Sturdy and works well, has been up over a year and the plastic is still ok with only minor pinholes. When there is a hard freeze I put a tarp over the top or tape the windows shut to prevent cold drafts getting into the plants.
When the temperature drops below 32 degrees F I will run an extension cord with a clamp on utility light fixture and a single incandescent lightbulb and clamp to one of the shelves in the middle. This keeps the interior nice and warm, in fact the pepper plants keep producing even during periods with nightly freezes.
The plants that have grown too big to fit inside the greenhouse now get lined up outside the opposite wall from the light, and get a plastic tarp thrown over using the outside of the greenhouse as one wall, this traps the escaping heat from the bulb and keeps those plants almost just as warm.
The strat cats dont seem to like hanging out in there too much, even when its cold and rainy and theyre invited in with food they prefer to find other shelter. If you dont want cats taking shelter in your greenhouse, thats probably a feature.
Its easy to assemble alone, even if youre unable to distinguish between the different shapes, which you will, the plastic pieces are clearly marked on the bag and on every piece.
Works well lasts multiple seasons
