Disappointing experience with missing parts

I ordered a workbench for my husband, but one of the nine boxes was missing a part. When I inquired about it, I was told there was nothing they could do; scanning a box confirms the entire package. I requested to review the video footage of the packages being loaded onto the delivery truck, but they insisted there was no action they could take and seemed indifferent to my situation. Consequently, I cannot recommend purchasing from them.

Missing component.

I ordered a workbench for my partner, but one of the nine boxes was missing a part. When I inquired, they claimed there was nothing they could do since scanning a box confirms the entire package. I requested to see the video footage of the packages being loaded onto the delivery truck, but they refused and seemed indifferent about leaving me without the missing piece. Consequently, I cannot recommend their products.

Greenhouse issues.

We bought a greenhouse with polycarbonate panels around two and a half years ago. Although the instructions were somewhat unclear, we managed to assemble it, and it has held up well until now. Unfortunately, the panels have started to deteriorate, developing holes and cracks. The company has offered to replace the panels since they are still under warranty, but I question the value of a product that requires rebuilding every couple of years. If it's unable to withstand our climate, I don't see it being worthwhile long-term.

Delighted with my veggie boxes.

I absolutely love my veggie boxes! It was a delightful surprise to find some plastic garden labels and a pair of gloves included. The customer service and delivery were top-notch, making me a very happy customer.

Not the best experience.

Not the best purchase; I had to use my own screws to ensure it was water-tight. The screws and instructions were inadequate, leading to significant leaks. I spent around 1500 on both of my large sheds, and the quality of the flashings is very poor. This will be my first and last purchase.

Frustrating assembly experience.

This was the worst shed I've ever attempted to assemble; parts were missing, and the process was overly complicated. It took days to put together, and the quality was really poor.

Problems with my umbrella order.

I ordered a cantilever umbrella online and received a confirmation. Later, I was informed it was out of stock, but they found one later that day. However, the product that arrived was not what I expected; it came with a different black canopy and was scratched. They assumed I would assemble this cheaper version without any explanation. The support team has resisted processing a full refund for the return. I'm very disappointed, as their emails promise assistance but have yet to resolve the issue. Now, I’m seeking advice on how to return the product at their expense for a full refund.

Avoid these sheds.

I wouldn't recommend these sheds. Ours rusted completely within two years. When we raised the issue, they claimed our proximity to the sea was the problem. We are just one kilometer from a coastal inlet with no significant waves, which is common in the area.

Poor assembly instructions.

There were no clear instructions for assembly, leading to multiple redo attempts. The structure is flimsy and has fully collapsed in the wind. If one panel pops out, you have to partially dismantle the entire unit to fix it. A waste of $10,000.

Challenging assembly with no support.

I bought a small shed for our garden, believing it would be easy to assemble. That was not the case. A local handyman refused to help after previously assembling one and said he would never do it again. I wish I had consulted him before making the purchase! The assembly instructions were unclear, and a pop rivet gun was required—how many people have that on hand? I had to use extra bolts and screws to make it stable. The company provided no assistance in response to our inquiries. It took us two full days to finish once we borrowed the pop rivet gun and learned to use it.
