Lots and lots of PIECES .. but once the small items are put together it was easily done. Such a nice way to start your garden Let me tell you the heat was intense once the plastic was in place. The door has a nice roll up feature that allows you to keep it open and allow some ventilation if you need it.

This greenhouse was a challenge to assemble because all of the parts were not labeled and the instructions were only hard to follow illustrations. This greenhouse is on the smaller side with a very light weight frame. The shelving racks are flimsy and cannot support a lot of items or even a few items if they even weigh slightly over about 8 pounds. I selected the clear material and it is very transparent. The material itself is not heavy duty so i am concerned about the longevity of it. The fabric has to be tied to the metal frame to be secured. I would recommend this greenhouse with caution. It will need to be heavily reinforced to protect the integrity of it.

This has a sturdy metal frame and the size is good for small spaces. Four spacious shelves can hold seedlings, herbs, veggies with ease. Assembly was simple, and zippered door keeps plants secure. Great value!
