 An Enjoyable DIY Project May 31, 2011
By Isaac A. Davidian
I found this storage shed online, then found the best price at Amazon. With a couple of minor exceptions, the instructions (all pictorial, very little text) were very good. Get some help, though, if you have not had experience assembling similar products. A power screwdriver or drill is a must. No missing parts, in fact a few extra screws and plugs, which are nice to have. Shipping was quick, I actually had received it and finished assembly before Amazon's confirmation of shipment and charging my credit card.

Decent for a specific need Aug 31, 2011
By Joshua Green
This was definitely a project to put together and the directions should have notes for some details in assembly. There were two specific areas where a piece fits two ways, but should really go one way to be correct. Unfortunately, the directions are more crude pictures than word labels and I found the problems after I was almost done. So I had to take it apart and build it again.
This is definitely a two person job of assembly. If I had more yard space I would have gone with a bigger building made of stronger material. This building works really well up next to my house because I don't have a large yard it really maximizes the space I do have.

 A decent product for the price and need Oct 18, 2011
By T. Li
Pro:
1. Good assemble instruction. This is one thing that I was afraid when shopping around among different brands. I did not have any prior similar experience but have no problems to pick up the parts and start to build it.
2. Material seems durable and have lables on them for easy identification.
3. Good package: this model come with the fundation kit so you don't need to purchase other.
4. Fast shipping: this is not related to this product itself but the vendor. The vendor contacted me in short time and set up a date for delivery. Easy, simple and effective.
Con:
1. Although the material seems durable (the frames), the wall and roof panels are thin.
2. Some parts don't have very accurate cutting, such as holes should be aligned all together to be fixed together. But it is not a deal breaker.
Suggestion:
1.Read the assemble instruction first from the front to the back so you have the idea of how thing will be put together. This can give you some knowldege why there are certain parts assembled differently than other similar parts.
2.absolutely get an electric screwer. There is no way you can do it manually.
3.one extra helper will be nice. I put everything together myself except putting the walls in. I have limited space and have to put the parts in somewhere and move between them.
4. Separate and put the parts in groups first before assembling.
Now go and finish your project. :)

 DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM RESTOCKIT.COM Feb 25, 2012
By John
Buyer beware....Restockit.com will not take this product back if you are unsatisfied with the quality. It is an inferior product made of 1 mm thick material similar to that of a porta potty. You will not be able to hang anything from the walls, and if you have kids - keep them away from it. If they crash a bike into the side of the shed, the wall will cave in.
 No standing room & not waterproof Apr 22, 2012
By Ford
Be sure to notice that the door is only 62" tall....not 6'2". I wish I'd paid more attention to that because it was a bit of a shock when I pulled out a door that was only 5'2". That is essentially how tall it is on the inside, too, though there is a little more headroom on the peaked side.
I built the shed anyway because I needed something in that spot and it fit, and because shipping it back seemed like it would be onerous. Once constructed, however, I found that it needed quite a lot of caulking to get it watertight. The plugs that hold the roof together need to be caulked as mentioned in the instructions, but so do many of the seams around the roof if you get winds with your rain like we do here in Seattle. Also, be sure to caulk the floor frame on the inside before installing the floor because the walls are set into a U-frame that collects water that can easily come into contact the sides of the plywood. My one other criticism is that the door doesn't fit quite right so the lock holes on the door handle don't line up. I had to drill them out to get the door to stay shut.
I honestly wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who is taller than 5'2" and/or who needs a space that is fully weather tight. It might take a little longer and be a little more expensive, but I totally wish I'd take the time and energy to learn how to stick build a shed this small.
