Very good product, delivered on time and favourably priced. As a proficient handyman some of the instructions were not always clear and required further research. Very satisfied overall.

There is limited access to my property. The delivery driver worked out the best option and without any fuss dropped the unit off in my driveway. What a star. The building was easy to assemble and went up without a problem. I found it very useful to identify the various pieces for door surrounds etc. by measuring and counting, then writing their identification number on the end of each one. The extra back log was a little confusing. I am now at the stage of fitting the shingles but it looks straight forward. Overall an excellent product which not only is exstremely useful but adds to the general appearance of a property. I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone who wants such an item.

I started the Lucas log cabin at the beginning of the lock down and was pleased i had really good weather i did it on my on my own at my own pace and it took a few weeks from start to completion I had loads of digging out before i could lay the base for it ,once I started it was pretty straight forward building it which I enjoyed there was only one twisted board end so g clapped it overnight and that solved the problem ,I am really pleased with quality and design of the cabin it took a few months of research before I went ahead and placed the order after reading some brilliant reviews and can now see what they mean I have just finished laying the patio around it and are now just waiting for the furniture to complete the inside this is taking a lot longer to come due to the factory been closed down but once we get that in cant wait to start using it.Also the delivery driver was very friendly and helpfull all in all would highly recomend Tuin Cabins

Firstly I'd like to say how efficient the drive was delivering, putting it exactly where I wanted it, the build went up like Lego perfect. Well made and good quality. The diagram helped and was easy to understand.Roof and shingles worked out very well with spares left over. However the cylinder lock on the doors were not as easy to assemble, the screw holding it in place was not lined up correctly, making it difficult to alien. Otherwise a fantastic cabin, we love it, pride of place, we are well pleased. Well done Tuin.

**BEST IVE SEEN** and Ive seen and researched a lot. From the very start to fitting the last piece every was 100% Tuin staff, delivery, product and even answering emails out of hours all were amazing. As they say if your thinking about getting a cabin ensure you have a level base. I made sure my concrete base was level and in 1 day my wife and I had it built and the next day I put the shingle roof on, 2 days total and it was so rewarding to see an amazing structure in my garden. What a man cave I have.

Lovely cabin, very enjoyable to build (like expensive lego for grown ups). The actual cabin went up very quickly, 2 beginners approx 2 full days. It's then taken another 3 days for me on my own to apply two coats of oil/stain and put in the flooring. Very happy with the end result.

Delivery was on time and the driver excellent. We live in the sticks and getting the large pallet to us was an adventure in itself. Having checked all the parts off, we were only missing the spare beam, so asking god of spare beams for luck we plowed on. My son had made a base on raised supports - level as required. He had a Tuin cabin delivered last year which he constructed himself. No problems, its just big boy LEGO, he assured me. The build took about three days from first layer to first coat of protectant. Not bad when he had managed to fall down one of the holes he had dug for the posts - oh we laughed! We struggled with a badly twisted beam which we laid in the first layer and constantly battled with. The cabin went together easily and it was a joy to watch someone else work from the comfort of my garden chair. On the down downside......the cabin is not cut to the same spec as my sons cabin. The roof beams that he has are considerably heavier and for the same span. The window fastenings on this one are not as good quality as his. Facia boards for the doors and windows have not been made out of single pieces of timber, but rather a collection of off cuts which is simply not as good to look at. Lastly the door locks appear cheaper and do not operate as well. One of the catch plates was fitted the wrong way round, and had had the lip chopped off to enable this. We are still battling with the lock and mechanism for this door - it may settle. Overall, this is an excellent product and looks great in our space. However it seems that some corners have been cut since the production of my sons shed which as its just a few doors away is easy to compare. I am fortunate to have someone who can manage these minor irritations, some may not be.

Really good service. It took longer for us to assemble as we chose to paint each piece of wood with light oak preservative before assembling. Delivery was easy although a day earlier than originally requested. Some of the wood was split but there was additional pieces so that you could select the best wood when assembling. It took a bit of time to work out what bit was for what as when you opened the pack it was mixed to make the packaging more streamline but we got there eventually and we are very pleased with the quality and the result. Well worth the money.
