Sturdy and stylish. The parts do seem flimsy until you get them together. It is very sturdy and very cute. It does take time though. But that’s to be expected. A couple of tips: first thing is to plan hours the day prior to spend removing the plastic covering from every single tin piece. We did not do this and it was quite annoying to do the day of building. This is a multi person job. Atleast 2 people. Took us 8 hours so plan a day. Also two drills if possible. Obviously you don’t want to abuse the screws and hit them with a drill hard but it saves SO much time using them gently. Unfortunately we were not able to manage such small screws with the gloves provided so we did end up with several cuts. Lastly when laying out your pieces, some did not come with labels so you will need to match the pictures. I suggest having a sharpie to write on those with so you aren't confused later. Overall I’m very pleased.

For the price, you get a lot with the 9x4 kit. With this price, delivered to your door (ultimately from China), there can't be much profit if any. The kit is packed well and the instructions are lego-style and completely sufficient. The metal is thin so you will have pieces that are dented/bent. Most can be bent back into shape, but be careful because it is easy to over bend. Based on the style and value, I would have given this a 4-star rating. One major flaw, every piece is covered in a thin "protective" plastic film and it's a pain in the *ss to take off. The large pieces come off in sheets but the bent pieces make it a mind-numbing experience. This is a big kit and it literally doubled the assembly time. Half the time was removing plastic and and half was building. AND, the plastic did seemingly nothing. It's so thin, plenty of pieces were still scratched. Insult to injury, the scratches made it even harder to remove the plastic because the plastic was cut while scratching the metal. This kit would have been a strong recommend from me if they just slipped paper between the pieces to avoid abrasion during shipping. I suspect if you leave the plastic on you will regret it after it spends some time outside.Overall, it's as flimsy but functional as you might expect for the price. Its look is significantly more valuable than the price. I'm glad I have it. I'm glad I didn't pay much. I hope to never assemble one again. :)Tips: - Use the predrilled holes to help you align and square everything. The corrugated metal can be push and pulled to line up. I didn't have to drill any holes except a couple where roof pieces intersected.- Use a screw gun (obviously), but don't over tighten the screws as they will strip out. The screws are harder than the metal so they are happy to just drill the hole bigger.- Build it on a level surface. The structure is very light weight and doesn't have much strength until the pieces are in place. This means nothing will be square until screwed together so give yourself the best chance of success- Wear the gloves that came with it. They actually prevent injury and you can cut off the tips of the first finger and thumb (just the very tips) to allow you to grab and hold screws.- You will need a step ladder.- Keep your expectations low and you will be happily surprised. :)

If I could put ZERO star, I would. People, do not make the same mistake like me. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!! First of all, the instruction sheet consists of only diagrams with absolutely NO explanations. Secondly, in order to assemble this shed, you will need to screw and bolt a MILLION little holes with the supplied little screws and nuts and bolts. They are about 3 mm big, not even big enough for little fingers to hold. I kid you not, there are hundreds and thousands of these holes you will need to fasten with these little tiny screws and nuts and bolts. Thirdly, this shed is flimsy. They say metal, but you can bend it easily. It's paper thin. When the shed is set up, it blows in the wind. Also, the doors do not match up and close without a gap, because basically, the frame is bendable and pliable. Also, it is sold as a 6 by 4 shed. It it NOT. Somewhere on the post it says it is 67.3 x 38.6, which makes it LESS than 6 feet and a LOT LESS than 4 feet!! I believe that is false advertisement. Because there is only diagram and absolutely no text to explain, it is easy to turn the thing around and install it wrong. I did. For example, there are two latches (up and down) on one door and one padlock on the other door. HOWEVER, the frame that the two latches latch on to has a hole. If you build the frame wrong (like I did), guess what? only the bottom latch will latch and not the top (or vice versa!!) How are you supposed to know this? They don't tell you, and the diagram does not show that the holes much be on ONE side of the door and not the other!! I have never complained so much installing anything before. And my husband finally just plain gave up, calling this a piece of junk. (I've called it worse things than that.) They get you, because, although it says 30 days return and refund available, how are you going to put all the pieces back in the 100 pound box to return it? I want a partial refund for the hardship and horrible 3 days I went through putting this badly made structure together. People, DO NOT BUY THIS DEFECTIVE ITEM!!!!!! I wish I could say more about how horrible an experience this is. Totally misrepresented by the videos and photos. I can't help but feel there is false advertising involved here. The product is NOT as described. at all, in so many ways!!!!
