I give this a total of 4.5 out of 5. I agree with other reviews of this not being a "long term" greenhouse but that being said, if I had the money to pay for something that is going to last 20+years, I would have either built it myself or paid the extra money. That being said, I feel this will at least give me 5 years of pre-spring growing if not more outside of maybe replacing the grow lights. I don't agree with a lot of the reviews here. Since I read them before hand, I would like to comment on a few of them. First off, I plugged in the lights expecting a certain order and found, they worked fine regardless of which order I had them in(outside of the obvious top panel). There are pins that need to be lined up and a plastic "nub" to line them up properly(look at photo). I feel like some people recklessly jammed these connections together then obviously had issues with them working(not saying that is what happened!!!Just a guess!!). The frame itself is pretty solid. I don't notice any wobble or lean and feel safe putting not just seed trays on it but also supplies like water bottles, fert bottles and extra supplies. I had noticed a comment on the plastic smelling like a pool inflatable and want to add, yes it does but, I prefer it to smell that way right now because I know its "NEW". As far as tears in the cover, again, I received a pretty solid product for what I paid for. I can see if you are reckless opening and closing the zipper, you are going to have issues. I personally am in no rush to get to or away from my plants myself so I see no issue for myself with the cover. It was more than big enough to put on the frame(I didn't need to stretch or pull on it) and yet it is still snug on the frame as it should be. I did not find the magnets for the lights weak. They held the light bars up no problem but, I'm guessing as safe measure, the company provided extra zipties for those who did have that problem. I loosely tied just one on each light in case they fell but feel that that was a pointless step for me. I found the magnets worked just fine. All in all I think this is a 4.5 for cost, ease of build and I'm going ahead now to say it fills all of my check lists. My review loses the half point for the one and only reason of the light bars seem quite fragile or flimsy. I do expect to be replacing them within months but, maybe I won't. I bought this specifically for the greenhouse, the lights were a bonus. I can buy what I need later in that regard if I need too. Outside of that, this is a fantastic bang for your buck. I am really happy with this purchase and I recommend this product to others
