THE SHED Review:
This shed is a beast... It is large and heavy but very awesome. Once assembled, it is really stable, more-so than I thought it would be for a plastic shed. A lot of engineering went into this to make the shed nice. Reading the other assembly reviews, I went in with my eyes wide open expecting the worst. I had 3 guys come over plus myself to install it with 2 copies of the instructions and it took us just under 6 hours. One guy for instructions, one guy for inventory and laying out the next step(s) and 2 guys to do the actual assembly. It was a very efficient operation.

My criticisms for the shed itself would be;
1.) The Anchors to concrete; it calls for qty 4, 3/8 in cement bolts. I only had 1/4" bolts so I used 8 instead of 4. I would actually recommend they change the instructions to use 8, spaced out bolts, instead of just 4.
2.) The instructions are not very clear and the pictures are sometimes difficult to interpret.
3.) The skylights. The Seals are terrible. Once assembled, I went up and put clear silicone caulk around the skylights. I would recommend you purchase a tube of clear silicone caulk with the concrete anchors when you are preparing to set this up.

SHEDS FOR LESS Review:
The shed was great, but I kind of knew this going into the deal. I researched it up and down, saw it in person at Home Depot, etc... The variable here is Sheds for Less Direct. The reason I chose them was because they were cheaper, had no sales tax and free shipping. It was an all around great deal financially. The only criticism I have is that the order showed Processing for almost a week after submitting it. That scared me a little, especially when I just dumped $1,700 on a website I never used before. I received an e-mail telling me that the order was received and that it was processing but the status of my order stayed that way for almost a week. I was nervous after day 3 so I called. The guy on the other end assured me it was okay but it also sounded like he was working out of his garage. A little unsettling. After 6 days, I received an e-mail indicating it was being shipped which made me feel better. It arrived shortly after on a palate and they put it in my driveway. Overall, the shipping was great.

** Recommendation for the seller would be to add a little more customer communication into the order process.

All in all, this was a good experience; ordered, shipped and received in about 2 weeks. I would definitely recommend this reseller. In fact I have recommended them to 2 friends who helped put it together this weekend. They are also looking for sheds.
