This is definitely not a sturdy, heavy duty shed. Like other reviews mention, the wood is VERY thin and flimsy. Looks wise, its great. But its definitely not waterproof and I can't imagine it would stand up to even moderate winter weather. Mine arrived missing one of the shelf pieces so I had to build that piece myself to connect the shelf. Overall, it works for my purposes, which was just some extra outdoor storage for my gardening supplies but if you are looking for reliable, weather proof storage, this flimsy shed isnt the one for you.
