It took me several days, but I was able to put this together by myself with the help of a scaffold. The shed is extremely flimsy before you put the metal braces up. I had a hard time getting the holes for the roof pegs to line up, but I didn't level the shed beforehand, so that was likely my fault. The shed did not come with the lock that was mentioned in the description. One of the supports, that the side walls slide into, was defective. The plastic that covered the metal support wasn't long enough. I had to drill holes for the screws to go into. This also left a gap at the top of the support, which rain can get into. Some of the plastic pieces were misshaped, but I was able to use a hair dryer to heat them up and bend them into the correct shapes. This makes me wonder what will happen if it gets too hot outside though. Will the shed melt and morph in shape? The kit came with lots of extra pieces. That's good, especially since some of the parts are the same color as the ground/dirt and are hard to find if you drop them. I wound up using plywood for the floors. I had to cut the boards into 4x4 squares because they were too heavy for me to lift on my own. The dimensions inside are 7.68'7.68', not 8'x8'. I wish there was a way to secure them to the metal floor grid, but they seem to stay in place once you have things loaded into the shed. Overall, I still prefer this to a metal or wooden shed, for durability purposes, but I worry about leaning things against the walls or using any sort of shelving systems that you can buy to attach to the walls. I worry they will give and fall apart. I bought a 74" heavy duty plastic shelf for the inside. It will only fit in the very center of the shed against the back wall because it's so tall, but it is a great addition.
