Pros:"Sturdy","Attractive appeance","Easy assembly" Cons:"Skylights could be clear" Best Uses:"Non-seasonal items","General outdorr storage" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. We are very happy with the quality of the shed and how easy the assembly went. We had no trouble following the assembly instructions (new and improved), and all the parts bags were labeled correctly. It took three adults 4-1/2 hours to assemble on a wood frame base set on patio blocks. The base took about eight hours to build. We made every effort to make sure it was level, and it paid off in the end. All the panels and doors lined up perfectly with no gaps between wall panels or where the roof panels attach to the walls. The other brands we compared were flimsy and had gaps large enough to let in small birds. We've had rain a few times since building the shed and the inside has stayed dry each time. I would highly recommend this shed.
