It was difficult to assemble. I didn't realize the panels are not panels at all but sheets. I did not think this would survive a strong wind or hail. It survived both just fine. I am impressed, shocked and amazed!
Package came well protected and quickly. If you take your time and follow the instructions it's pretty easy to put together. Managed to do it on my own in about 4.5 hours. We've had rain and snow recently and it's held up well with no leaking. Good buy for the price.
Value exceeds price, customer service is EXCELLENT

Packaging (B+): Came in 2 boxes; one for the frame, one for the plastic panes. Zero damage to the panes (great packing). Assembly (B-not easy, not hard): I was able to assemble this 99% by myself over several hours, although the estimate in the manual contemplates 2-3 people. I had to puzzle out some of the instructions, but overall they were pretty good. Quality (A+ for value): Machining was excellent. Frame is sturdy. I want to say upfront that for the price this is a tremendous value. Incidentally, because it is so light, I am going to anchor it to a 24" steel spike driven into the ground at each corner, just to be safe. The spikes are available from a big box home center in the concrete rebar section and only cost around $10 for 4. Customer service (A+++): A small bag of 6 screws was missing from my unit. I contacted customer service and they responded promptly. Then, they went above and beyond the call of duty to resolve the problem.
I bought this about a month ago after researching greenhouses for several weeks. I liked this one because of the price and reviews. I LOVE it. It looks great and the quality is better than I expected. It was also much easier to assemble than I expected after reading instructions. It's not as hard as folks make it sound. At first I was unimpressed with the polycarbonate "glass" panels (they look like etched glass, but feel like bubble wrap material), but now after its been out through good and bad weather, it held up very nicely.
Assembly was tedious and the instructions were minimal. They consisted of diagrams without any explanatory text. Reviews and u-tube videos that suggest a 6-hour assembly time are laughable. 18 hours would be a better guess. The tools supplied are an open end 10mm wrench and a Phillips head screwdriver. Both cheap and ineffective. Assembly requires use of dozens of small nuts and bolts. You will drop them frequently. Don't waste time doing more than snugging them up during assembly. You will be loosening and adjusting them frequently as you proceed with assembly. In many places there's not enough room to get more than a quarter turn at a time on a nut or bolt.Instructions don't address considerations for anchoring to the ground (I chose to attach to a 4ᄀᄆx 6ᄀᄆ frame) or ventilation. The latter is a consideration for both temperature and humidity control.The end result looks good, seems sturdy. Jury is still out on where or not it will keep inside temperatures warm enough for North Texas winter nights.
I definitely recommend this product. It's not for people who have never put a kit together. There's alot of parts all pictures no written instructions. Lucky I live with an engineer, this is a 5 hour project for 2 people, one skilled and the other not so skilled.
