Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this greenhouse for my summer vegetable garden and to shelter my outdoor plants during frost. I will update this review a little further into the growing season, and again after winter 2020. For now, a review on assembly and first impressions. I am a clumsy, unskilled human. The one image provided to guide you through assembly filled me with anxiety. I worried I would need to wait for my husband's help to assemble the greenhouse, but decided to take a whack at it without him. I'm glad I did, because in 37 nearly painless minutes I built the greenhouse. The blueprint is initially overwhelming but I quickly realised I'd rather have just the diagram than 53 oages of written directions. The parts fit well into each other, but you MUST make sure everything is snugly in place. I imagine a rubber mallet would have made things go faster and smoother, but I did not have one. If your pieces are not all 100% into the joint the whole greenhouse will be wonky and the cover and shelves will not fit. I used brute force with great success - the pieces are not flimsy and I was not afraid at all to use my bodyweight to make sure all connections were completely seated. Overall thrilled with the ease of assembly. The shelves made me nervous, as the do not sit securely on the frame. Easily fixed with black zip ties for seamless look. Not bothered by the shelves enough to deduct stars. I added a thermometer to the greenhouse and on a rainy 57 degree day, the inside of the greenhouse is a comfortable 73.6 degrees. I have moved a chair into the greenhouse. I may never leave. I will dearly miss my husband but I am home now.
