Shed was easy to put together - although it takes longer than the stated 2-4 hours. We had 3 guys working together and it took about 6 solid hours. Shed was shipped super fast! Only took about a week to get it! Vinyl is a little flimsy - I'm hoping it will hold up well in the Kansas winds. Otherwise shed is attractive and very roomy.

Bottom Line: not recommended
There is no way anyone can put this shed together in 2-4 hours. It took me all day to put this together with the help of my son, and I have very good construction skills. My recommendation is to read and re-read the instructions carefully a couple of days before you start installing. Installed on top of a concrete slab, which added to stability. Thank goodness for my powertools, as I had to cut a few pieces that just weren't correctly cut, and I had to create many new drill holes because the metal is so flimsy the screws wouldn't attach. The plastic is also flimsy and I dont like that the base pieces are metal--look forward to their rusting in our South Florida climate. Thanks to 2 tubes of silicone caulking, the shed is dry (be sure to caulk around the roof corners). Installed insulation under the front door as there is a 1/2" gap below the door, the kit doesn't contain any kind of door threshold, and I didn't want water and insects coming in through the front door. I'll probably create some kind of high wind strapping, because I don't think the structure will withstand much wind and I don't want it flying off into my neighbor's yard. I bought this because it costs half of what a pre-built structure costs, but I don't think it's going to last.
