Small footprint. Worth every penny
I assembled this last year. I am pretty sure it only took me a half hour. Plus where I assembled it was not where it stayed. It is lightweight and I could easily move it to another location once I got a sense of how much space and headroom was needed. Be a little gentle with the covering. It is a little tight around the corners and I did not want to risk rough handling it and causing a tear at the seams.Pros: Assembles quickly, small footprint in our basement so I can leave it up all year and fairly sturdy maybe because I am not taking it apart each year. If your basement is insulated enough to not have big swings in temperature, you don't really have to zip it closed. I do but mainly to build up the humidity and have a little extra warmth for young seedlings.Cons: You may find it cramped if you are 5' 6" or taller. I am 5'2" and it is perfect for me. The shelves are not really set up for seedlings and young plants. They measure around 20" tall between shelves which is great for mature plants but is kind of a waste of space for seedlings. You will either have to install grow lights with adjustable chains so you can lower and raise them or install stationary lights and use boxes or some other method to raise the plants just under the lights and then swap to smaller boxes to lower them down as they grow. Otherwise your seedlings will be leggy. You will have to also build your own rig for the top shelf if you want lights there too.Overall, I managed to set up a system that works for me. Mine is used in our basement for getting a head start on spring. We live in Hardiness Zone 5b so our growing season is a lot shorter than other states. I don't really need it for outside as we have a proper greenhouse there. Since it is so cold late winter and early spring, this would not really help me outside. I use it as a staging area for sprouting seeds and the following 2 transplant stages to a half pint container then liter container. By the time the plants fill out the liter container, spring is warmer and I can move them to the greenhouse outside and harden them off before planting them mid to late May.

Using as INDOOR greenhouse
I am a plant lover who recently also found their love of cats. Quickly realized that about 75% of the plants I have are toxic to cats. I bought this greenhouse to specifically to use INDOORS to keep my cats safe. It took a few hours to build (with help). Lots of parts, but easy enough. It’s nice & roomy, but had to make-shift some extra shelving on the back wall & remove some side shelves to accommodate taller plants (no fault of the company). The wire shelves would be great if you are using them for seedlings, but with pots, I had to reinforce them with some foam-core boards. The cover is thick & sturdy. So far, the cats haven’t wanted to climb it yet, but they have *tried* to get into the screen door. It’s a bit cramped inside, but it’s a great solution to let plants & cats coexist.

The cover definitely doesn't hold up well to the sun...
I purchased this in April 2021. Overall, I would actually rate this about 3.5 stars. It wasn't too difficult to assemble, but I managed it by myself (I have limited use of one arm due to surgeries). I put this out on my deck and, being in Michigan, secured it with a ratchet strap over the top and connected that to buckets filled with rocks to keep it from blowing away. During the worst winds, I put another ratchet strap around the lower part and secured it to my deck—otherwise it would be in OZ, in a dozen pieces. The screening on the windows held up for about a year, then deteriorated. I bought screen patch at first, then gave up. The screen for the door did okay until last fall. The framework is still doing alright, for the most part. The shelves were flimsy from the beginning and the zip ties they send break as you put them on. Those that don't only last a couple of months. There are clips sold by another company that may help secure the shelves better for around $13. That said, would I buy this again? Probably. For the price point, it's pretty much a disposable product. I started a lot of seeds in it, and it did well. I used glass hurricane lamps with candles inside for heat during the coldest parts of spring and fall, and it kept everything alive. The cover has holes in it after this last winter, so it's pretty much unusable now. I'm debating on whether to just order a replacement cover (from another company, since I can't find one sold by Quictent) or to order another complete kit, since I like the screen door and window options. I'll probably go with the latter option. I may search for a product to apply to the screen and cover to see if I can extend the life for a year or so - or just take it down or cover it with a protective tarp every fall (which would be much smarter, lol).

love the mesh door
I'm having to use greenhouses to keep the dang squirrels out of my potted plants (insert major eye roll). I got this one because it was clear and would allow more sunlight to come through. It was really easy to assemble, but it's definitely easier to do with two people instead of one. My favorite part about this greenhouse is that it has a two layered door. One layer is mesh and the other is plastic. With warmer weather coming, I've been using just the mesh to allow for more air circulation and zip the plastic when a cold front comes through. I have a green one from a different brand that doesn't have that. If I had gotten this one first, I would have known to look for the mesh door when buying the green one. We've had several days/nights where we've had super strong winds and it's held up pretty well, even though the anchors aren't super strong. My only complaint is that the wire shelves are a little flimsy. I had my husband lay some boards down to hold the pots easier and drilled some holes into the boards for drainage.
