HOMSPARK Storage Shed Weather Resistance, Multi-Purpose Outdoor Storage Cabinet for Backyards and Patios, Vertical Storage Shed for Lawnmower, Patio Accessories (White 1, Tall - 53 cu.ft)

I am a 70 year old grammy and was a bit hesitant to purchase this item since a lot of reviews stated that it takes two persons to assemble. I had no problems assembling it by myself. I spent more time studying the instructions than actual assembling. Took approximately 4 hours, but I was also watching TV at the time I was doing it. I was not disappointed in the time I spent on assembly, but that being said, there are two things that would have made the job easier and quicker. First of all, it would have been helpful to me if the instructions would have clearly stated whether the top and bottom panels are interchangeable or if they are not. Therefore I very carefully studied all the pictures as well as all the panels. Don't know if I just got lucky, but everything went together perfectly the first time. But as I said, would have been nice if directions included this info. The second thing: Had the screwdriver been magnetized, I would have spent a lot less time looking for dropped screws. The cabinet looks really nice, but for the price I had expected it to be more solid construction. The panels are somewhat thin and flimsy, but once put together it doesn't wobble like I thought it might. I just wish the panels were all a bit heavier/thicker. So, as to waterproof and sturdiness, I will have to update in a year or so. I have it on my back porch which has a roof, so it won't be getting rained on. As for sturdiness, I have 9 grandkids, 5 of them boys who are pretty rough and tumble. I will be storing a lot of their toys in the cabinet, so we'll see how it holds up.

This was the perfect solution for our needs. It was easy to build and doesn’t take up too much space. It did take 2 people to build (one to hold things in place and the other to screw things in). A power drill helped make the process go faster! The instructions were very clear and the pieces were solid quality. If you’re decent at putting things together it will take about an hour to 90 min.

My wife and I put this together in less than two hours. The directions aren't as clear as they could be but the parts are labeled and if you go carefully you can assemble it. Note that if you have large hands there are areas where you will have difficulty. The shed is relatively solid (the rear walls are are only areas where there is some flex) and it looks to be weatherproof. It hasn't rained yet, so that's conjecture on my part. NOTE: the three boxes come at different times. We got one fairly quickly after ordering it, the second came a few days later, and then the third showed up two days after that. All FedEx.

The building itself is pretty much what I expected. It's a lightweight storage building that is going to be used for my gardening supplies. I have it sitting on a raised platform with a strap across the top and anchored to the ground on each side. This will hold the building in place during strong winds. The building itself would easily blow over. The instructions are pictures only so if you don't read picture instructions well pass this storage building up. As mentioned in prior reviews, the tops and bottom sections are numbered the same, however if you do not pay attention to the small nipple on the bottom of the side panels you may put them together and find they don't fit. Each section of the side panels have the same parts number. I can't recommend the building because the instructions are so bad. Edit*** The company did reach out to me and refunded a portion of the purchase price. They also stated that they would look at updating the instructions. For customer service and support I will give them an plus one star and hope they follow through on updating the instructions.

Living in a small house I needed a place to store carpentry and power tools. At approximately 2’Dx4’Wx6.5’H this cabinet fit the space allotted. After looking at steel cabinets I settled on this one. Reasons: won’t rust in the NW rain, cost less than half as much as it’s steel counterpart. Took me about 4-5 hours to put the cabinet together. Instructions were kinda’ ambiguous. Had to take the back apart and redo it. After that I looked closer at the parts. As mentioned by other reviewers, would have gone faster with another set of hands on occasion. No parts were missing. Actually came with a bag marked “spare parts.” Didn’t need any, but a good idea by the manufacturer. Note: You need to supply the plywood for the shelves. Note: The hardware for the padlock is laughable. Any 5 year old could pull on the doors and pop it right open. Finished product looks OK, not great. It’s kinda’ flimsy but serviceable. Plywood shelves help stiffen it up. Would not want to have to open cabinet often. It will work fine for my tools because I don’t use them all the time. If had to open it a couple of times a week I would not like it very much. My title pretty well says it all. If the thing falls apart in the next year, I’ll update this review. Time will tell...

Very pleased with the results and set up. First, a box was lost in shipping and the company immediately rushed a replacement out - I was impressed. I assembled it together in a little over 2 hours by myself but I can see a second person being helpful. Make sure to notice and distinguish which pieces are upper and lower right away - I lost 20 minutes correcting my mistake overlooking this. I'm using the shed to vertically store an adult bike and it is the perfect size - just enough room for bike and accessories without taking up much of my outdoor space. And it looks much nicer in general than I thought it would - it only looks plastic-y up close.

Once I got all the parts out and stood up the base it was pretty intuitive to set up. Make sure all the pieces snap or lie together and you will save yourself some heartburn. Once it was done and I got the shelves in place it was just what we wanted. It is sturdy, and capacious. Great purchase at a fair price.
