Honestly? Tuin have been absolutely brilliant. I'm based in the North West Highlands, but delivery was fuss free and early just before Christmas with a really helpful driver - then the battle was on to get the thing erected in daylight (Sunrise at 9 sunset at 3.30 in the winter!) and a couple of us popped it up in literally 3 hours (Excluding the shingles) Couldn't be happier - and there will be photos to follow once I've painted it and done all my signs as this will be the booking office for boat trips in Gairloch. If you are unsure - don't be. Great buy and great people.

Excellent, high quality product that was easy to assemble with the aid of the plans sent with the log cabin and the video guides on the Tuin web site. The few remaining uncertainties were competently answered by the very rapid telephone responses by the Tuin support team. Thank you to all the Tuin team involved in the making, buying, delivery and installation support of this excellent log cabin. It was an enjoyable experience and we are very pleased with the final result.

From the moment of ordering online to the final part of construction I could not have wished for a smoother experience. Delivery was as promised , fast offloading and friendly driver. As a product the cabin is excellent quality timber and was assembled with out any complications by three people inside a day, the roof shingles were added the next day. Many thanks Tuin .

My wife and I have recently moved to a new house and as an alternative to the larger double garage at our previous address I opted to build a shed in the garden. I selected Tuin after researching on the internet and was not disappointed, my son and I built our shed in two days including laying the shingles on the roof. Another day saw the insulated floor installed and another couple of days to paint it. Everything went according to plan from the delivery when I asked for it and placed where I requested even though I couldn't actually be on site to the build which really was child's play. I can thoroughly recommend Tuin as a company to deal with and my only slight quibble would be the amount of spare timber included with the shed which must in the long term have an adverse impact on cost, although having said that I thought the Lucas represented extremely good value for money.

I was very pleased with the delivery and of the build quality of the Lukas cabin - went together well with no missing bits. It is also fair to say that I did regret my choice of cabin. I was really keen to get a combined storage /cabin so there was a limited choice in this size. Because of the rather sharp angles of the roof , inside the cabin it feels smaller than it need given its footprint . Obvious now but so difficult to visualise when choosing on the net. If I was purchasing again I would probably choose the flat roofed Helge . Also I would not go for the floorboards - which do look fantastic. It took my builder more time to fit these than large sheets of plywood ( also cheaper) which would have worked as I am covering with lino / carpet ( which Tuin do mention in their blog which I read too late!). I would also buy the guttering - I didn't at the time of purchase so had to rush to the DIY store so they could be fitted - however the downpipes are 'dangling' while I think of a fix due to not being able to affix to the walls because of the roof overhang .

Really good product and would definitely recommend. The cabin has been very well designed and is of great quality. We very much enjoyed building ourselves with the help of some friends. My only criticism is that the instructions weren't detailed enough. They just show all the different aspects of the cabin, but not the sequence of build. Although most of it is obvious, without the details you can make a few mistakes along the way, for example with the door threshold. Also there was no detail in the instructions on the adjustments needed to erect the Lukas cabin in mirror image, which we were doing. It would have been helpful if an extra page could be added showing the adjustments. Also I wish they could email you the instructions before delivery so you could have it all clear before arrival of the cabin. As they only include one set of instructions that you can only get to once you have unpacked most of the logs, you don't have enough time to study in detail when you have loads of friends waiting around to start the build. It took us one day to get all the walls up and the next day to finish the roof. Very pleased with the end result and the cabin looks great in our garden. My compliments to Tuin for designing a great product.

The whole experience from the advice when ordering (I didnt actually know what I wanted!) through the effortless delivery by the extremely helpful and professional driver through to the assembly (I only needed help lifting the purlings). I have advised everyone I speak to not to get a conventional shed, but to get one of these instead ~ Ive even offered to help build it as I enjoyed doing mine! Exceeded my expectations:-)
