All the parts were there. Not all of them are well identified and the instructions could be a bit clearer. But with patience and effort it went together just fine. I definitely recommend staining it before you assemble. That will make your life easier.

Panelized. Arrived in 2 boxes- nicely packaged including screws (square drive; bit included). Good instructions. All materials in good shape w good fit/finish EXCEPT roof plywood was warped. With extra effort to flatten & screw down roof, shed looks great and is dry inside after several rains.

This shed was easy to assemble, though it took longer than expected. It's useful to have 2 drills: one for a drill bit and one for the screwdriver attachment, so that you don't have to keep switching. Almost nothing is pre-drilled. It would be very difficult to pre-drill, given the way everything fits together a little wonky. Sometimes pieces are warped, sometimes they're just a little too short (or in one case, too long), so you need to make small adjustments as you go to optimize the gaps or center things. It took two of us 5 hours, and I had everything marked and planned out in advance, so there was no down-time or time spent figuring stuff out. I'm not sure how people do it in less time. In any case, though, it looks great, and I really like it!

The shed is excellent quality. It took a while to put together with minor adjustments. We painted it to match our house. It blends in nicely and not an eye sore to the neighbors. In fact one neighbor helped assemble it and the other is ordering one just like it. Very happy with our purchase. T

I'm buying two others
Not that difficult to put together just take your time. I pre-stained everything on the Saturday and had it all together by the early afternoon the next day. Probably the best set of instructions I've seen in years, and I love the fact it comes with all the screws and roofing nails as well as a screw bit. Surprising how well on the pre-cut pieces fit together. We'll be ordering a couple more to put in different places on the property.

Very easy to assemble and looks great. The doors seemed to be cut a little narrow on my kit, even with the covering strip. That said, very happy with delivery and product.

Fairly easy assembly
This unit arrived fast! At least in the time frame promised. As I am fairly adept with hammers and tools, I found this unit easy to assemble. Looks good and hopefully will last for awhile. We live in a condo and this fit perfectly on our deck.

Great Shed!
Wonderful little shed! We bought it to store our garbage cans and garden tools. It looks fantastic close to our house!

The assembly required is not worth the more attractive-than-a-sturdy-plastic shed option when it would end up costing several time the purchase price to hire someone to assemble it (hours and hours of work, tons of screws and small parts, pages of instructions, not what we expected when purchasing)

Overall I am happy with the purchase. The shed is just what I needed. It arrived with no shipping damage and all the wooden parts were there. The assembly went well and the instructions were reasonable clear. I would recommend the shed to friends.

Easy to build, it serves it's purpose but definitely add caulking to the inside to protect against moisture and is possible thin insulation inside. By adding a some items you can assure this shed will last.

I like how the shed looks.. I wanted something that looked attractive since we are storing garden tools in a heavily accessed area. The only problem I had was putting the shed together. I was not skilled enough and needed to call in help. In the end, I appreciate having the shed, but had wanted to assemble it myself.

I don't recommend this product because of the time and effort it took to put together. I invested a total of 15 hours in the set up process. Time included drilling new holed in some of the door brackets, recutting some of the wood. It is a lot of steps with a very long slow process. The end product is good but the time invested was almost equal in cost to the cost of the shed.

Looks/Smells Awesome!
I love this shed - it looks great..and has that wonderful cedar smell to it. Make sure when you assemble this that it's truly stationed on flat level ground. It will save a lot of hardships in the future. It takes a long while to assemble - the main parts assemble quick - the finishings (Flange, Latches, Trim etc) is what makes this project go longer (just over 4hrs+ for me)..but i'm not that handy ;)

Very nice, sturdy little shed. Went together easily. I added silicone caulking and a penetrating oil. It has small feet that keep it up off of the ground, which is nice in the rainy climate.

Nice looking shed
Great looking shed for a small space. It took two of us and some extra tools to put this together. I chose to stain it and it was done in 2 days.

This was a fairly easy project to do. I took the extra time needed to stain all exposed pieces before putting together. Cuts were all good. One small beveled strip that goes on back of shed had split in transit. Still usable.

Good shed. Keeps the moisture out. Best instructions I've ever seen. Every step is laid out clearly with plenty of illustrations. Lots of modifications required though. Had to re-miter the trim adjacent to roof and the hinges were way too small for the pre-drilled holes in the doors. Also, some of the shingles are warped. The plywood roof underlayment is also warped. Still, I'd recommend this shed to anyone. The cedar smells awesome.
