Pros:"Security lock system","Looks great","Height Clearance","Sturdy materials" Cons:"Directions weren't clear","Materials not identified","Skylights" Best Uses:"Overall Storage","Lawn equipment","Seasonal Items" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Overall we are very pleased with the shed. The construction would have been faster/smoother if the parts would have been better identified. The other issue are the skylights, they're opaque, if made with a clear plastic I think it would make better sense. It took my husband, adult daughter, and I a little over 11 hours to build. I would recommend following instructions to a T, and having @ least 3 people for the process. The best thing about it is that not only is it durable and sturdy, my husband can walk in and stand without hunching over, and it's got great space for all of our suitcases, bins, seasonal items, and equipment. We're 100% satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this shed.
