This was designed very poorly, and the manufacturers don't even give you the proper tools you need to put this thing together. The window pains don't even have numbers on them. Part 8414 was also missing from the kit, even though i don't think you need it.

The instructions have design flaws and so you need to be saavy about reading and building the greenhouse. Once up, have received lots of compliments how great it looks.

I love, love the greenhouse! The directions could have been more clear. We made some mistakes and how to take things apart but in the end we got it done. It was worth the trouble though! We attached it to a foundation and I bought an anchor kit too to make sure it doesn't blow away. So far so good!

Blew away they first night right of the anchors. Got completely destroyed and was unsalvageable. A complete waste of time and money. Do not recommend at all.

Great product. The wider size, double doors, and roof profile are all nice upgrades over other kits. Took a full day to assemble. Instructions are missing a few pictures to help you understand what it should look like when you complete the step, so pay attention to the details.

I've put a number of greenhouse kits together. This is by far the easiest and best quality one. The key for all kits like this is a level and square base. This is worth the money.

    This review is not for the product. The greenhouse arrived quickly but.... The end of the package was riped open and smashed. It looks like nothing was hurt or missing but I won't know until I'm able to assemble it in the spring.

    We tried to put this together last week. The manufacturing is off on the siding and does not fit in the slats. We can not put it together after hours and hours of trying to trouble shoot. Regret the purchase.

      Directions were not specific enough for most steps. It took longer than expected to build. It is very nice when finished.

      As many others have stated over and over, the direction are not as clear as they could be. Better directions would truly help the purchasers. Also, the windows do not fit as well as they should, my old 6' X 8' had a window that fit much better.

      So far I have to recommend this product. It took me 2 days to put together by myself, would have been much shorter if I had some help. Also, the instructions have no words, just pictures. And, sometimes the pictures are not very clear. But, I figured it all out and the house is now standing. It is truly amazing how hot it gets inside. I ran electricity to it for those few really cold nights we have here in north Texas, but I'm thinking I won't be using it much. Anyway, the building seems very strong and water tight. I expect it will do well protecting my wife's plants in the winter. And, for the price I don't think it can be beat. We'll see how it holds up over time.

      Terrible installation manual and missing parts
      The assembly of this greenhouse kit is EXTREMELY difficult, the various parts do not fit together easily (especially the curved end panels), there were many screws missing (not easily found commercially) and one of the panels had the "outside" sticker placed on BOTH sides. Often bolts that will be needed later in assembly must be be put it place well before they will be used and the installation manual often doesn't warn you of this requirement. I've assembled other greenhouse kits and this one is a by far the worst. I would never recommend that anyone purchase this model. The curved end panels are a major problem. The diagramed installation manual leaves a lot to be desired.

        It would have been nice to know that it isn't really 20 ft long when you add the extensions, the greenhouse was about 3 inches short.This caused me to modify my foundation. Not fun.

        The only problem is the instructions. The pictures don't show many things so plan on undoing what you've done several times before you're done. The greenhouse is wonderful once it's up. Be patient is the key.

        Excellent and beautiful except manual had no words just pictures so we had to redo and figure out a lot. Couldn’t do it without an experienced builder. A few missing pieces Hardware but overall good.

        Much better quality than I had expected, assembly using hieroglyphs is challenging at first but once you figure out how to read them it's not a problem.

        Product OK but assembly directions suck
        Assembled greenhouse is very good but "Overall Rating" loses one star each for poor assembly instructions and nonexistent customer service. I have been waiting three weeks for a return phone call to resolve a couple issues. Three man-days needed to fully assemble. Recommended with a warning that assembly instructions are poor.
