Very good playhouse for our grandkids. Elbec responded very quickly with a spare part for a broken window catch. We are adding a cedar shingle roof to create a real Swiss chalet look.

Relatively easy to erect with help, found some nails in the roof where they missed the frame resulting in them sticking through, a couple of pieces slightly warped, but often expectedwith wood, lovely and cosy inside and liked the option of being able to chop and change the design. We put in a cat flap as it used as a cat house, they love it especially when it's sunny

The quality of the aluminium fittings were very poor. The window fitting handle was impossible to use due to a poor finish. Obviuosly no quality control. I couldn't lift up the handle due to the metal catching when lifting up the handle.

The 4 x 3 Victorian greenhouse is good value for money with the discount and is flexible where you position doors and open windows. When delivered the drivers unpacked the parts and helpfully took packaging away. Unfortunately the wooden sides, doors and windows appear warped and do not fit well together. One window was cracked when delivered and had to be replaced. The plastic cover on windows was challenging to remove. The instructions for how to assemble were very brief and in need of text to explain assembly.

I'm a competent woodworker so I did the best job I was able to with the quality of the overlap timber. Quite a lot of warped wood, not planed or finished, hence lots of splinters. A little disappointing, I'm hoping it keeps the shed contents dry but it seems unlikely. Too many gaps. I now wished I'd paid a bit more for a better quality unit.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience with our product. We understand your disappointment with the building that has been delivered. Warping can certainly affect construction, and we are sorry that this has impacted your project. Warping is a natural effect of all timber, which is a result of rapid changes in moisture levels and weather temperatures, although it is not a detrimental effect on the structure's integrity. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team. Kind Regards, elbec Garden Buildings

The buying experience was very straight forward and I was able to select a delivery date which was very useful , the product was delivered on time and the driver unloaded it and brought into my back garden via a side gate , so I cannot fault your buying and delivery service . As to the product itself a Victorian Tall wall greenhouse It arrived with no pieces missing but was still wet/damp from I take it from the treatment and some of the parts were warped , this made assembly difficult I had to use additional fixings to force parts together and to straighten parts , many of the joints are not a tight fit leaving large gaps in which have used a clear outdoor sealant for additional waterproofing ,other parts I have had to use power tools to make adjustments,I would have expected a more close fit on the finished greenhouse , in terms of the doors and opening windows .I have painted the item with two coats of Protek paint for additional weatherproofing .I know you make these out of softwood but it should be seasoned and after pressure treatment held until the items are dry .I have accepted the product as it is and hopefully it will last . Your ordering and delivery is very good but the product lets you down

Purchased a 12 x 8ft shed. Decent price and delivered quickly. Instructions for assembly not clear in places but managed to work it out. 2 sections of the shed weren’t square. The door required planing to fit the gap, and the Perspex for 1 of the windows also needed cutting. Overall - not bad.

Very pleased with the shed. It is a touch flimsier than I expected, and it took me a touch longer to work out where to start assembling it. But once I got into the YouTube video on the app it was very straight forward . Good value for money.

Delivery delayed twice. When the greenhouse arrived there was a back panel missing from the order. Me and my husband had 2 days booked off work to erect the greenhouse and then couldn’t put it up cos an integral part had been missed. Contacted them immediately, stressed we needed this ASAP. They said they’d get back in touch …. they didn’t. Rang again next day to follow up missing section. Said they’d had got in touch with manufacturer and was waiting to hear back from them. Had to insist they get in touch with them and let me know what’s happening. Never heard back from them!!!! So the greenhouse is in sections waiting to be erected and we’ve waisted 2 days off !!! FURIOUS. There seems to be no urgency or acceptance that this was there mistake and should have been even avoidable. How the hell can you miss off a back panel and send it out incomplete.

Good service from start to finish with helpful delivery driver and value for money product. If I had one issue its that the screws are very poor and when used with a electric screw driver the larger ones lose their heads.
