UPDATE: it hasnt even been a year. My Greenhouse is leaking in several areas on the top. I messaged the seller to see if they replace covers or offer a discount on the replacement considering its only been 9 months. They dont. The replacement cover is 54. The actual item is 70 brand new. Might as well buy a new Greenhouse every 6 or so months if youre looking to house your plants continuously. I wouldnt purchase this product had I known this. Especially considering all the alterations I had to make in order for it to be durable. Keep looking or at least bare in mind this is a very temporary option and wont last you very long and the replacement price is a rip off.
I love my greenhouse so far. We assembled it during some fairly high winds in California recently and it held up very nicely. I will say though that we made some adjustments. This product only comes with 8 zip ties. We used probably another 22 of our own to really secure the cover to the shelving. We also didnt use the equipment it came with to anchor it down. We instead used these screws and anchors pictured below on all four corners and the front and back of the framing. This is why I give it 4 stars for both stability and sturdiness. I feel like the shelving needs to be replaced or reinforced, especially for larger/heavier plants. But other wise I am very happy with my purchase. The cover is very thick and maintains temperature inside. The windows on either side are a nice touch. The front zippers seem flimsy so Im extra careful with them. As far as first timer green house/ this is perfect and my succulents and cacti are very happy/ therefore Im happy!
