Exactly what I wanted.
I notice most of the reviews are a few years old. i just put this greenhouse together today, and it's exactly what I wanted. Maybe the company made some minor improvements. I was able to put the frame together myself very quickly, but needed my husband to help slide on the cover. I stood on the left side, he stood on the right side, and it went on with no problem. Both zippers work smoothly. I put bricks on the "skirt", but it hasn't been wind-tested yet. I'm hoping the garage wall will provide some wind protection. I bought another package of stakes for added protection, and have the frame secured to the ground with these. The cover's sewn-in ties secure it to the frame in eight places. I bought the greenhouse to protect my young plants from rabbits and deer. Also to start my bulbs. (Squirrels dig up the bulbs in the yard.)

So far so good
i live in a very windy area in California,san bruno, and have found that this is holding up fairly well. The stakes that come with it are not strong enough to stop it from blowing over. Get some heavy bricks ang weigh it down so it cant move.The zippers are hard yo use at times and seem to be putting stress on the greenhouse. Vents are nice. Since it never gets below 55 at night, i leave them open all the timeIt holds three tomato plants in 5 gallon containers.it is easy to take them out and follow the sun on a good day . Get the tomato plants from Lowes with the tomato cages attahed. Makes them eady to lift. Get a hormone spray so the flowers will set fruit as sometimes this can be a problem. More later after the season and resultsPs. Be sure you duck tape the poles where they connected or the wind will blow them apart

Nice, and good quality, but not perfect.
As many have mentioned, this unit is smaller on all sides than described. I REALLY needed the extra space, but have to adapt. There are very few greenhouses (none, actually) with this form factor. Since I'm stuck with a certain space, this was it. I bought a thin rubber mat for the floor, and will Velcro the sides to it. They tuck under the unit, but that's a laugh, because they will NOT stay there. I also bought some 2x2's to make a stand inside to hang plants and a light on. The unit is pretty sturdy, but not hanging plant sturdy. I now have to look for something else for the plants that wouldn't fit in it, and will have to move them in cold weather. I'm pretty ticked about the small size, but hey... I really wish I could have just built one myself, even though I'm challenged in that area. I would have tried, except for the problem of how to make a cover and/or doors. The unit was the most intuitive design for assembly I have even seen (and I'm NOT good at assembly). It took mere minutes, and I did it alone. Putting the cover on was a little harder, so I got a second pair of hands. Certainly a lot of work for tomatoes, but I just HAVE to....

Good greenhouse
The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is because we had to add a sheet of plexiglass in the middle section of the roof, between the struts and the cover, since the rain was pooling there. Otherwise, this is a good greenhouse.

consider placing it somewhere that's protected from wind and anchor it down since it's pretty lightweight.
The width was 5" too short but managed to make it work. Missing one of the strength brace across at the top but it's holding with 1. The front is taller vs the back at a slant so make sure you have the connectors facing properly. I'm using this as an enclosure for winterizing my plants in the garage to protect them from the cold drafts when the garage doors are opened so it should work well. If you plan on putting it outside, consider placing it somewhere that's protected from wind and anchor it down since it's pretty lightweight.

Great size - love the features!
For the price offered, I love this greenhouse! It goes together easily and has a large entrance plus two side vents. I put an industrial style shelf inside and can't wait to start my plants. In the past, I have had a greenhouse that came with shelves and I will not do that again as they're just not strong enough. Easier to put in your own! Right now I have all of my bulbs in there hoping to force them a little early.Many have complained about the quality of some of these portable greenhouses. This one has great features but its still a portable greenhouse. I'm fortunate that I can locate it next to the house so there won't be wind issues but I could see how that would be an issue as a stand-alone if you couldn't tie it down. I thought about filling the supports with sand or gravel to add a little weight for the supports.All in all I'm very pleased with this greenhouse. The door is large and convenient and I haven't had any issues with zippers or anything else.

So Far, So Good!
The greenhouse arrived today and I assembled it fairly quickly. As I was securing the ties to the poles, one of the tied popped off. I wasn't too happy about that but made sure I tied the remaining ones loosely.I like the dimensions of this particular greenhouse of all the ones I researched. I have three tomato plants that I want to protect as the weather cools down. This size of the greenhouse is adequate and I was able to fit two extra large flower pots inside. The plastic seems somewhat sturdy and the zippers worked great on the flap. I'm curious to see how well it holds up and protects my plants. Will post an update in the near future.

I should have focused on the poor reviews before ordering this
I should have focused on the poor reviews before ordering this. The parts don't line up. With the front being higher than the back, the manufacturer didn't angle the corner parts accordingly which makes the top center bars impossible to secure. I should have known when the first thing I read when I opened the box was, "Made in China." Don't waste your time or money.
