4 star for what it is, 1 star if ur expecting tough shed

I like this little shed that wants to grow up to be a tuff shed but won't. BIG warning... if you have trouble with IKEA type assembly instructions you are not going to get this one together. The enclosed directions make IKEA directions look like the holy grail of directions. The wood is thin... very thin... and plan on securing it to a wall or fence as it is tipsy. Oh and so NOT water tight, especially if the doors will face sprinklers or wind driven rain... it stays pretty dry inside but does get wet here and there. Assembly was pretty easy... a BIG tip is to NOT use electric screw drivers... use a hand tool or I guarantee you will strip the thin soft wood unless you are VERY skilled with the battery/electric ones. 2nd tip give the preinstalled screws a twist, they will all be loose... in fact you might want to drop by the hardware store and grab a few extra as installing a couple more here and there would improve things... as would flat and 'L' brackets but not seriously needed, just nice. Have a nice LEVEL place to place it as it will shift to the point the doors jam if not level. I gave mine a coat of water seal just for giggles so maybe it will last a bit longer. I really like the look it is very easy on the eye and fits most anywhere... and for the light duty occasional use type of storage it is made for it's a 4 star for sure.
