To start, the instructions to put it together were a bit lacking. None of the parts were labeled and they all looked the same in the directions. There were no pre-drilled holes. Obviously we got it together but it could have been easier. This is a very nice looking storage shed. It is the perfect size to store my gardening tools and extra pots. I saw in previous reviews that some people chose to seal the wood. I didnt do this but it might be a good idea.
