We received the shed not damaged and as we were supposed to. The manual is very good, we were quite surprised. Considering how many parts there are, it was easy to follow. I recommend an electrical tools, otherwise you will have a wrist inflammation. :) Before we bought it we read on the official site how easy it is to put together. 6 hours max, 1-2 people is enough and blah blah blah.... Oh well it took us in total probably like 20 hours, we worked on it 4 afternoons. The floor and the sides were ok, until we reached the roof part. Truly? It was pain. You definitely need more than one person to put this together. I would recommend 3 people for the roof part. Unless we did something wrong. Which I do not carry less about anymore as there is no way I am doing this again. :) Btw most of the holes are pre-drilled but sometimes there is a hole missing which is not a big deal as you can easily make your own and all the screws come with it properly divided into different packages to make it easy for you . So overall, we love the design, it is quite sturdy especially after putting plywood on the ground floor. We decided not to paint it for now and let it be as it is because painting means repainting in a couple of years which we would prefer not to. This way it should be worry free. Good luck if you decide to buy it and enjoy the result as much as we do.

I bought this, and was able to assemble it totally by myself in about 5 hours, with no real hurry at all. Overall, the instructions were good, the fit was good. A couple of times I got ahead of myself and had to back up in the process. Also, so far, it seems to be totally water-tight. I also purchased some motion sensing battery lights for the interior, which is nice. I am a little disappointed in options to add shelves or racks as part of the system. There are two shelf options, but assumed there would be more.

A lot of time and some serious screws. Overall it’s an awesome shed that looks incredible.

Total of 8 hours to build. I’m very handy and for the most part very happy. It’s a wonderful bang for the buck. I would buy another one. It does take a second person to help with the roof assembly. I did double up on the roof screws as it just made sense.

The hard part was setting a foundation. After that, the shed was fun to build. I was able to build by myself. I expected a wobbly result, but after the screws went in (a ton of screws), the shed proved it could withstand some heavy wind and rain. I'm preparing the ground for a 2nd one to extend the first. Impressive engineering behind it.

Excellent quality shed. Takes a solid 6 hours to put together yourself. When putting on the roof, you definitely need a 2nd person. Instructions are good. Just don’t be alarmed that as u assemble the shed, not all the holes line up (some holes may even be missing). But excellent quality shed especially for the cost.

Not easy to build but can be done in one day if you have some experience. Looks and feels sturdy. Is beautiful with attention paid to details on door and everything. Definitely worth the money considering similar sized wooden sheds cost almost twice as much.

The building was very easy to assemble. Many reviewers said you needed 2 people to assemble it. I was able to complete it by myself in about 4 hours once the base was built. Instructions have measurements and a cut list for building the base that make it very simple. The building appears to be water tight. We've already had multiple rain storms without any problems. I would recommend this shed.

Pretty easy to put together. I did most of it on my own. All the required hardware was in the kit and the assembly instructions were easy to follow.

I built the entire thing (including the foundation) by myself in two full days. Best Kit ever.
