Took me and my teen about 90 minutes to assemble. I loaded bricks all around the base and tied to a sturdy base so it doesnt blow away. I live in a very windy area. Its Ben through 5-6 big wind and rain storms already and never moved an inch!
I grow mostly dahlias and I used this to start my tubers, seedlings and cuttings. It is pretty sturdy and it did well in mild hail, heavy rains, and 30 mph wind. I put it on my patio, so I could not anchor it with tie downs. Instead I used 2x4s on top of the cover flaps which are~8 at the ground and I put my bags of potting soil on the bottom racks until I got the upper shelves fill.
It did get to hot for some of my tubers as soon as the days started to warm up into the 70's, even with the windows open and I did loose a few that were on the upper shelves. To increase the ventilation, I left the door open an put a woven shade cloth over the front door frame.
Only minor problems. One of the door ties ripped at the seam (easy fit). Also during assembly, one connector was missing and one connector fitted poorly and when I press hard to get the pole fully in place it busted. Both were quickly and kindly replaced at no charge by the supplier and the they gave me extras, all at no charge. <3
Assembly was simply all the poles and the connectors were labelled and it came with a diagram. I'm 61 and I got it together by myself.
I purchased this to get plants started. I also purchased a misting system (6 nozzles) Together, it was well worth the less than
$120 invested! I would suggest better stakes and tie-down rope
Have the greenhouse up for 3 months. The plastic of the house seems to be pretty sturdy. The metal piping to hold the shape is adequate, be nice if it were more sturdy. The shelfs are cheap but work. Two of the ties to open the windows and the door have already broken. The wind tie down stakes are a joke. replace with a brick at each corner. The major redeeming factor is the price is low. I think I may get two seasons out of the greenhouse.
I bought this greenhouse last week. It came quickly and it seems did a great job at passing my delivery instructions on to UPS. I followed others suggestions and used a rubber mallet to put it together. I feel like this should be listed as a requirement. Sometimes it will seem like you have the poles pushed all the way into the plastic connectors but when you hit it with the rubber mallet it slides in more. If the poles are not all the way into the connectors than the cover will not fit. I had no issues with assembly and I absolutely love my greenhouse!
Its perfect! Definitely on the bigger end. I fit 16 3lb bags on 6 racks. Bottom racks are empty still. Recommend zip tying wire mats to the bars. My plants are THRIVING! Best purchase ever!!!!
This is a great little greenhouse for the $100. With that said, I live in Southern Cal and it's way too hot here. For growers in places like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Cal, etc., this would be a fantastic little set-up if there were an ALTERNATIVE COVER MADE OF SILK like the small windows have. I still want my plants to be protected from the wind, blowing dirt, and insects, but a greenhouse isn't quite as right as a GROW house. i've had to cut a huge back door for it, plus more windows around the top of the house to let even more heat out. I put a thermometer inside and its a good 10-15 degrees warmer inside. If I put the house into more shade, then my plants don't have enough sunlight. I looked all over for a starter experience and a small green house to see if I liked it, but i'm glad I didn't spend any more money. If the makers of this unit made a HOT-WEATHER GROWING HOUSE, they might have a huge market out here in the West. I'm slowly cutting big doors into all four sides of this and installing silk windows. The wire racks seem a tiny bit flimsy but they easily double or triple up, and it makes a nice space for plants that like to trellis. Greenhouse was relatively easy to put together and gloriously light enough to drag around into the best place in the yard after it's assembled.

It's so easy to put together

It is small but perfert for starters
My first greenhouse, and we love it, easy assemble. Perfect for first timers, we will see how it works and we'll get a bigger one next year
Great greenhouse for the $$

Not Bad for price

Fair for the price
