Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would RecommendTight, secure storage. The Apartment Complex I live in has storage unots adjacent to patios containing our utilities (gas furnace, water heater,and breaker panel. However, (Willow Ridge Apartments, Hershey PA. A HDC Mid-Atlantic Property) they require NOTHING to be stored in there. I kept a couple of rakes, shovels, snow shovels ( we have to shovel snow to clear a space to park our cars) in there! Yeah, some people stored more than necessary in there, but go after THOSE people.

Looks good but....
Would Not RecommendRubbermaid makes lots of great products this is NOT one of them. Believe all the reviews about warped doors! I put mine in sun with heavy weights on cement to flatten enough to stay closed. To add injury to insult burglars used my shed roof as an escape route and caved in roof. Replacement parts cost close to the cost of the shed. Shed is now worthless water collector, contents ruined.

don't buy this shed if you want to do shelves
Would Not RecommendI wish I had read all the reviews FIRST! I had totally planned to add shelves, because in the description it said you could! AFTER I installed it, I noticed there were no notches in the walls, to rest shelves on, as in ALL MY PREVIOUS RUBBERMAID STORAGE SHEDS. Why, why why?!! I will now have to build some kind of free-standing shelving system inside my storage shed. What a joke. I know there are brackets but will probably take me several hours to figure out how to use them.

Best little shed ever.
Would RecommendI bought this over 14 years ago and I still have it. It is easy to assemble and yes, I did use a rubber mallet. Thanks to a well meaning ex, he broke the molded peg on the door that hold the door in place. However, I can't part with it. I've been searching for the right side door (79K) and I won't give up until I find it! Making the shelves is easy, so don't let that deter you and because it is waterproof, you will only have to make them once! I've moved this shed to 4 places and have alwa...

Shipped with no hardware, really?
Would Not RecommendI purchased this shed a month ago and temporarily put it up with a few screws that I purchased to hold this thing in place. If I knew it was so poorly designed, I would have never purchased it. The shipping box was damaged and the floor and walls were warped in addition to the lack of hardware. What a shame....

Great for the price
Would RecommendI bought this to store long handled garden tools (shoves, rakes, etc). I couldn't find anything better for the price. Assembly takes less then 5 minutes and requires no tools (it says a rubber mallet but a few slaps and kicks does it). It is exactly as described and pictured, no idea what the bad reviews are about.

Terrible Design, nice loo,

Needs Shelving
Would Not RecommendThis unit needs shelves to make it useful. It was disappointing after assembly to realize there wasn't shelves and they do not make shelves.

Shelf Anchors
Would Not RecommendI bought this not long ago and after assembly I realized I really needed the shelves. I went and purchased the Rubbermaid brand track shelving, ready to knock this little project out. THE BRACKETS DON'T WORK. The track is too thick to run the given screw through it and slide the bracket down into the designated slow. VERY FRUSTRATING. So now I've wasted my time and money, on a project that should have taken me less than 5 minutes.

Nice shed at a good price . Nice Quality
Would RecommendI bought the shed a few Weeks ago . My husband and I put it together in an afternoon. Attaching the roof to the rear wall is tricky. We were trying to put it up against a fence and we had to disconnect the shed from the base to be able to move It away from the fence and get the roof secured to the back wall

Not much actual storage.
Would Not RecommendAs a 60 year old lady, I loaded this into the back of my Jeep, unloaded it at my barn, and built it myself. Would have been easier with 2 people, but I did it on my own and it is solid, a little bit of a learning curve, did some parts twice to get alignment right. Main problem is shelving. There are no instructions, cutting dimensions, template, anything to help figure out how to make them. And despite the shed being 2 ft deep, the niche for the shelves restricts their depth to maybe 10"! Of cou...

seriously disappointed
Would Not RecommendI purchased this shed a couple of years ago and even purchased the shelves. It’s not worth the money. The doors don’t close properly and leave a gap where the hinges are. I have to open the door and run because the wasps fly right into the gap left by the door hinges. I’ve tried everything to get the doors to close without leaving a gap. If I’m forced to throw it out, I won’t be purchasing another one from Rubbermaid that’s for sure.

dont buy
Would Not Recommendi purchased 2 of these and both leak when it rains. the overhang on the roof is very little and the water rolls off the roof down the front and inside the doors. The doors also are not tight fitting. everything inside the sheds gets wet and because of our heat in florida all my brand new pool stuff is getting moldy.

No accessories
Would Not RecommendBought this shed and thought we could buy the shelves. Just like the others, no such luck. Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing. Losing a lot of the space trying to build support for shelves. So disappointed. Thought that with the name Rubbermaid, it would have been better.

Not Very Happy
Would Not RecommendWe bought this shed to use to store items that we use outside. It said it came with adapters to hang shelves, so we assumed we could get shelves for it. Should have checked further first because now that we have the shed up, we can't find the shelving brackets or the shelving we need. Rubbermaid accessories page doesn't show any and the store clerks say they have nothing. Now we are looking at having to build something freestanding to fit in there. Maybe we should have gone with a Suncast.
