I'll give it 5 stars for the finished product, but the instructions need a lot of work. If the shed includes the snow load kit, why instruct to install it AFTER the trusses are already put together, causing you to have to dissemble the truss rods which were a pain to begin with. Also, if you follow the instructions to install the snow load kit after the long skylight, you won't be able to access the top of the truss rod. So install the snow load kit before the long skylight! Also, when piecing the floor together, do not pull the pieces together tight, because this will create problems later when there isn't enough length for the walls. Just lock the floor panels, push them together GENTLY, then screw them together. I recommend installing the door on the side as far down as you can, which is 2-1/2 feet from the end. You will be much happier that way. Lifetime says it's OK and makes no difference in the sheds integrity, but you have to figure things out for yourself when assembling because the instructions are only given to place the door in the center, which is a total waste in my opinion. I assembled almost the entire shed by myself in about 2 days, but you will need help when trying to get the 20-ft skylight up and in place on top of the shed. I didn't have too many problems with holes lining up, but then again I spent countless hours on my wooden pad ensuring it was square and level. Even so, I needed shims on both doors to get them to operate correctly, although the shims do come with the shed. After all the hassle assembling, it is worth it in the end. I couldn't find another reputable shed company with a shed this size, so 2 days of cussing and tediously assembling this thing was worth it in the end. Very good looking and spacious.
