Good for the price and does the job
This is a lightweight miniature greenhouse with four shelves. It is fairly easy to put together - I am a five foot nothing unfit woman without much strength and I managed it without too much trouble. You do have to push pretty hard to get some of the metal tubes into the plastic brackets. It was within my power though so I think it would be fine for anyone able bodied. People with some physical disabilities or frailty might need some help to construct it.The shelves just sit on top of the metal bars so you can remove some or all if you want to put taller plants in. However the shelves are also prone to tip or fall off if you aren't careful - so I tied mine to the bars with string. Low tech and effective. As mentioned, it is a lightweight construction, which is exactly what I wanted. I had to get it up to a third floor flat, be able to move it around myself, and it is standing on a balcony. So I didn't want something heavy. That does mean though you need to weight it down to ensure it doesn't blow away or topple. I filled up the bottom shelf with heavy plants (be sure to distribute the weight evenly across the shelf) and it has withstood strong winds. It does lean a bit so I'd definitely recommend tying the shelves on as mentioned above.The plastic covering is quite thick and there is a nice door with two zips that gives you ample access to the inside whilst being convenient to open and close. The quality is pretty good for the price - certainly adequate. It's not perfect and high quality but I don't expect that if I pay a bargain price. It isn't super warm inside - whilst it comes down to the ground, the bottom isn't sealed so cold air can get in. But I'm hoping it will be adequate to protect against extreme cold.

Good buy
I placed the mini greenhouse against a wall and it withstood the gales we had. I think I will put some hooks in the wall so I can tie it down when gales due next time. It was full of seedlings ,so heavy which helped. I would recommend to anyone.

Flexible and useful
I just answered a question on this product, and realised I hadn’t reviewed it. This has been a very useful addition to the garden. Over winter it has housed the more temperamental plants fine, and over this summer has been used as staging for plants and cuttings by splitting into 2 shelving units, and cutting/bending a wire shelf to fit only the back 2 bars, meaning split level storage. Really useful all year round now. I will be honest, it isn't the sturdiest, it will hold larger pots, but will sag alarmingly, hence only 4 stars overall, but additional support can be given to the central side supports.

highly recommend both the item and the seller.
Very pleased with both this item and the seller. The item itself is really easy to put together and the instructions are clear. You do need to make sure that each pole is correctly seated or the frame appears twisted but it only takes a little pressure to get it all pushed together correctly. The whole thing is very light (I have to move mine ever day) and very strong. The plastic feet were a bonus for me as I slide it on my wood floor. My original item has a piece missing however the seller immediately rectified this without any inconvenience to me. I can highly recommend both the item and the seller.

Love this & fab value for money
This is absolutely brilliant for what I want it for. My 15yr old son built it for me in about 15 mins max.Will say if you have nothing in it you will need to secure it. We had a windy night and it blew across the patio.Now have a watering can filled with water in the bottom for now. Just to secure it as it is to be windy at the weekend. Another tip don’t leave it unzipped when windy as the wind getting inside is what gave it that lift.

Not very sturdy
Easy to put together quickly, and looks quite smart. The mesh shelves didn't appear to be particularly secure.Had to weight it down, wasting the bottom shelf, to prevent it being blown over in mild wind.Put a few strawberry plants on each shelf, less than 15kg, and over a short time it started to tilt, then fall over sideways which appeared to twist the metal poles slightly. It would never stand upright properly again. Ended up in the bin and replaced with a regular greenhouse.Although easy to put together, it doesn't feel particularly sturdy, possibly due to the thin aluminium poles. Not sure if there's any way that you could make it more secure.

Not impressed
I decided to order this mini greenhouse after reading the good reviews. Mine was not easy to put together as some of the ends of the metal poles were very difficult to insert into the plastic struts due to small dents at the ends of the poles, I had to enlist the help of a fellow allotment plot holder who ended up using a wooden mallet to put this together properly. It’s also very flimsy so will have to be weighted down with bricks on the bottom. I’ve had a mini greenhouse put together years ago, it was nowhere as difficult as this one.

Very pleased with it
I am really pleased with this growhouse. It was reasonably easy to assemble and is as stable as I need. It must be put against a wall or fence and weighted at the bottom, otherwise a fairly strong wind would soon blow it over. It would be better if it had some way of attaching it to the fence or wall. All in all, it is good value for money and I would definitely recommend it.
