What Customers Are Saying

Customers are sharply divided on this shed. Many praise its durability over years of use, straightforward assembly completed in under an hour, and solid weather resistance for storing garden tools and yard equipment. However, nearly as many report severe door problems—warping, bowing, misalignment, and frequent detachment—that compromise security and weather protection. The most common complaint is the complete absence of shelves, leaving customers frustrated that the product feels incomplete and requires costly DIY solutions. Despite strong durability claims from long-term owners, door defects and missing storage organization significantly undermine satisfaction for many buyers.

Good Shed, 3 years old

Would Recommend

It is good shed. I bought it in May 2013. Use it for gardening and Grilling tools mostly. Very handy and has served me well. I need to add additional shelves BUT I CANNOT FIND THE BRACKETS (5H88) TO MOUNT THE HARDWARE FOR THE SHELVES. I need six (6) to add shelves Does anyone have any suggestions???

Great Yard Tool Storage

Would Recommend

Wow. All the complaints about NO shelves. It's in the description so you get what you paid for. Measured the inside, 28½", went down to my local big box hardware store, picked up 1 piece of 1x10x72", had them cut two pieces to length, notched the back corners and voila, 2 shelves. Had this unit, outside in the SoCal sun for 2 or more years with no issues. Couldn't be happier.

Could not live without them!!!

Would Recommend

I have 8 of the larger vertical shed (sadly, discontinued) and 2 of this size. Four of the larger ones are 14 years old and the rest are about 10 years old. They all have wooden shelves that I cut myself from 1x12 cheap lumber. They have been a lifesaver for all my gardening stuff, tools, and arts and crafts stuff. Frankly, I love them. Any garden center will cut shelves for you, or any lumber yard, for a small cutting fee. I love them... really love them. Putting them together is a two-p...

really not happy with the product

Would Not Recommend

all the panels we're a little out of shape.. the main problem was the doors and the poor hinge set up. they [Rubbermaid] needs to come up with some sort of repair kit or modification for this design. I know that they want everything very level, buts that's not always the case at times...they need to say something on the carton about this so other choices can be made..

My fault, I didn't read the description well enough. But REALLY?? No SHELVES? No option to buy them? No PDF template on how to make them, even? This is pathetic.

Disappointed

Would Recommend

After assembling the shed all seemed fine. The doors did not catch my eye as being defective. Then the wind blew it off the deck, about 4 feet from its original location. It fell door side down and I was able to flip it over and remove the contents. After righting it I noticed that the doors are warped. It came with 4 clips that are used for shelves. I purchased two Rubbermaid hangers as recommended, 4 brackets, and 2 wooden shelves. I need 4 additional hooks so I can add two more hangers to sup...

No shelves?! Really?!

Would Not Recommend

Bought this for my garage. Looking foward to putting it together and organizing in my free time. Open the box and start assembling... soon notice there are walls, doors, roof and floor, but no shelves. I live in Los Angeles, and don't just happen to have a table saw and some spare lumber sitting around. What a disappointment. This shed is great if you plan on using it as a coffin.

Great shed but not when it came to the left door!

Would Not Recommend

The upper hole for the door pin had another pin manufactured inside the hole that prohibited the pin on the door top from entering. I went to the store and looked at a shed that was set up.and found no obstruction so I proceeded to cut and drill out what should not have been their. Now the door works. I was not a happy buyer!!

Would Recommend

Nice looking shed that will work well for my application. I needed a shed that was 2.5' or less in depth and this one fit the bill. Would be nice if the interior width was 48" so a standard shelf would fit. Have not yet experienced warping with the doors as mentioned in other reviews (and hope I don't)! The wall anchors are a nice feature but it took me 3 trips to the store to get the right shelf bracket. How about referencing the part number in the directions? With a couple of modifications I w...

USELESS WITHOUT SHELVING

Would Not Recommend

Purchased for the sole intent of storing items on the shelving it shows on the outside of the box. Get it delivered and no shelving , you have to make them yourself. So now I have of storage unit with 75% of the area not being used.

Crazy that you can't get shelves anywhere!!!!

Would Not Recommend

Being non-handy and making the stupid assumption that shelves would be available for purchase, we purchased this unit for a lost and found for our school. Without shelves, it is entirely non-functional. If we wanted everything in a pile at the bottom, we would have purchased a horizontal unit. For our use, it's horrible.

Just what I was looking for.

Would Recommend

Ordering on line was easy. The store called me when it came in. Helped me load it into my car. Only tool I needed to assemble was a rubber mallet. Really didn't need that. Only complaint, assemble it close to where you want to put it. Came apart several times trying to maneuver it into the corner of my yard I wanted it in. So far, so good.

warped doors!!!

Would Not Recommend

We bought this storage shed a couple weeks ago and finally got around to put it together. Very easy assembly, we were very happy with the shed until I noticed the doors were warped in the middle of both doors there's no support. We paid a lot of $ for this storage shed to come to find out that mine is not the only one with this problem. Wish I would of read the reviews I would of never bought it.
