Only received part of order and no response from customer service.
It's a bit flimsy,so be careful when assembling as I stripped one of the threads , their are quite a few wires to connect and to store in the center housing other than that it looks fantastic over my dining table, plus it has two light settings warm/ bright by switching light switch on and off twice.
I bought the 10ft x 8ft metal shed (with wooden log storage section) a good while back, but thought I'd leave it for a long while before leaving a review.
The instructions stated "3 Hours to assemble", but it actually took myself and two brothers (all fully capable and DIY'ers) an entire day, morning to night. I'm not sure if Superman could even build this in 3 hours.
I was rightly concerned about the hundreds of tiny screws and tiny white plastic washers holding all the side panels and roof being rain/leak proof.
Despite all screws & washers being tightly secured, the shed basically leaks all over. I used a clear 'Sticks Like Sh##' weather sealant (from Screwfix) on every screw head the shed still leaks.
I'd placed 8 metal racks (with wooden shelves) in the shed when it was first assembled, and ALL the shelves are now all water damaged, swollen and warped.
I have now just bought two 10m x 1m rolls of Black Roof Felt (& felt glue from B&Q) to completely cover the roof (& right-side wall, as water gets through these screw holes also).
It's possible the shed MIGHT not have leaked if fitted with decent dense rubber washers, instead of cheap thin tiny white hard washers.
I wish I could turn the clock back and just buy a decent wooden shed.
Christmas 2025 will include fitting & securing the roof felt - before more rain & possibly snow comes.
