Ratings & Reviews for Rubbermaid 2.5-ft x 2-ft Multiple colors/finishes Gable Roof Plastic Resin Storage Shed

Good quality Product

Easy to assemble and very well constructed, as one would expect for a Rubbermaid product. It would be helpful if there was an option to buy shelves because the size of the cabinet would be ideal for storing more than just vertical tools. Or at least provide groves for one to insert there own wood shelves.

A quality product, for small storage, for the $.

I have owned two of these previously, and have now purchased a third. They are durable and relatively easy to assemble - IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. I use them for storing yard hand tools and chemicals. I have no gripe about the product, but cannot understand why Lowe's does not stock them in our local store, necessitating that I special order the item and wait several days to receive it. Other than that, I'm all smiles.

Warping

I have the 3.5 x 7' model. The doors have a slight warping, which does not allow for full door closure. (yes it is level and plumb) Consequently an air gap occurs and not only does weather intrudes but so do other small creatures. The doors need an upper and lower slide bar(same as French doors)

So far so good!

Doors fall off and shed literally falls apart

This shed seems like a great idea, relatively inexpensive for size, appealing color scheme... but don't buy this! Spend the extra couple hundred dollars and buy a "real" shed! We bought this for year toys... yes it is on a level surface #a concrete slab#. The shed doors fall off every single time I open the thing and in a gust of wind the roof panels fly off. After a wind storm #we are NOT in tornado alley# proceeding rain the shed literally separated and fell apart #so much for storage as I cha...

Disappointing

Medium-sized vertical shed: easy to assemble. Put it up in an enclosed area around our pool to store items in the summer and over the winter. Had a metal clip in the 'lockable' aperture to hold the doors closed. First time it rained, the wind came up (I just mean windy, not 'weather-alert' windy) the roof lifted up, the doors blew off, the handle on the door snapped off, and everything inside got soaked, including the pegboard I had anchored to one wall. To prevent this happening again, and not ...

Doors fall off and walls warp

I bought this shed 7 and a half months ago. The walls are warped and the doors have fallen off. The surface is slightly uneven. The instructions do say to build on an even surface but there is no warning of the drastic destruction of the shed if your surface is slightly uneven. There should be a warning as this is not common knowledge. I should have bought a better shed and will not be buying a Rubbermaid again.

Just what I wanted.

I was in need of a second, outdoor storage shed to use at my marina. I didn't find any sheds similar to this so I bought it, even though it was not on sale and seemed expensive. It turned out to be exactly like the one I had so I dissembled the old one and use the new one at my home and the old one at the marina for boat supplies. That worked well because I need the instruction sheet. I have found that in warm climates it is a good thing to put a piece of all thread clear through the shed (under...

Somewhat of a waste of money!

Easy to put together but is somewhat flimsy. I adhered to all recommendations and made sure that the ground was level but that doesn't help when its over 75 degrees because the doors will still get warped and just pop off when you open them. I wish I would have just spend a little more money and purchased a better quality shed.

Don't Waste Your Money

I purchased this shed in October of 2011. I made a wooden base that was solid and level. When I started using it regularly in the spring the right door seemed to not fit well. It continued to get worse until the right door and roof warped causing the door not to stay on when opened. The door now falls off every time you open it. I did not see any reviews for this that were negative before I bought it.

All my games

This shed is awesome. I put it in my back yard against the house to store all my outside games in. It was extremely easy to assemble and anchor to the house. I originally bought it just for putting my lawn games in but I found it had much more room than expected and I was able to put my lawn chairs and a few gardening tools in it also! The area I'm in has frequent violent wind storms with wind speeds in excess of 50 mph and the shed has held up perfectly where many of my neighbors sheds have bee...

Vertical 17 cubic feet of storage

Best buy I have made in years. I have moved 4 times in 5 years and I left all stored items in the shed for moving. The shed has held together through all moves! Great look for indoor storage in a basement or garage or outdoors. Holds up in all kinds of weather! Typical Rubbermaid! Great!

Rubbermaid 3749 Vertical Storage Shed, 17-cubic ft

Cheap cast plastic and NO SHELVES, no template and as of yet no where to buy shelves! Makes it usless for anything but rakes and shovels or one small area on the floor of shed.

Doors have warped in less than one year

Hi - this is a decent product by my problem is that the injection molding on the doors that allows the door to swing open and closed have warn down or were defective to begin with. As such the door slips out of its slot easily and just falls off. If the right door is open and a breeze comes through it blows the door right off. The product is good but assembly was a bit tricky - not sure how the door issue came about but it's very annoying. I'm trying to order just a replacement door for the shed...

No shelves

Really, no shelves!!!! I haven't made the call to order shelves (you can't get then in the store); but I bet they end up costing more than the dang closet!

Vertical Storage Shed 3749

I've had this little shed and two other ones for about 10 years now with no problems till now we just love it for storing are pool umbrellas and other stuff. The lock hasp broke and I called Rubbermaid and they sent me another one as a courtesy. Thanks Rubbermaid for top of the line products and customer service

Very Handy for brooms and maps ...

Kept their promise on the delivery and well very professional.

Vertical Shed

Altho I like the shed and it is a good size, I think at least one shelf should be included, or the print on the label should be big enough to see readily. You would think that since the overall reviews of this product all almost all about the shelf issue, Rubbermaid ought to listen to it's customers and include one shelf!!!

Weatherproof claims are inaccurate

No latch on door prevents door from staying closed properly. Flimsy construction with see-thru cracks allows rain/wind penetration.
