Rubbermaid Plastic Small Outdoor Storage Shed, 53-Cubic Feet, FG5L1000SDONX

Overall, it's a good storage shed, very sturdy, good looking, and doesn't leak in the rain. It's nice and roomy. Assembly isn't too difficult if you're good at following pictograph instructions. But it's definitely a two-person job. My husband and I took half the day to put it together on a concrete slab. You'll need a ladder, especially when assembling the roof, and a power screwdriver. The only complaint is getting the doors aligned so they open and close freely. Even though we built it on a perfectly level concrete slab, it's still slightly misaligned so that we have to kick the bottom of the door to close it all the way. It's not that big of a deal to me, so I'm still giving it 5 stars overall.

The shed is well built and generally easy to put together. The walls are panels that have little nubs that you can force into grooves in the plastic bottom floor of the shed. That part is simple enough. The annoying part is that the roof is 3 pieces separate, long pieces that extend from the back of the shed to the front. While conceptually simple, the difficulty is that (assuming you are doing this by yourself and are of average height), the instructions expect you to lift a 3x6 piece of plastic over the back wall of the shed and align it into the plastic grooves along the edge of the walls of the shed, twice. (The grooves are the kind that are T-shaped, if that makes sense. Think of a male T-shaped piece of hard plastic sticking out of the wall of the shed, and a female shaped T indentation in the plastic roof, and you need to slide the two T shapes together). With the plastic bending this way and that, and with limited visibility (or balance, if you are on a ladder), the exercise of "sliding" the roof forward from behind the shed to the front gets really annoying really fast. I think they would have been better served by having the roof be a simple "push down" exercise, rather than a "slide-to-lock". There's certainly enough support for the roof within the shed (metal internal braces, internal hooks with screws, etc.). Ultimately, getting the roof on by yourself (or even with help) is a pain. Do-able, but a pain. And you need to make sure you have enough clearance behind the shed for yourself and for the roof sliding exercise you need to do. Shower Thought: Looking back at the exercise, I suggest to anyone building this shed that you actually connect the wall panels together (pushed into the floor) and then leave enough space to tip the entire shed over and slide the roof on. It'll be much easier, if you have the space for it. Separately, the doors are hard to align. Even when the shed is level, if your base is slightly not level, the doors will not level. You can solve this by either forgoing the hinge cutouts that are internally located (and just drilling the hinges in as convenient) or by forcing the shed level after-the-fact. In any case, the hinges are a potential point of weakness. They aren't "real" hinges. Just pieces of thin metal that wrap around the plastic edge of the door frame. Think of curling your fingers but not making a fist. That's the shape of the hinge (made of thin metal) wrapped around the plastic of the door. It's annoying to install because the hinges will keep falling off the door and a kid hanging on the door after it's installed may threaten the metal. Anyway, overall, it's a fine shed, and the roof (once finished) is sturdy. But there are some points that could be improved in its construction.

We were a little nervous given the mixed reviews of how putting it together would go, but it was pretty easy! Instructions were relatively clear, parts were all labeled, and took 2 of us about 2.5 hours to do, so not too bad.

I read the mixed reviews on this shed and decided id wait for it to go on sale to buy it. That was a mistake. I ordered it late November, received it in mid December. First off, this IS a two person job despite what the company states. We had such a hard time getting pieces to fit together, then when we made it to the roof, it didnt fit properly. I reached out to Rubbermaid customer support a few days after receiving this product for a replacement roof panel. After going back and forth with Rubbermaid, it took about 2 weeks, they finally sent out my new roof panel which i had to wait a few days to a week for. So 3 weeks in to owning this shed, i had a half completed product in my yard for, then when we tried to fit the new shed piece on, it still didnt fit. I ripped the shed down and filed for a refund with amazon. I thought the hard part was over. I was very very wrong. To have this shed picked up was another week and a half long experience in which i had 3 appointments with the pickup company. My first appointment for them to pick up, the driver refused to pick it up due to it not being in a box, despite my distinction in the paperwork stating it wasnt in the original package. My second appointment, they didnt even dispatch the truck that day and instead of telling me that, i waited around for the 2-3 hour window waiting for them to show up. My third appointment they finally picked up my return. Then it took another 2 weeks to get the item in amazons possession. I had bought an older model rubbermaid shed off fb marketplace for half the price and it took another hour to build. Im very happy with this shed. I guess Rubbermaid has declined in quality over the years. I have had a long term good experience with their products, but i have lost faith in the company and will be avoiding there products where possible in the future. All in all, if you still decide to give benefit of the doubt to this product and order it, please remember that if you do have issues, every step of the process is drawn out and overall a waste of time. I would go with a different company or different kind of shed all together if i could do it over again.

Looks really good very easy to install and products very good. The price IP is very reasonable. I have a good bargain.

After the assembly the shed seems to be somewhat shaky and not very stable.

He comenzado el armado de dicho producto, hasta el momento sus piezas están completas, no puedo opinar más porque, cómo ya lo dije, apenas comienzo el armado, me falta checar qué tan resistente es el material expuesto a la interperie y su color que no cambie rápido.

El armado es un poco laborioso y se necesitan de 2 a 3 personas sobretodo en el techo, pero cumple con las expectativas y es de excelente calidad

Easy installation, great product
