Panels are hard to slip in roof area of unit, they seem to blow out in high wind on one side. If you get a lot of wet heavy snow just watch out it pushes roof panels in. I had to support the center part of panels to help with this issue. Wish they could send me 3 new roof panels since they got wrecked during this winter ad early spring. I only had unit a year.Though for growing plants when panels stay in the greenhouse with heat grows plants great all winter and early spring, then it gets too hot to grow anything. I think the panels need more roof and side support and some good glue. For the price it does what it needs to do, but I thought it came with stainless steel nuts and bolts so they looked like it, but, they are now rusting inside. So the only thing that can rust is base and screws. Aluminum will not rust.
Sturdy design and if you can follow simple instructions it's not hard to put together. Temp control is somewhat difficult but a cover helps along with a fan. I did slight modifications and attached it to a wood floor. I am also adding a 1 nozzle mister for really hot days.1 critique is that I wish you could buy separate vents to add, so there is more than 1.
It's very time consuming to assemble. The instructions are not the best. It could be constructed of more heavy duty material. It's kinda flimsy. I like how it looks but it's kinda cheap. Took me 7-8 hours to build with help. It should work for a couple years I don't see it lasting longer than 3-4 years. It is however working for what I need it. It still gets too hot with the vent and door open I wish there was a way to install a fan... or another vent...
We all love them and recommend them to anyone who wants to ...

This is my third greenhouse. I have purchased one for myself and one for my son and daughter. We all love them and recommend them to anyone who wants to get a jump on spring gardening. Living in Montana, our springs are cold and danger of frost is not past until well after Memorial day.
My husband builds and remodels homes for a living and it still took the two of us 5+ hours to put this greenhouse together. It comes in hundreds of pieces and is extremely fragile. The instruction manual has NO words, just pictures (and not very good ones at that).
We are worried it may fall apart with the first summer storm that hits the Midwest. Though, until then it’s a cute little place to begin our spring seedlings. If you are looking for a heavy duty greenhouse, this is NOT it. But if you’re ok with gambling several hundred dollars on a greenhouse that may or may not fall apart in a strong storm, then it’s a good fit.
We knew we were opting for the “cheap†greenhouse when we ordered this, so we really weren’t too surprised at the quality (you get what you pay for, right?). Our plan is to hope this one lasts a while, but if it doesn’t we’ll be building a real one out of wood and plexiglass. So it’s fine for now.
We were definitely not prepared for the complexity of building it, though. I would not recommend this to someone who has trouble putting IKEA furniture together, as this is truly way more difficult. Also, do NOT put it up on a windy day.
Very competitively priced greenhouse from a good seller.

Easily assembled greenhouse - if you are patient and try to understand and follow the pictured instructions one page at the time. Having built Lego and followed their instructions helps greatly. Everything fits perfectly well. Polycarbonate is on the thin side but with some silicone to hold everything in place it should last. Our other similar greenhouse has been up for the past eight years and is still in perfect condition - even after several strong gale force winds !!!!
Our lovely green house. It with held the strong winds we had recently. I would recommend siliconing round all the windows to help secure them in place. Has a tendency to fall out
