This is very easy to assemble. The cover took two of us to get on due to the clumsiness of trying to get it over the top after assembly. The assembly frame structure looks very flimsy; the tubing is very thin. Once fully assembled it tightened right up and works fairly well. the shelving on one of the sections isn't fitting at all; this will be an easy fix wit zip ties, The shelf racks are very very flimsy-one XL seedling tray made the shelf flex.
The winds here did give it a little bit of a ballooning look, but I secured it to my house and to some t-posts- the little spikes with rope are very useless if you have any sort of wind.
However, the cover itself is thick but I have decided to have a cover trap ready in case of hail during our monsoon season and over winter to reduce snow load on the cover.
I did have a horrible mishap with my young house germinated seedlings the first night I moved them into the new wonderful greenhouse....
Got up the next morning to find all my seedling and green bean starters were heat cooked! LOL
All that was inside that little darling greenhouse was nicely steamed at a staggering 110 degree F when I went out at 11 am to check on the seedling babies. Boohoo. : (
Looks like this darling is going to hold some fantastic heat over my Northern Arizona winter. HAHA!
Very light duty. Came missing one of the poles. Couldnt wait to request a replacement. FYI 1/2 copper pipe is the same size. Not sure how long this will last but its working for this season.
Update 06/10/22:
Im surprised at how well this inexpensive greenhouse is holding up. My wife really likes it. I updated my review from 3 to 4 stars. Also, the seller offered to replace the missing piece after my initial review which was commendable.
PERFECT little greenhouse. This little pop up greenhouse was super easy to put together. 2 NOTES: 1. Weigh it down, as it WILL blow away if you dont. I put a construction/cement block over the bottom leg in each corner....and I also put it against the side of the house to help absorb the wind pressure. 2. Get a fan or two, and an infrared heater... in March I had an infrared heater inside, set to 75. In April, I only needed the heater at night. And into the first bit of May, I removed the heater and needed a bigger fan, facing out to pull out the heat (I used a box fan sitting on large box, that was sitting on a chair...heat rises, so the fan needed to be high up.). I also placed a small clip on fan in there, to help circulate the air...which is helpful for your plants to build strong stems and roots. The shelves are fine, but a bit narrow. The windows are nice, but they could use some better Velcro. The zipper door is easy. BUT, the one thing this greenhouse needs is ROOF VENTS. This would have been very helpful on those sunny days where it gets hot in the greenhouse. Heat rises, so having roof windows would have been very beneficial. (This is where my box fan came in). NOTE: This greenhouse get VERY HOT, VERY QUICK when its getting full sun. I mean like, the temperature rose from 78 to 94 in a matter of like 15 minutes. Keep a temp gauge and a humidity gauge in there and keep an eye on it. Easy to disassemble for storage too...save the box it comes in.
Living in Northern California wanted to provide some shelter for my plants and the intense heat. I had to pull that top off and I used a UV blocking shade cloth instead. Works really good to protect all of my succulents, cactus, and other more delicate plants from the heat waves.
I love my greenhouse. let me start my growing season earlier. Also provided protection when we had the clod snap. My only problem was the leaks. At first I assumed something must have gotten a small hole. But then I realized it leaks inside for the entire length of the greenhouse, on both sides. The leak is coming from where the seams bind the top half of the cover to the bottom half. I wanted to be able to control the water flow and source for plants inside so this posed a bit of a problem. I added clear plastic along the seams on both sides to direct the water down...but thats more water on the ground inside and more heat. with the limited air flow...didnt do my plants very well. But Im working on adding a cooler inside until i can get a permanent structure in place.
Put together easily but sent less connectors as to use in the instructions for construction, sent enough connectors but wrong ones so its not put together with the right connectors for pieces, although it still worked out its not exactly the way its suppose to go together

Pretty good greenhouse.
The greenhouse is roomy and the shelves are somewhat sturdy. The only thing that hasnt worked for us, is the zipper. It broke on the first use.
Smaller than expected

PERFECT, with only one drawback.

Shelves are flimsy.
Flimsy shelving
Decent product
My only complaint is the velcro on the window did not line up completely.
Missing parts. No option to get missing parts. Wish I could return.
Easy to assemble IF you have all of the parts.
Good House
