Gorgeous but more work than was marketed
The shed is gorgeous, and the company was very responsive when I gave them feedback, but the experience putting it together is not accurately described well on the website. The company should share more honest stories of customer experiences like mine, where at least 85% of my boards were warped including the starter boards. If you don't have the right tools, ratchet straps or a ton of extra clamps on hand, the project would have been even more difficult. With the experience I had putting it together, I do not think the price was worth it. It also takes a lot more money to get a good roof on and get the foundation set, so be prepared to spend more than the price of the shed.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Marissa - we truly appreciate your honesty and the time you took to provide feedback. We're glad to hear you love the look of the shed and that our team was responsive during your build. That said, we're genuinely sorry to learn about the challenges you faced during your assembly. While some degree of warping can occur with natural wood, especially if not assembled promptly after delivery, the extent you described is unusual, as we haven’t heard reports of 85% of boards being warped. We aim to provide clear guidance on how to protect the wood before and during assembly, and we are continually refining our materials and resources to ensure they meet our customers' needs. We appreciate your suggestion to share more customer stories; it’s a wonderful idea that we will work on as we improve transparency and support. We hope the shed brings you lasting joy and earns plenty of compliments—it certainly sounds like you put a lot of effort into making it work. If there's anything more we can do, we're always here to help.
