Bought this for my daughter on-line. Took her and myself about 8hrs counting breaks to put up. Brother in-law helped with the base about 2 1/2hrs for that. We have had it up for couple of months so far so good. We live in Ohio and it's made it through some rain and snow with no problems yet. Haven't put up the shelves yet so can't comment on those although it is a nice that a couple are included. I think it's a fairly nice shed for the cost. All of the parts and hardware were in the box didn't have any major problems putting it up, delivery went well.
