Easy to put together!
Would RecommendThis was as easy as can be to put together. We did it in 2 days due to busy schedules. We put 12 inch cement stepping stones as our base. Worked perfectly! We are looking at another for our bicycles, just a bit bigger.
Door warped in less then 24
Would RecommendI bought this on 4/1/2017 @ 8pm actually I bought 2 of them. I was very excited about them. So I put one together in my garage. And WOW that was easy. The next day I moved it outside ( Saturday ) around 8am, and then around 3 pm that same day the right door was open and after a closer looked I noticed it was warped. The temperture was 62 ish.

very pleased with shed
Would RecommendThis was much easier to put together than I expected. We used a little liquid soap applied with a paper towel to slide the sides together. My son who is 6ft. tall did not need a ladder. We used only a cordless screwdriver and drill. The directions were very easy to follow and whole project from emptying the box to completion took 1 1/2 hours by 2 very mechanically challenged people to complete.
Rubbermaid Roughneck Storage Shed
It will take two people to put this storage shed together. Read the instructions and follow them totally. I lined up the pieces in the order of the instructions. My wife held the parts while I put in the screws. It was easy to install the parts. I was not in a hurry and spent two hours putting the shed together.
Great value and easy to assemble
Would RecommendI bought this a year ago to help free up space in my home. I store holiday supplies and lawn tools out there. The quality exceeded my expectations. The assembly was even easier than I thought. I did need to calk a few areas that the rain blew rain into when it was extremely windy, but I expected that there would be some seams that would need that. Now I'm wanting to extend the shed and looking for more.

Missing Parts (wall panel)
Would Not RecommendPurchased the Rubbermaid Roughneck medium vertical storage shed from Lowes. The box was not damaged and was sealed with straps and plastic. Picked the shed up from the store. Just tried to put it together and discovered I was missing the left rear wall panel "C" but had and extra right rear wall panel "E". Because each wall panel is unique the shed can not be assembled without panel C. There are not a lot of moving parts to this shed (only 8 wall panels) each wall panel has its part identifi...
It is the perfect size for my needs
Would RecommendI bought this on Black Friday, and today the weather was warm enough to get outside and put it together. Everything went together very well all of the parts fit and I didn't need to use soap to lubricate the joints. It looks very nice and it appears to be sturdy. I have it tucked in under the eves of the house so it is protected on the top, the right side, and the back. The one thing that I did notice was that when the sun started warming the right door it immediately began to warp. Once the ...

Wish doors were reversible
I had a couple of handymen put this together today and they seemed to have no problem; it went together quickly. Since it's only been up for about 2 hours, I don't have much to say about its durability, etc., but I will say that I wish the doors were reversible. The location where I wanted to put it fitted into a kind of section between the wall of my condominium and the patio fence, but if it was put there, only the left door would be able to open. Not a problem for my usage -- but they wa...
Needs absolutely flat foundation
Would Not RecommendThis is a fairly flimsy, thin plastic, an absolutely flat, solid foundation is critical. Even given that, the door installation is somewhat sketchy; it will be interesting to see how this holds up long term. For the price, one could probably build a wooden structure just as quickly as it takes to get the foundation in place (we used 16 x 16 pavers on sand) and just as cheaply, if not more so. It will do the job, but I'm concerned about long-term durability. Rubbermaid could take some less...
Door hinge problem in hot weather.
Would Not RecommendThis unit was purchased 12/5/15 for my backyard, I loved it, but! when the heat is on during summer time the roof curves towards top and the doors are falling out because the top part of the hinge is no longer reaching the opening in the roof it's supposed to be in. I have absolutely nothing hanging on the walls of the shed, I put a shelving unit inside and everything is on the shelves. so no weight is dragging the door or walls down. I put a brick on top corner of each door, but frankly, tha...

Decent Sturdy, ez to build = Great for my purposes
Would RecommendThe box it comes in is a bit heavy but a bystander assisted me lifting onto my roof racks on my sedan. I assembled it quickly by myself with usual tools.(magnetic large phillips screwdriver/cordless drill 1/16drill bit/50-80lbs. Weight) its solid product held up through heavy rains+winds! But I secured floor to concrete, used L-brackets with aluminum braces for extra reinforcement to inside walls/floor/roof, silicone caulked every joint as i wanted to be sure it Didnt flood inside. The doors I a...

Hanging hooks??
Would RecommendWe bought his small shed so we could lock things up at our lake RV area. There are only 6 hanging brackets in the kit and we can't find anymore to purchase. Shed good.... accessories not so good.

Easy set-up, good fit and solid construction
Would RecommendOnce the location is prepared the rest is easy. I was able to take it from box to completion in only a couple of hours with everyday tools.

Doors Warped
Would RecommendThis is a second shed that we purchased and love it's size and everything and fits my need but the doors are wraped. I can probably take them off and lay them down on a level surface and put some weight on it in the hot summer sun and see what that will do.

Easy to build.
Would RecommendGreat for what it is. It's small and compact so it fits very well on my deck. It was super easy to put together. Like child's play. Don't buy this shed thinking you can over load it with shelves. It's plastic and very light duty. I use it to stor away my folding table and chairs.

quality product
Would RecommendQuality materials. Easy-to-follow instructions and an intuitive assembly process. Not overly rugged but should be sturdy enough and should keep the water out even in hard Florida thunderstorms. The most disappointing feature to me is the doors do not even open to 90 degrees and there is no way to keep them from slamming shut in the window.
