This was purchased to protect my huge ferns and a few other plants from the winter. I purchased this size to place under a partially covered patio. All of the pieces were individually bagged and easy to construct. It was up in about an hour. It probably would not withstand high winds out on its own even though it came with tie downs and stakes, but overall, it serves its purpose for me.
The size and the shelves for the price is why I decided to purchase this greenhouse. This is my first experience with a greenhouse. After I lost many very mature plants in last February's mega freeze, I thought I needed a greenhouse. The greenhouse shelves are not sturdy enough to hold my potted plants. Fortunately, I have leftover hardiboard planks that miraculously had already been cut to the exact size of the wire shelves. The hardiplank is strong, but lightweight, and was the only reason that I was able to put my potted plants on a shelf structure. The wire shelves alone sunk inward from the weight of my potted plants. Without added structure, the wire shelves would only be suitable for seed starter trays. If that's all you need then this would be great for that.
The two ventilation windows will not keep cold out, so I will need to tape them on really cold days. Furthermore, I don't believe this greenhouse is built for cold weather which is what I bought it for.
There is one location where the seam was mis-stiched causing a gap. I will need to buy some duct tape to seal the gap. See photo.
For central Texas weather, this greenhouse will not protect my plants. One day the temperature will be in the low thirties like two nights ago, and the next day will be in the 70s like this whole week. Because it only has one door for ventilation, I may need to move some plants out. I was hoping this greenhouse would eliminate all the work I had to do before, which was moving plants in and out of my garage all the time.
I will probably need to buy a larger greenhouse with two doors, better windows, and rated for freezing weather. But those are more expensive and I will need to buy sturdier shelves, and I am not sure my plants will be safer than in my garage. The whole point of buying a greenhouse was to save my plants from freezing and to free up my garage for my vehicle.
Takes patience and some common sense while assembling. Helps if two people do it and to put petroleum jelly in all the fittings before assembly. Inventory all the parts before assembly to make sure nothing damaged or missing. Mines was all good.
Its what I expected… nothing more, nothing less.
Hoping to enjoy it for years to come. It is in full sun so curious to see how long itll last.
All in all, happy with it

Small ,not bad
Small not very spacious but it works and it's functional, too pricey
It was too small and I had to return it
It was very easy to assemble, but it was too small to accommodate my needs. Therefore, I had to return it.
Lasted about 3 weeks.
Didnt survive the first rain storm.
We use them for garage storage for our plants in winter.

For Its Purpose, Worth the Purchase

Best used as a small patio seed starter greenhouse

My Green House experience
It works, but is very subject to rips and tears ! It does keep my plants safe from the cold weather.
