Keter Factor 6x3 Outdoor Storage Shed Kit-Perfect to Store Patio Furniture, Garden Tools Bike Accessories, Beach Chairs and Push Lawn Mower, Taupe & Brown

This is a plastic shed. Two people are needed to put it together. It took a couple of hours to assemble it. We prepared a shed foundation so the shed wouldn't sit on the uneven grass. Making the shed foundation took the longest but it made a great base for the shed. I would not recommend it for an open windy area as it doesn't seem as sturdy as a metal one. I do not understand all the negative reviews about the difficult instructions. I am not an engineer and it took me and my son 2 hours to assemble it. Yes you need to pay attention to details and move it and jimmy some parts...If you can't handle that you should not assemble anything and instead pay someone to do it. The hardest part for us was getting the roof panels to fit because one had a slight bent. We used our brains and tools and patience and it worked great. Again, I do not understand the amount of negative reviews. This is a great shed for a small area. It fits all of our backyard stuff including a big lawnmower, trimmer, blower, etc...It looks great in the backyard. I would definitely recommend it

They said that you need 2 people to assemble it. I did it by myself. The instructions are very good. The only tool that I needed that they didn't mention is a Putty Knife. I used a plastic one with a 1-inch blade to help wedge some of the parts into the slots. All the parts fit well - nice and tight. So a plastic bladed knife is very helpful. They suggest a rubber mallet to bang the parts together - I never needed it. All the parts are clearly identified; the larger ones have the part numbers molded in. The smaller ones have stickers that are very easy to remove. One thing I did not like - a few of the parts had paper stickers on them which were apparently added by someone else. KETER, If you are listening, please stop doing this. There are about 3 stickers that won't come off without tearing and they require solvent to remove. (The polypropylene is highly chemical resistant). These were obviously added late in the manufacturing/packaging process, and you should stop. The stickers are not necessary; the instructions were fine without them. About the DESIGN: I am a retired mechanical engineer and I really admire the detail design that went into this product. Very clever the way everything fir together in a manner that channels the rainwater to the outside of the structure. Also, good design of the door locking structure. This is a great product and if I had room, I would buy it again.

First and foremost, the shed is not 6x3. It it larger than that. I know because I have a floor of pavers I put in for the previous shed. It was a little more than 5' long, so I used 6x3 12" concrete pavers. I'm a little annoyed and hope this won't impact the lifespan of the shed. The shed isn't easy to put together. It's not terribly difficult but it does require some finesse because of the bent up plastic. It can be done by one person, but it's easier for two. This is *the* shed if you need storage for a couple of bicycles. (The previous shed was cramped for one bike, a game of Tetris for two and would not fit an e-bike.) I'm thinking of putting in a grommet so I can occasionally run an extension cord to put a dehumidifier out there if it gets muggy.

This product is a nightmare to assemble. I'm an experienced engineer and have designed and built lots of things, but this shed was a challenge for me to build. The parts are too closely toleranced to easily fit together in a backyard environment. To build it according to the instructions, you must have an absolutely flat surface and all parts need to be at a mild, constant temperature. Otherwise, things will not fit together and you'll go crazy trying to get everything alligned. It's cleverly designed, but whoever was responsible for this abortion, clearly never actually tried building one in a realistic, user's environment. Once together, it's a nice shed, but the plastic parts will not tolerate any more than the gentlest nudge in assembly or you'll break off edges and corners. The plastic threaded fasteners work, but there is no finger room to get a grip on them, without stripping your cuticles down to the bone. Resist the urge to use a pliers , or you'll break the fasteners - forget about finding replacements in the hardware store. Them Chinese designers need a course in ergonomics. My advice is to avoid this one, or if you have a need for comic relief, pay for professional assembly and see if the pros can put it together without wrecking it.

