Excellent shed!
Used it to house my 10000 W Generac portable generator. It fits perfectly, is plastic, so it will last forever, and is easy to put together! Of course, when running a generator inside one of these sheds, you MUST keep the doors of the shed OPEN, so the unit doesn't overheat (and so you don't die of CO2 poisoning)!. In any case, it is a REALLY nice shed, and tall enough for most people to walk right in, and not worry about hitting your head. In addition, there appears to be more than enough clearance, so that when I am running the generator (with the shed doors open), it will not overheat. Looks like you can put some small hooks in there, to hold things in, but I have not yet tried this.Nice shed, nice price on Amazon = get it!!

Good shed, though not sure worth $449
This is a decent shed. It's under a deck, so it's only partially exposed to the elements, but it seems to keep water out and has held together well after a month. The walls are plastic, but are held together by screws, not just by piecing together the plastic pieces. The doors stick a bit. Not sure if this is a design issue or if it's because the surface isn't perfectly flat. (We have it sitting on a slab made up of a few flat stones.)Contrary to other reviewers, you can install shelves. You have to buy and cut the wood separately, but the instruction manual provides good instruction on how to do this. The shelves install easily and haven't fallen down. Overall, it took a little over an hour to put together.We chose our delivery date and time, and it arrived on time. The delivery guys even knew to deliver to the back of our house rather than the front door.Overall, a good product, though $350-$400 would be a more reasonable price, I think.

Good size, poor construction.
Arrived quickly, with all parts, and was very easy to assemble (I did it alone, but some might need a second person to attach the roof).Although its a good sized shed, (especially for the price), there is a major downside which I didn't think about until I began filling it with items. Since its resin/plastic, its not very strong. Inside the shed, I leaned several metal folding chairs against one of the walls (about 3 or 4, nothing drastic). The next morning the wall, and corresponding door hinge became bent from all of the weight. I've been unable to fix it/bend it back; but at least the door still closes.Therefore, (and this is the reason I rate it only 1 star), is that given its overall lack of strength, its a lot less useful to me. As others have reviewed, you can't really take advantage of the height by installing shelves, etc, but you also cant have too many items leaning against any of the walls (shovels, tools, etc). I suppose if you are using it for a bunch of light weight pool toys or rafts it would be good, but by no means is this a proper outdoor storage shed. Lesson learned on my end!

Good build quality but not very useful
The shed is well built and assembly is relatively straight forward - it took me less than 2 hours to put it together. My biggest complain is that there is no mounting bracket or hooker that go with this shed!! It's a pretty tall shed, 7-8 feet inside, yet you can't hang anything off those wide, open, tall walls. How stupic a design is it!I called the Suncast customer service and lady who answered the call was nice enough but she confirmed that you can NOT add any bracket, shelves or hookers to the walls, and the only thing you can do - if you want to organize which I assume everyone does - is to add the free-standing shelf rack inside.By the way, the Amazon site is also misleading by recommending the mounting brackets and the hookers when you select this shed.I would not recommend this at all.

Great Product...But Here are a Few Suggestions for Assembly Not Obvious in Instructions
I am giving this five stars since it is an awesome and really nice looking shed. Very solid construction and all parts were there and fit fine. But here are a few suggestions in addition to those from others.One thing to make sure of before you start assembling the shed is that you have plenty of clearance around the sides. To get the tabs for the walls to fit into the floor, you need to lean the walls outward quite a way to get them to engage into the floor. I had made a nice level spot next to another shed, but had to wrestle the floor to one side temporarily to put in the right walls.Secondly, the first pieces to put in are a real pain(right back corner)...it definitely would be nice to have two people for that since there is a flap on the left side of the right rear side panel that has to be **bent** as you push it together with the back right panel. The fact that it needed to be bent was not obvious to me from the instructions and it took me about 15 minutes to figure it out and then I needed to put a ladder behind the back panel to support it without having another person. Once this first corner is in place, the rest is very simple and went very quickly.As pointed out by others, make sure you have a level place for the unit. I put it directly on sold soil after leveling it and it seems OK.

Battle of the bulge!
Not to happy with it as sides buldge out off the hinges; but then what did I expect, it is made from plastic. If I were to buy other sheds, I would go with metal or wood materials.
