Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for attentive plant care on a small scale, this mini greenhouse from Astonica provides both flexible space and easy access. The house is made from metal tubing and PVC support pieces for a light but stable construction that can be moved by a solo gardener. Metal grates form the double shelves, allowing for clear visibility, thorough drainage, and simple cleaning. Because the shelves are removable, you also have the option of nurturing a single shelf of tall plants or setting the structure over a new garden crop. The house includes a clear vinyl cover with reinforced seams and a zippered flap. Ribbon ties keep the cover securely in place, and the double-zipper opening allows for easy access. Finished in a rust-resistant powder coat, the greenhouse measures 27 by 19 by 36 inches. The lowest shelf gives about 2-1/2 inches of clearance, and the cover reaches to 1-1/2 inches above the floor. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful..Better than I ever expected, December 22, 2002

Our son and daughter in law got this for us as a gift since we love starting seedlings indoors at least a few months before we transplant them, and this is a gem of a little green house that works splendid. It holds two seedling trays on each shelf, and the zipper door works like a gem and I place it near a window and away from drafts and it stays warm enough that within two weeks we had healthy seedlings up and going.

The nice thing about the two sided zipper doors is that as the seedlings grow and you want or need to reduce the heat inside you can unzip 1/4, 1/2, or the entire way the doors which allows plenty of protection but also cools the seedlings down.

And it isn't a shabby item but extremely well made and easy to assemble. And come spring when nights still get cool, you can place the whole thing outside and keep the zipper doors open all day and then zip up at night to protect from the cold.

And the price is excellent, and the item will last years and years I think, and is easy to take apart if you need to move or need to store during the summer etc. And its great for our small cottage so would be great on an apartment patio or large home back deck.

I am even considering trying it out as a solar food dryer this next summer.....

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Heavy Use, April 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Astonica 50302120 Two-Shelf Mini Greenhouse (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this last spring and was disappointed. First, it arrived with 1 shelf and one pole piece missing. It took almost 4 weeks to get replacement parts. The shelves were light and flimsy so don't count on loading lots of heavy containers on them, though very suitable for lightweight containers. Made the mistake of temporarily sitting it outdoors last fall, staking it to the ground, and the first night a thunderstorm destroyed the zippered cover. STILL haven't been able to get a replacement cover.

I ordered 2 of these last fall in order to get a head start on the 2004 seed starting season. Very simple to put together, and actually much larger than I expected; perfect in front of a large window or sliding glass door. good quality and good value for your dollar!
