Customer Reviews for Rubbermaid Big Maximum Junior, 3 ft. 5 in. x 7 ft. W x 8 ft. D Plastic Storage Shed, 147 sq. ft.

this shed is better than I expected, it fits all my stuff that I wanted to.out inside plus still has room for more, for the price you can't beat it.

Excellant purchase from the time ordered to delivery to my Front door !

Easy to assemble and just enough space for what I needed it for

The only down fall on this product is that it is advertised with pictures of tools that you can hang on the walls but you need the wall hangers in order to attach the peg boards. However it only comes with (4) wall hangers I just wish they would let you know up front what is needed to accomplish this task, because now I need more wall hangers in order to hang the kit that I also bought with this shed.

It all started with a good foundation, very easy to read instructions. Did it myself one man operation. I was able to put all my outdoor tools in it so that I could clear my garage. Now I have the garage I always wanted. This shed was recommended by my son-in-law. He has one as well. Great price as well! Thank You

Overall good but 3 stars beacuse standard Rubbermaid accessories do not work with this shed. You will get 4 hooks with the shed with the lip as on attached pictures, but accessories sold at Home Depot have no lip on the hoog and it will not work. Not sure where to buy more, Internet search did not produce any results. I sent email to Rubbermaid, we see how it comes. Attaching the picture of the anchor you will need to work with this shed.

Very easy to assmble,and durable little damaje and the foor base but nothing mayor

One of the walls didn't align with the roof properly. I ended up with a wall with a 1 inch gap on each side that runs down from the roof for about 6 inches. Wall anchors are great except the shed only comes with 4. I had to call up RubberMaid to get more - they charged $5 for a pack of 4 incl. shipping.

Easy to put together, seems durable. Being used as chemical storage building at a wastewater treatment plant

Good shed, good price. Would definitely recommend it.

The shed went up quite easily. It's important that the shed be positioned on an absolute level or the doors will not open and close properly. Once on an absolute level the shed works really well and is a nice looking shed. It is really roomy inside and more spacious than I thought it would be. I am happy with this purchase.

Happy with purchase and with 2 people easily assembled in just over an hour . Like the high ceiling and able to put cross member up top to store more stuff . Would recommend to purchase.

I was shopping for a decent size, affordable shed and I am a fan of Rubbermaid products. I have a smaller shed that I use for garbage cans that I just replaced with the same exact Rubbermaid shed. That's why i was so disappointed in this shed. I put it together with the help of my 22 yr old son - definitely suggest two people put this together. Mainly because the wall doesn't connect into the floor and 'snap' into place like the directions say. The tabs fit in some spots and just rest in others, so I needed him to hold the walls up while I put the other walls together so it stayed upright. The directions were fine for the early assembly but by the end, it was up to me to figure out what the illustrated picture was supposed be showing. Once completed, we moved the shed onto the stone surface i made for it and you couldn't stand in the corners because even though there are small screws into the base, they don't hold and you end up having a gap on at the corners. I had to rehab that area of the floor to build it up more and it was 'fine'. The biggest problem I had - the door doesn't close together. Not even close. My backyard is secured but i worry about critters or wind swept rain/snow getting in there. Overall - it will do. But i couldn't recommend this product.

Perfect size for the items I wanted to store. The pieces were nicely labeled which helped to assemble it.

I purchased mine for $499 from Home Depot in Salinas. It went together in about 90 minutes with help from my girlfriend. Some parts fit OK...some don't align too well like the roof. It's underneath a carport so I'm not too concerned about it being water tight. My complaint and it's a big one....none of the accessories Rubbermaid sells will fit it or work inside. The hooks, brackets, tool holders, etc., will not fit or work. It's a complete joke. I bought to big hooks made by Rubbermaid at $10.97 each and had to take them back. The slots inside the Big Max Junior don't fit any Rubbermaid accessories. It's really stupid.

Great shed for the price. The only complaint I have is, the dowels on the bottom of the doors are way too short, so its easy for the doors to be removed, or lifted out. So the shed is not really secure, even when locked. Other than that, its great.

Was very easy to install did the whole job by myself.

Had this about a month now. It does what its supposed to do, but with a couple major issues. 1) The colors shown on the site are not accurate. They're listed as "beige/ivory", and the photos all look like a beige/sand color. In reality, the color of the shed is light gray. In fact an unfinished/raw plastic looking gray in some areas (swirly). I bought the shed thinking it would reasonably match my house exterior. It doesn't even come close. 2) The doors are very hard to open and close due to a catch at the top that is far too aggressive. They also bow in or out significantly depending on the weather. I can still recommend it overall as long as you know ahead of time that the color is GRAY, and the doors are flimsy and hard to open/close. Assembly was pretty simple, but definitely takes 2 people and 2 TALL stepstools or ladders to stand on when doing the roof. It seems pretty solid so far.

