These little greenhouses are really good once you have them built up, but they are a bit of a pain to put together and come in about 40 pieces, but once you have it built up it's pretty good. The shelves were the biggest PITA and we wound up using cableties to get them to stay in place, they seemed like they were too narrow for the poles they were supposed to sit on. The only thing I would say is missing would be some reinforced holes or something so that you could tie the frame directly back to a wall, as it it just has a couple of green fabric strips about 3/4 of the way up, and although so far they have held it, I reckon a really good wind, could easily rip them out, and any that point its bye bye green house.

I bought this for our yard as we dont have a back gate so anything we put in needs to come through the house. We also rent so we wanted something that was easy to put together on site and take with us, cheap and still big enough to be practical for veg growing. This is a really decent size and great value. Lots of room to work in and nice and warm. The clear plastic lets lots of light through. Assembly was simple, though the instructions are basically a diagram of the assembled greenhouse with letters and numbers rather than step by step. However, aside from a couple of moments where we'd put the wrong joints in, or they were the wrong way round, it was easy to build. Just examine the diagram carefully before you start. Don't force the poles in too hard when constructing in case you make a mistake. Once its completely assembled you can force or knock them in fully. This is particularly inportant with the shelves, which is my only criticism, as they are slightly narrower than needed. Even with poles in as tight as possible, with Hulk like chest expander effort, they still dont quite fit. Lots of people suggested zip ties so we had some ready. They do the trick nicely and its a minor problem and really not worth taking it apart to return for. In summary, very happy with the greenhouse. Lots of warmth, good value, easy to assemble and sturdy, with one tiny design fault. that is easily sorted and shouldn't. We bought some shed base to put it on, and zip tied it to them to get a good sturdy platform for it, especially handy for windy days. They are dead sturdy but light so wind is it's only enemy.

Arrived promptly and well packaged. Opening the box I was confroned by what seemed like a million piece jigsaw but actually its really easy to put together. all parts are labelled clearly and the instructions are simple yet effective! The plastic cover is a little flimsy but this is to be expected for the price! I gave the product 4 stars because there was a slight small tear in the seam of one corner of the cover when I opened it however I trust that because of where the tear is it wont matter.( its right in the bottom corner) The frame seems sturdy enough for what it is designed for. I have allready placed some window boxes full of compost and strawberry plants on some of the shelves and I think anything heavier will stress the shelving. Note that I had to use 16 cable ties (2 per shelf) to secure them to the frame but this is no great trouble. Overall it is exactly what I expected for this money and will serve me well in the coming months. Luckily I have a garden shed 1m from the placment of this and if weater warnings come in I shall relocate the whole thing inside my shed until bad weather passes ( it wont survive the west coast winds)

I bought two of these greenhouses to use temporarily during extensive garden alterations. Item 1 This was assembled easily enough but it was a very lightweight, flimsy structure that seemed impossible to stabilise in any way. I attached guy lines to the four loops on the greenhouse cover, but one of these fastening points immediately tore off from the cover. This could be repaired, but even with the four guy lines attached and secured to ground anchors and with the bottom of the frame secured inside with several 350mm U-stakes, the whole thing blew about alarmingly in even the slightest breeze. Item 2 Assembly of this could not be completed because some parts were missing. My initial contact with the seller, MHSTAR, was met with utter complacency. I was told that they could not supply the missing parts and was offered a £15 partial refund towards improvising a local repair. I explained that the missing parts were quite specific plastic mouldings made to connect four metal tubes together (see image) and that 'improvising a repair' was simply not possible; I attached a photo of the part to explain this. To be offered only a partial refund for a defective, unusable product was annoying and insulting. Eventually I had no option but to initiate Amazon's A-to-Z guarantee and return the item to the seller. Even more annoyingly, once this was initiated, the seller suddenly claimed to have been offering a full refund all along which was simply not true. In summary, a shoddy, insubstantial product that is not fit for purpose and shoddy, insulting customer service to match, indeed a level of customer service that in today's marketplace is also 'not fit for purpose'.

I've grown so many long cucumbers from only two plants in this, not to mention two watermelons (one per plant) that were very sweet in September, even better than the ones in the supermarket! I really love this. I wouldn't recommend keeping it up over the winter period, though, as it's not particularly sturdy, but it is very easy to put up and take down (I did this by myself in half an hour or so). The cover ripped in a few places, but that was good for ventilation:) It was rather my fault when I accidentally mowed the edges of it with the lawn mower, but the structure itself is sturdy enough for the summer season and the cover serves its purpose well. You can also use the trays to dry onions in there, if you're growing any or even as a tomato cage if you tie 4 of them together in a vertical tube thingy with garden wire.
