Was a bit daunted at first when I opened the box, but once started, went together very easily. Took a few hours at a relaxed pace, but we’ll worth the effort. Recommend you have a decent screwdriver capable battery drill - makes putting together so much easier! Great looking after painting and very well designed in my opinion.

It’s not as robust as I expected. It looks nice though

Firstly, the shed arrived on the stated day in 2 largish flat packs. I was working single-handed but had some clamps I use for general woodworking which helped a lot. As others have found, the panels, doors and lids seem well made, though most of the tongue and groove timber is only held on by staples. The instructions were functional, although some larger scale drawings showing the joints in more detail would make them easier to use for most people.I had the main structure assembled within an hour, but that was when the process slowed somewhat. As others have noted, the ironmongery (hinges, handles, bolts) are of dire quality, so it needed a trip to my local alphabet DIY store (think not A, but B and...) to get some brass hinges and galvanised handles and bolts. The included stuff felt like it was made from heavy duty cooking foil! I also bought a length of mild steel plate to strengthen the front of the bin store at the bottom, where the original structure was very flimsy because it was unconnected. It is now very secure, with 3 solid hinges on each door and lid adding additional support and rigidity. I also gave the outside surfaces 2 coats of preservative and the inside surfaces one coat, so will report back later about durability.Overall, the store now looks good and is very solid, just frustrating that the included ironmongery was so poor, necessitating further expense.

The assembly was ok if you are diy proficient with the right tools. The sturdiness was poor and I had to buy 10 steel L-brackets to reinforce the cross members - these should be included in the parts provided.

The construction of the lids is poorly designed so that there is little or no chance of keeping the contents dry. Also as I understand it is not sensible to screw into end grain of wood whereas this is common throughout this product. It is just a cheap and nasty item for a what I would call a quality price.

Bought and installed for a customer who had seen it online. For the money this is flimsey. I had to make several modifications to strengthen it up

We where really disappointed it said no assembly it came with so many parts one broken panel no screws lids handles no instructions

I'm so very please with my purchase. Many of my neighbour's have passed comments on it! It is a super item to hide our ugly looking three wheelie bins.