Very nice easy to assemble excellente product.

The tough part was putting the roof on - rest was medium effort. Needed a little hammering here and there to make sure everything fit. Does take a reasonable level of handiness. one of the main components is the metal rim on top -its supposed to have a couple of drilled holes to tie it to the mantle. The piece we had was missing these drilled holes. Luckily I had a drill bit which could make holes in the right places. If not, I'd have had to call Rubbermaid (and they are only available M-F office hours EST)!

Just like any shed, "A" must fit with "B", etc. But the directions were not accurate and we had to do a little backtracking. It's definitely takes two people and not all pieces "snap" together as described. Once it's together it's pretty nice and better than metal as it won't rust. Just not easy to put together!

The unit that we received had the punch holes already removed to attach the walls to the base and one of the holes was partially collapsed. I realized while putting this together that attempting to put the shed back in the box and return it would be incredibly difficult so I forced it to work

Overall, the product was what we wanted. No leaks or any issues after setup. It was more difficult to put together than expected. It didn't click together as easily as the instructions claimed. We had to enlist help from my brother-in-law, who experience putting these together.. He thought the quality was better on the one he bought a few years ago.

It is a storage shed, so I expect it to be roomy and store things. It does just that. The assembly is relatively easy. However, the roof assembly really does need two people as stated in the instructions. The quality seems good and durable, but I only have it for two months. It is water tight, as we had a storm and everything inside was dry.

Easy to assemble even for a girl, except for the roof. Delivered on a pallet by freight company, so not dented or anything. Snaps together without screws. I made a level pad out of stepping stones to put it on.

First I should admit, I like the Rubbermaid brand a lot. They make high quality and easy to build products. Our installation site isn't level so we built a foundation out of 4x4 PT timbers and laid a piece of 4x8' plywood on top of the timbers. Leveling the 4x4's and cutting the plywood to fit the base of the shed was probably the most time consuming part of the project. At that point, the shed walls, doors and roof snapped or slid together. The whole construction process took maybe two hours total. In short, the shed works great for storing a lawn mower and a variety of lawn tools like rakes, chainsaws and the like. Recommend tackling this project with another person ... it's more fun and some of the steps are easier with another person.

easy to assemble...good directions..surprisingly all parts were in box

It was hard to find something this size, as I needed to cover well, pump, and water softener/filtration system, but this fits perfectly and the taller height inside allows salt to be easily added. My contractor installed a wood base platform to anchor it and took out most of the flooring that was part of the unit. Looks great. Time will tell how well it holds up.

We saved some money by having the shed delivered to Home Depot rather than paying to have it shipped to our home. But it was worth it, even though we had to rent a Home Depot truck (and borrow a friend) to get it from Home Depot to our house. We unpacked it in the front yard, carried the parts to the back and built it on 16-in paver stones. Two relatively small people (one male, one female) built this shed. It took us about an hour, once the paver stones were laid and leveled. Following the directions was simple and we didn't need any more tools than what was listed except for the fact that we needed two ladders (technically a ladder and a step stool). The hardest part was the roof (of course) but we pulled it off. I was especially impressed with the roof. I've had experience with other "plastic sheds" and the roof is usually where the whole thing would, literally, fall apart. We'll see how it holds up this coming winter but I don't expect any problems. The one negative thing I can say about the shed is that the front doors do not close perfectly. I wasn't particularly surprised, as this is often the case with these types of sheds. Either we didn't create a perfectly flat surface to built it on OR there's some warping in the plastic.... Whatever the reason, the doors do not close perfectly and this caused us some grief at first. But after some finessing, we got them to close "well enough." Overall, this is a solid shed and we're happy with the purchase. I would certainly recommend it to others.

Was very happy when this shed went on sale - so we could buy multiples. We'd done our homework, and this shed is solid. Compare it's wall panels' composition/construction with any other - this is a quality Rubbermaid product. On the first attempt the easy-to-follow instructions enabled an assembly time that bested the recommended allotment - and then all others went together in less than 30 minutes each. Invest materials, time, and effort in a solid foundation site. THE most valuable tool - the rubber mallet - for THE most difficult part - the roof ~ applying one, powerful, precisely-placed (look at the instruction pictures!) *whack* will indeed engage the joint. Hammering away like some sort of 'Whack A Mole' participant won't help. Take time to locate the points of contact (4/panel) and the roof completion will be easy-peasy.
