HOMSPARK 26 cu.ft Horizontal Storage Shed(Cream White)

I've purchased literally HUNDREDS of products from Amazon over the years, but this is the FIRST time I've ever written a review. I have to say that this is a really nice shed -- sturdy, attractive and very well designed. Most important to me, it was extremely easy to assemble. I'm not the handiest guy in the world, but the parts were very well labeled and the assembly instructions were very straightforward. I really was pleasantly surprised! It took me and one other person about an hour (maybe even less) to assemble the shed, and it was almost fun to do! I'm not kidding. I'm extremely pleased with the way it turned out. I'd recommend this shed to anyone. My only minor suggestion is that the assembly instructions need to be a bit clearer at the very end (the final assembly step). When installing the support bar that keeps the lid propped open, you need to rotate the wider end of the bar so it will fit into the groove in the right wall. That wasn't made clear in the instructions. Aside from that minor issue, I have nothing but great things to say about this shed!

Easy to build and stable. Having the front open is great for storage totes

Seems sturdy enough without shelves, but even more so with them. Easy to assemble - they give you all the tools. The instructions say that the top might warp in high heat, so I put some shade fabric on the top. Seems like a good shed but I've only had it for a short time. Glad I bought it. Regarding the shelves: unless you are putting large items in it, or plan on stacking things, shelves are a must. Shelves turn a large space into efficient storage space. I had some spare wood so the total cost (brackets/screws) cost less than $10. The shelf you can purchase seems extremely expensive for what it is. For example, why would you want a 12" deep shelf when the shelf supports span the full depth of the unit? FYI - I didn't see the instructions in the last step for putting in the support rod for the top. I put the rod in the slot first (turning it sideways so it would fit in the channel) the screwed it in the top with the included screws.

Have the tall one and the medium one for lake side storage. Tall one is great as it holds the rolled up Lillypad and fishing poles. Medium one looks good next to it and holds all the breeo fire pit accessories perfectly. Heavy and sturdy enough to survive Florida hurricanes and microbursts. Keeps the water an sand out as long as its level.

It’s definitely easier to assemble with another person. I did it myself and parts of it were difficult due to just needing another hand. The pics made it pretty easy. However, at times, it would have helped with indicators if a joint(not sure what it’s really called) indicated which direction it should be facing. It’s a bit wobbly on uneven pavement (slight slope for drainage purposes), so the doors don’t line up smoothly. I hour some wood underneath it to balance as much as possible. So take that into consideration. All in all, good value for outdoor storage that’s looks neat. Works as expected.

This is my third plastic "shed" type of backyard storage, and I'm impressed with the features and stability of this one. For the price, it's a great deal - just have to put it together correctly - don't expect it to function well if care isn't taken to carefully align the pieces. That's pretty standard for all plastic sheds though. If not, pieces won't line up, stability will be lost, and critters will get in. It does require a bit of manipulation and although I put it together very successfully solo, having another person to push back against my pushing, to get pieces to lock into place, would have been helpful (I used solid objects placed between the shed walls and an adjacent wall to create that force when it was needed). One thing the instructions don't make clear, and I did this, but I saw in another comment that it was an issue... was that when installing the support bar that keeps the lid propped open, one must rotate the nubby end of the bar to fit it into the provided groove in the right wall. If you attach the bar to the lid first, before attaching the lid to the back wall, then just rotate the entire lid in the air to fit the bar into the groove, and then rotate the lid back to position to attach the lid to the back wall. Done correctly, the lid is very stable and the support function works perfectly. Also love the flat roof that can double as food service area, yet also has drainage channels. Really glad I picked this shed. :)

It's very rare that I have left a negative comment about a product since usually I ignore the subtle differences and make all possible attempts to work with the product. But this set is a very bad one and defective - specially considering the $300+ price. I am fairly good in assembling stuff but the screws for the right panel won't fit with the back panel. Thinking i did something wrong, I rolled back the changes and retraced the steps per manual and the screws won't fit. Then I tried to fit one screw to the panel and it is clear the screws are much wider than the panel holes. They will never fit!!!! I called my friend who is very skilled and executed large scale home remodeling projects, and he confirmed my suspicion that the product is a poor quality defective one. I am asking for a refund from the seller. The seller has already intimated that if they do not receive the item in "proper" condition then they will deduct from my refund. I am going to pack them as best as I can and send to the seller. Will keep you posted about how the refund process works out. My humble opinion is to stay away from this product and look for a better quality product to get peace of mind!!

The top lid cover hinges broke after a couple of years of use outside. The rest of it has held together very well. Good water resistance.
