Don't buy this.
See 1.
Metal is very thin. Handle carefully or you will bend/dent it.
Metal is very sharp. You should wear gloves at all times. You will then get frustrated, remove your gloves, and get cut. Repeat.
On mine, there was a thin plastic film covering a few of the metal parts (the doors, the gables). Looks kinda like heavy saran wrap. This metal was even thinner than the rest. You have to peel this film off prior to assembly. Roll it up. It's tedious. Don't cut yourself (too much).
The included sheet metal screws strip easily if you apply too much torque. Start at the lowest setting your driver offers. The slightly thicker metal (the structural, galvanized stuff) can take a bit more torque.
When two pieces need to be screwed together in a particular order, the instructions will not always indicate this clearly. If a large predrilled hole laps a small predrilled hole, triple check you're putting the pieces together right: if so, make sure the screw goes thru the large hole first (the head will hold this connection together, albeit weakly).
You'll need a second person. Not all the time, but it's mandatory some of the time, and useful the rest.
You'll need a step ladder. Do not, under any circumstances, lean a ladder up against this shed.
You assembled the door correctly, or maybe you didn't. Either way it sticks and hangs open at the bottom.
You will need to anchor this. I made it easy by putting it on a small, concrete pad.
Full disclosure: got mine free from a neighbor who was too lazy to assemble it. Smart man. I plan to reinforce it structurally a bit (and add a floor) to see if i can get a few years out of it. Wouldn't build it from scratch again tho, even a free one.
though the wheelbarrow alone might be more weather resistant...

I don't expect this shed to last more than two years.