I was able to assemble this mostly by myself. My neighbor did help me hold one piece in place. I would say it took around 8 hours for me to complete it over the course of three days. But, I don't build things very regularly, so it would probably not take that long for someone with more experience. I did have to take breaks to go buy a rubber mallet — an absolute must! — and a cordless drill. I've always muscled through with just regular screwdrivers before on these types of projects, but I would have never gotten there without the drill. In the process of getting it to fit together, I did crack the corner of one side, which I'll be fixing with some caulk. Some pieces were bent, which required some coaxing them back into a shape with pliers that would allow for fitting together. The directions are all pictorial, but they were pretty decent. I did struggle a lot with understanding how to get the doors together, though. That particular section could have used some verbal explanation on what to do. I ended up assembling one side incorrectly, which means I now have a couple extra small holes in the door. It also came missing one door handle, and I've put in a request to Keter to get a new one. The delivery process was probably the worst part of this product. When I ordered the shed, I indicated it was OK to just leave it in the front of the house. Instead, I kept getting emails from Ceva, the contracted delivery provider, with broken links asking me to indicate a time for delivery. Every single one led to a 404 page not found error. After three days of that, I got a new email that asked me to indicate my delivery time — for the day the email was sent, with no other options. And... I only got to that information after 30 minutes trying to get the pages on the website to load. They would quit at different stages of the process of entering my information. I finally gave up on the route I was supposed to go and tried working through my tracking number. But that also didn't work. I did finally get the reschedule delivery page to load, but it only offered one possible day, which was a day I couldn't do (you have to commit to being there between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.), and would not load any weeks beyond the week being shown. After a couple of failed page load attempts, I did get to the contact us form and got it to work. I sent a message asking about what I should do about the delivery since I couldn't get a reschedule option. The reply I got back was that they were canceling my order. I contacted Amazon Customer Service, and they were really great. The team member I reached, Hormuz, called the delivery service and got us on a three-way call. Unfortunately, I think Ceva's customer service person was on a cell, so she popped out a lot. But we did work out a day for them to deliver — a Wednesday — where I could be at the house from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to sign for it. (Again, I had originally indicated I was OK with them just dropping it off when I ordered the product.) After that, I got an email from another person at Ceva, who did a non-apology apology. I confirmed that we were on track for a Wednesday delivery between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.. The shed came the Friday before that scheduled Wednesday at 7:15 a.m. The guy didn't ask me to sign for anything. But, I did eventually get the shed. All in all, I got what I paid for, I'd say. It's not the greatest, but I didn't pay for the greatest, either.

I am very pleased with this shed so far. Obviously time will tell how it holds up in the California sun, but I don't foresee any major issues from what I've observed after assembly. The package arrived in perfect condition with no damage to the parts. Everything was well labeled and the instructions were easy to follow. It took two people 2 hours and we did not run into any major snags that weren't quickly rectified. If you have experience with Ikea furniture this should be familiar and easy to follow. You are working with plastic that has the ability to bend and warp out of place, but it can also bend and warp back into place. Once you understand how the seams overlap it becomes obvious how to fit it all together and how you can manipulate it so everything lines up. I am going to cover the floor with a 3/4" stall mat for a little more durability as it feels like it could develop some indentations over time from the yard equipment or other things sitting on it in one place, but that was my plan for any shed that I had planned to purchase to make the floor last longer. It will also be anchored to the concrete slab it's sitting on as we do experience some high winds in my area and I feel that is something to not be ignored with a shed that is this lightweight when empty. Its overall size and physical appearance is fantastic. I'm 6' tall and I do not have to duck when stepping inside, which was a major requirement when I was comparing sheds. It feels spacious inside with the vaulted ceiling and there are no support bars in the way to hit your head on or take up valuable vertical space. I have an EGO brand lawnmower that folds up compactly into a vertical position that sits perfectly into the back right corner along with an EGO line trimmer and its edger attachment. It will also still fit with all four wheels on the ground from the back wall to the doors with the handle collapsed and folded and bag removed. If your mower doesn't have the ability to at least do that you may need a bigger shed depending on what else you want to store in it. I think this is a great shed for the price and I'm pretty sure you will too!

Easy enough to assemble. Keeps everything inside dry and has stood up in some pretty fierce winds/storms/hale. Think I bought the shed two years ago and the sides still look new.

Showed up late and broken I ordered this shed just for some extra storage on my property. The delivery company didn’t show up when they were suppose to and when I called to find out where they were they then notified me it would be another 2 hours for delivery, so if you order this item plan to wait all day for delivery and don't expect them to call you. The box showed up severly damaged with both ends almost all the way opened and holes everywhere, but I only had a helper to put it together for 1 day so I had to give it a shot at building it. Also, I could at least see that the directions were still there through one of the holes on top. All if the parts were there, but it was very clear after opening the box they had shipped me one that someone else had returned. After pulling everything out there were quite a few pieces that were cracked or had a piece broken off. Knowing the hassle I would have to go through to get new pieces or a new shed I decided to super glue what I could and build the shed anyways. Took about 2 hours with 2 people, but overall if I had a choice I wouldn’t have purchased this shed. It ‘s a very cheap and flimsy plastic shes that I feel is way over priced and i don’t see it holding up long. Also the lock isn’t secure. I would suggest buying a bike lock or something to keep it more secure as I could see someone being able to break into it very easily.

Llegaron partes rotas y no tienen repuestos

Pesimo el envío, mi esposo tuvo que ayudar a bajar la caja, porque sólo venía un chico para traerla, venía la caja super maltratada, Llego una pieza rota, y la respuesta del proveedor es, si no genera mayor problema, por el precio se me hizo pésima la atención

Las piezas se encuentran abolladas e inservibles para el ensamble del artículo. Pésimo ensamble del cual, las piezas no embonan y es necesario hacer adecuaciones
