I don't know what the person who was in charge of the instruction book was thinking. The parts were all bundled by step and labeled well, but that's where it ends. Some of the pictures were small, blurry photos and some were illustrations. But neither was very helpful. We finally got it put together after many hours of frustration and some choice words sreamed across the neighborhood. My plants aren't really doing any better than they were sitting outside on the deck, so it's pretty much just a transparent garden shed at this point. It is pretty sturdy against the wind and spring storms we've had lately. Maybe it'll reach its full potential come cooloer wether when the plants have to be covered?
