Pros:"Size Aesthetics" Cons:"Instructions" Best Uses:"Garage Storage Workshop" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. As almost every other reviewer has stated the directions leave something to be desired. We were able to figure it out and got it put together in about 6 hours with one person working alone for about half of that time. We bought the 2.5' extension as well and it fit right in. My neighbor (who helped me put it up) is jealous now and wants one as well. I got several positive comments from my neighbors when I was done. It matched our neighborhood homes perfectly.
