A strong gust of wind will cause the panels to pop out. I hope it lasts throught the summer but we have some bets going! Rating: 2 / 5 It is really not worth the amount of money it costs.

Received the kit in a timely manner but was taken back when it came in only 2 boxes and not very big ones. I had alot of hesitation but that was put to rest once we put it together and seen how sturdy it actually was. <br />Just like all other reviews of this item the instructions suck! If you are at all pretty handy though you can figure it out by the pictures. Well worth the money and already have seeds emerging just after 3 days.

It's not the best, but you're not paying for the best at this price. It's doing the job it's intended to do (at least for me) -- keep plants alive during the winter. <br /> <br />PROS <br />1. Seems to be pretty stable <br />2. Keeps plants warm <br />3. Attractive <br />4. Aluminum frame will not rust <br />5. Area inside (in square feet) is roomy <br /> <br /> <br />CONS / POTENTIAL CONS <br /> <br />1. Installation is not easy. My husband took several hours to install this, basically off-and-on for 24 hours. He took his time, but he did say that it's necessary to read the installation steps very carefully or you may get confused. Also, popping the windows into place was not as easy as it should have been -- some of the pieces didn't fit right, and had to be trimmed. <br /> <br />2. The aluminum frame is very light. When you open/close the sliding door, you could easily move the structure if it's not anchored. The set comes with 4 anchors, but if you have them on a cement/stone patio, you might need to find other ways to secure it. <br /> <br />3. The windows are made of a very clear plastic. This can be better than glass since purchasing a replacement part can be cheaper, but realize it's not very heavy-duty. While the greenhouse was being installed, we dented the plastic panels, but they popped out right into place. <br /> <br />4. There is only one door, and it's not easy to slide open and close. Simply spray the metal parts with WD-40 where the door and greenhouse meet to slide, and that fixes the problem. <br /> <br />5. Roof is somewhat short. I'm 5'6 and can stand up straight in it, but taller people might need to stay in the middle to keep their head from hitting the root. I think for anything taller, it would cost more anyway. <br /> <br />6. Shelves are not included, but I think if they were, the item would have been more expensive. <br /> <br /> <br />Anyway, it's not perfect, but it's good enough and I would buy it again. Based on the other greenhouse options in this price range, this is the best option, in my opinion. Rating: 4 / 5 I’ve only had this greenhouse for a few days, but I really love it.

If you have nice friends know how to set it up, then you will enjoy the green house very much!! Rating: 4 / 5 The product should be helpful for growing stuff in winter.
