Excellent for green veggies/herbs (indoor or outdoor).
Sorry for the delay in writing this review but I wanted to test the durability of this product.The greenhouse is used to grow green vegetables and herbs(no flowers).This version is far superior:1. The plastic covering is much longer and covers the entire unit with about 1/2 inch beyond. This is good because it helps insulate better and stops insects from getting into the bottom.2. There is a support bracket that connects to the two upside-down "V" rods. This makes it much sturdier on the top and allows for better sloping for rain water.3. The tie-up rope for the middle plastic is a lifesaver.4. Also, you can remove the shelves to allow both short and tall plants to grow inside.I have two versions of this greenhouse the first one was purchased from a department store.I switched the other brand to inside my house on the front porch. This model is outside and has taken a beating from triple digit heat and constant afternoon rains. Also, I also want a small greenhouse to start and extend my season for growing veggies. I'm sure this will last through my winter so we will have small veggies all year-around plus I can move it inside if needed.

Fine for the price
Like the title says, this piece is fine for the price. As long as you go into it not expecting to get great quality at rock bottom prices, you should be fine. It is serviceable. The quality is fairly low, but it is what it says it is -- and to its credit, this thing is still on my back porch in 2025, so despite its build quality, it will last a while -- and I have done NOTHING to help this poor greenhouse/shelving unit over its lifetime.

Super easy to put together but when I was almost ...
I ordered this to harden off my seedlings outdoors before planting in the garden. I was so excited when it came. Super easy to put together but when I was almost done, I noticed it was missing a piece. The crossbar for the very top. Not really a huge deal for me since it all still went together fine. Then went to put the wire shelves on and they didn't really lay flat on the bars. Again, not a big deal because the weight of the plants should level them out. As soon as I got it set up outside though, I noticed that it's not very sturdy at all. I had it placed directly on the ground (not on something hard like concrete or wood) so maybe that was part of it....? I went out to check on my plants the next day and open them up for fresh air, and the whole setup was slightly twisted to the side and in a lean ready to fall over!I love the size, the simplicity of setup and as a greenhouse, it worked great! Maybe if you are keeping it on something like a solid porch, it might be more stable, but for me, even at this price, I had higher hopes for the overall design.

Not sturdily constructed.
I've had this greenhouse up for about 6 weeks, moving cactuses in and out as necessary in my climate. I have always made an effort to put the lighter pots on top and not to overload the shelves with heavy plants. Yet when I came home today, the greenhouse had collapsed under its own weight, and thousands of dollars worth of cactuses and pottery was put at risk. I was lucky that its collapse was halted by a retaining wall, or there would have been a great deal more damage. I'll have to find some other way of keeping my cactuses dry next winter. And I was just about to start this spring's crop of cactus seedlings in it! Very disappointing.

Came exactly as advertised and is quality I would expect for the price
This came exactly as advertised and is quality I would expect for the price. It is lightweight and not meant to hold heavy pots, but is perfect for seed starting. Because it is so lightweight I do not expect it to withstand a florida thunderstorm, so I will secure it to the deck. Also, I will use zip ties to better secure the shelves to the metal poles they sit on. The cover is actually good quality and I think it will hold up for a long time. All in all I am very happy with this purchase!If anything changes I will update my review.

It’s like the leaning tower no matter what
The stand holds a lot and is great for the money, but has a hard time staying upright even with the lighter stuff up top and placed towards the back. It almost needs a wall tether like some dressers? It’s really an odd thing for a shelving unit/greenhouse. It’s just cheap. You get what you pay for. It’s a temporary unit and great for what I’m using it for. Just be prepared to watch your kids around it and placement of plants. The outer cover is holding up well though unlike other reviewers have stated. I did have to get a light though for indoor use.

Lightweight, Wobbly Frame, Remedied by a Mounting Wire and Anchor (Sold Seperately)
The mini greenhouse has lasted its first season and is still in decent condition.[Edit: It has now lasted through the winter and well into a second season. Although I have not used it much this season, the frame remains in place with no significant signs of additional wear.]It is very light weight and not very sturdy, which required mounting to a wall with a wire (sold separately) circled around the top-center beam. There is some wear to the plastic, but it still maintained a decent humidity level that helped my plants grow over the summer.[Edit: The wall mount wire (sold seperately) broke some in the post-season, prior to removing the plastic cover for storage over the winter. I had some soil and a tray of water on the bottom shelf weighing down the unit. This added weight provided the needed stability for the frane to remain standing until winter. For the winter, the water was removed, along with the wire shelves and the plastic cover for storage. The frame stayed in position weighted down by the soil over the winter and remains stable well into the second season.]I expect to be able to use it for at least 1-2 more seasons.(This review is based on outdoor use. If used indoors with artificial lighting, on a covered porch, or in a sunroom, the product would be in better condition and last longer.)
