Pros:"Very sturdy","Easy to assemble","Attractive" Cons:"Instructions" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. My 21 year old son and I built this shed in 8 hours. It was pretty simple, but the instructions lacked more detailed diagrams. Blow-ups of critical fittings would have been helpful. I appreciated that they include extra hardware. Nothing is more frustrating than running one screw or nut short. I poured a concrete pad for it, and am glad I did. I imaging building it on anything else could be difficult. The walls are snapped down into the floor, which requires a bit of force, and which could deform any base that is not quite solid. Follow the instructions carefully, and you can't go wrong.
