Attractive, sturdy, and spacious
I want to give as detailed of a review as possible so I can help anyone else considering purchasing this shed. I purchased this 7.5 x 11 foot shed for a total of $1322 including tax and free shipping. It must have been on sale on Amazon because the price has now gone up to over $1800, and to be honest I probably would have looked at other options at that price point, so keep that in mind with this review. Ordering and Delivery: I ordered and paid for the item through amazon on 26Apr2018 and scheduled a delivery date on the Amazon website of Saturday 19May2018, which I believe was the earliest weekend I could select. I received an email on 02May2018 from the local company delivering the shed to schedule an actual delivery date, completely independent of the one I selected on amazon. The local delivery company was able to deliver the shed 3 days later on 05May2018, so an entire 2 weeks prior to my initial Amazon delivery date selection. This shed is shipped in three separate boxes, each of them roughly about 1’ x 4’ x 7’ and in total weighing hundreds of pounds, so moving them with just one person is very challenging. The delivery company carried them to my backyard, and I opened them and separated the pieces from there. Building a Platform: After I ordered the shed, I began constructing a platform. Do not skip this step, as tempting as it is to save $200, you will later regret not assembling this shed on a platform. I leveled my yard with filling dirt which I watered and tampered for days to make sure I had a solid foundation. I then constructed an 8’ x 12’ platform using several 2” x 6” x 8’ and two 2” x 6” x 12’ lumber (Pressure treated for ground contact). Each 8’ board was spaced 16” apart, and perpendicular supports were added through the center of the frame. The frame was topped with three 4’ x 8’ pieces of plywood (Pressure treated for ground contact) and once the platform was leveled, the shed was ready to build on top. For minor leveling adjustments I did read using spare roof shingles in the corners works well, but I did not need to do this step fortunately. Constructing the Shed: I did as much initial prep as possible myself before inviting my friend over to help. I separated out all of the pieces around my yard and leaned everything up around my fence for easy view and access. I spent around 30 minutes unboxing and organizing all the pieces. I then went through the manual and began building ALL the parts that I could do myself (the floor, the roof bars, the windows, the roof panels that connect together, etc.). Total this took around 2.5 hours doing this myself. My friend came over and we began constructing all of the parts the parts that require two people. Most of these steps are more about just having someone hold a piece while you put some screws in it, nothing is terribly heavy. We finished the shed in about 4 hours together at a casual pace, so TOTAL time it took me about 6.5 hours from start to finish, 4 of which involved a helping friend. Pros of assembling the shed: Every piece was well marked and included in the kit. Nothing was missing, and there are additional screws, fittings, clips, etc. in case you manage to lose or strip a few here and there. For the most part everything goes together well. The engineering is very efficient on this thing, so kudos to whoever designed all the parts. It’s like assembling a big LEGO set for adults, and I actually had fun putting most of it together. Almost all of the pieces are designed in a way that makes it hard to screw up, no pun intended. The only real decision you need to make is where to put the windows, so other than that just follow the instructions and you’ll be good to go. Cons of assembling the shed: There were a couple times where I was worried there was going to be an issue. The wall boards show very specifically in the instructions to make sure the tops are level, but there was some variation in the wall heights between boards that did not allow for a flushed level between several of them. Once the roof was on, that was totally okay though, since they are then hidden and do not affect anything. The only challenge we experienced was connecting all of the roof pieces together and making sure they are all lined up before trying to screw them together. It took a big of adjusting, pushing, and pulling, but eventually everything lined up and was screwed together fine. There was only one issue we had where a part was completely totaled. When you go to assemble the doors, there are 4 metal bars that go up through the door panels. It is one of the very last steps to assembling this thing. When we screwed the bars to the frame, we managed to snap almost every single screw fitting without using any excessive force. Because of this, only 1 of the 4 support beams in the door is functioning properly which are there for door stability/security purposes, and do not affect the support structure of the actual shed. To be honest, I’m pretty disappointed in this, and am going to try and figure out some sort of solution, and possibly reach out to the manufacturer. That being said, it’s not enough to dock a star, but it does give me a little bit of concern about how secure the doors will be in the unlikely event that someone would try to break into the shed. Overall Experience: All in all I am happy with the shed and feel it is as described so far. I haven’t gone through any serious weather conditions, and have no idea how it will hold up over time. Keep in mind, this is a plastic shed that I paid around $1300 for. It is sturdy, spacious, and looks attractive for the cost. I feel like this style looks much better than the playschool toy looking sheds offered by similar companies, and I did choose this particular shed largely based on looks but also due to its online reputation in quality. If anything changes I will revisit this review and update, but for now, I am a happy customer! **UPDATE** 12Jun2018 - I reached out to Keter customer service about the door bar issue and they sent me two new replacement doors free of charge, no questions asked, that arrived about 2 weeks after contacting them. I'd call that pretty excellent customer service!

