Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had my doubts. I was especially doubtful when it arrived and I saw all the pieces along with an instructional manual with no words, just pictures. Actually, that worked out pretty well. I don't like instruction manuals anyway. My wife and I spent about one full day putting this together. It has a lot of pieces but is well-engineered. This greenhouse (6X8) is a well-designed, sturdy, attractive piece of work. The door works very well with a latch and a magnet to keep it open or closed. The vent hatch is sweet (gets really hot in the sun). I built two 7' 10" wooden work benches inside to use for my seedling trays. It has rained twice in two days and this unit is tight. A couple of recommendations (hints) - these are included in the instructions but they bear repeating: * Don't tighten the bolts until you are done - you will need the slack. * If something doesn't seem to fit - don't force it. Step back and look more closely - you may find you made a mistake. * Most of the part numbers are embossed on the pieces but not all. Also note that 996 is also 669 upside down * If you don't love your partner or lack patience, I do not recommend building this together * If you have a few pieces left over, I did too. Hopefully they are extras. I recommend this unit for the price. I am 6'3" and can stand upright in the center of it - better yet, I bought a little wooden stool. Feb. 2014 - this greenhouse has now withstood several high-wind storms (winds in excess of 50 mph with gusts 70 mph) and four feet of snow this winter! It is amazing. No a problem in any way - delighted with this purchase.
