Bought this because we wanted something a bit more attractive than the usual plastic and aluminum greenhouse at our new home. It is of solid construction. All panels in good condition when they arrived. Instructions are pretty good. You definitely need 2 people to put together and you will need some DIY experience to make a good job of it. We had the main structure put up in a few hours (we already had a solid level base in place), but be warned, there is a lot of bits and pieces to paint - 2 days work to get that done! . Silicone sealant is recommended for putting in the glass too. Putting in the glass takes some time and care but overall the finshed products looks fanatastic and is very robust.