Great engineering an I am satisfied.
I was impressed with the quality of engineering involved. Everything fit together with exceptional ease. It took me and my son about 4.5 hrs after it was unpacked. The instructions were precise and clear. No one part was to heavy and all could easily be moved by myself (65 years old). I started by building a LEVEL and stable platform from treated lumber. Do not skip this step. The only problem was with shipping. It came strapped to a pallet and one of the boxes was damaged. It happened to be damage on one of the doors. As of this writing I have not contacted the company. I am waiting until after Christmas. If needed I would nit hesitate buying from this company. A great product at a fair price. I will update later on dealing with the busted door.

Nice shed to clean out that garage.
Great shed and Keter customer service is the best I have ever worked with. 3 pieces were damaged in shipment and sent replacements right out. Sent a wrong colored replacement and put correct one in a truck next day. Purple make mistakes and they make it right. Have several Keter products. Move your windows where you want. Overhead transom brings in plenty of light. Would be better is there were screens add it does get hot. Great product, easy to put up with instructions.

Decent shed
Unit comes in two large boxes, check boxes for damage of any kind. Heavy. Damage to the end of a couple of wall sections, nothing that stopped installation, but Keter could/should provide stronger packaging. For the money the shed is decent. Installation instructions are good. Must have a level surface. Must be gentle with screw installation, it is plastic after all. Just experienced huge amounts of rain for days, no leaks. Requires two people for assembly for the most part for ease of installation, plan for a half day to build. Easy overall project. Look up the product on Keter.com for instructions before you buy so you understand the process. Like the 10 year warranty.

I absolutely love the shed
I absolutely love the shed ! It was incredibly easy to put together. The fit and finish on this product is top notch. Is so much better than the plastic sheds. The best part is you do not have to maintain it the way you do with a wood one. There’s nothing to paint or have to upkeep in order for it to stay nice. Plus if you want to paint it the outside it is paintable. The doors are really nice and sturdy for being plastic. You will not be disappointed with this shed and it is going to give years and years of storage.

If you not a Pro , you definitely need a second hand! MOMA(x2), only 2upper +1 lower screw! Roof panel won't clip in complete
I build my own foundation 12'x 8' platform , 2layers of plywood secured on a 4"x 4" framework . It was very easy to put the storage shed together. It took me less than 8hrs. " all alone " and the beauty was up. It is a great shed for my yard, also it is made out of Plastic / PVC , the double doors are aligned + open and close with no problem .

Perfect to store things in.
It took my husband and I two days to put together, the instructions were clear and it works great. It keeps all the kids toys dry and stored out of the sun, lots of room inside.

Great shed
Looks good. Went together with no problems. You’ll need two people to put it together especially for the roof. After some heavy rains and gusty winds it was bone dry and still standing. Quality product.

Easy to install very spacious
It took me a good 5-6 hours to put it together but looks great and it does the job, the the build material feel cheap and weak I wish they can make the materials more durable, you need two people to build this other wise it will take a long time if you are alone
