instructions
Looks good. Easier to install than expected with good instructions. All parts were included and fit well, including trim pieces. One star off for untreated wood and slightly smaller interior dimensions than expected.

    It was missing 2 trim pieces that I did not discover until it was nearly completely assembled. I fabricated the missing pieces out of a fence board. It largely went together well but aligning the walls and back was a bit confusing and they could give better direction for that plus where to caulk. Shingles are very fragile, I split several of them. Given all that, it is over priced.

    Cedar was great! Instructions good. Only con was not all wood parts were labeled, why some and not all. Would save time if all screws and nails were labeled. But the shed came together and looks great!

    This kit results in a fairly nice shed, but a lot of tedious labor is involved. There are some very good things about the product but a few negatives. Most wooden parts were well formed and, in general, fit together pretty well. The particle board roof base was a tad warped at the edges. The metal parts are very good and screws and nails are provided in a useful pouch. The directions could be better. We were definitely confused in spots. We had to do one step of the assembly over. The shed is not quite square at the back. I had to come up with some cedar spacers in order to attach a couple of pieces of trim on the sides near the rear. There was a significant unprotected spot at the top of the shed in back. I used the better part of a whole tube of caulk sealing it up. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the roof will be watertight.

    Since I am not terribly good at reading directions, I assembled the shed with the help of my brother-in-law in an afternoon.It’s a perfect size and looks good inside and out.

    Clear instructions. I was not used to the softness of cedar. I also snapped the provided square drive bit. The shed went together with little trouble.

    Matched my expectations. Spare and left over pieces of wood were useful for 'customising' the interior.

    Perfect
    This is a great little garden shed. Fit perfectly in the space I had, quite a bit of room for storage. Pretty easy to put together...did it on my own, but an extra pair of hands wouldn't hurt. Cedar shingles smell great! Lol

    This is a really charming and gorgeous little shed. I absolutely love it. However, it was much too difficult for me to assemble (with family help) because none of the many, many parts were marked, nor anything pre-drilled. (I built my last shed myself.) I had to hire someone to assemble it and frankly, they didn't have that easy a time of it and it took longer than expected. Having read your reviewers accounts carefully, I was surprised at the ease and speed with which they built it. Overall it was worth it though because it is a neatly designed product, with lots of good storage and it looks just terrific, especially for the price. I'd give it a 5 star were it not for assembly difficulty. I am about to apply an oil stain as suggested by the manufacturer and very happy with the product..

    Product arrived at home in two long, pretty heavy boxes. Parts list helps you determine whether everything is there. It was. Directions are good. Be sure to read and follow them carefully. I put it together myself across two days, spending approximately five hours each day. Looks great!

    These people could learn a lot from IKEA. There could be a lot more pre-drilling done and a better choice of fasteners. Not an overly thought out product with low levels of quality control.

    overall great
    I have had the shed together for a while. The materials and instructions are good. The process is not for someone without skills. It must be assembled on a flat surface and when moved into its final location then re-shimmed level. Only one of my pieces was cut backwards or I has two lefts and should of had a right and left. This was not a problem as I used a wire brush to texture the exposed side to match. I had to adjust the shelves to fit my recycling bins with some 2X2 that I had. Overall a great product.
