4.0 out of 5 stars Minor Assembly Required, March 3, 2009

By	Ana Mardoll (United States) - See all my reviews

Greenhouse Four-Tier Mini / B000NCTGQE

I bought this greenhouse to start seedlings in the house before transplanting them outside for spring, and also to host a little herb garden in the kitchen area.

Firstly, the measurements listed here are accurate. This is a very large unit, of respectable quality, and very affordable. I have yet to find another unit this size and quality online or in catalogues that doesn't cost twice this much. In fact, this same greenhouse is selling in some places for double this price, plus shipping, so Amazon has quite the bargain here.

Secondly, the greenhouse is incredibly easy to put together. We had it out of the box and set up in less than half an hour, with no onerous tools required. The shelves are a thin metal lattice, to let sunlight filter down to the bottom levels, but the metal is strong and feels very sturdy. The cover has enough lee-way to slip on and off easily, as well as ties to hold it in place, and extends well to the ground, to act as a barrier to curious house cats and naughty puppies.

However, and here's where I docked a star, some extra assembly is really erquired here. The shelves don't attach into place - they lay on top of the shelving bars, and it is absurdly easy to unbalance a shelf such that the shelf tips over and drops all your plants on the ground, spilling dirt and seeds everywhere. I had this happen and was not too amused. Don't let this put you off your purchase, though, as there is a simple solution: Buy some cheap cable ties (there are some on Amazon, even!) and use them to cinch the shelves in place. I used 6 ties per shelf (one in each corner and two in the middle) and the shelves are now completely sturdy and will never shift or move on me. And the cable ties are easy to cut, if you ever need to disassemble your greenhouse during a move.

So, bottom line, definitely buy this greenhouse for the bargain that it is and enjoy it immensely, as I am mine, but do remember to buy the cable ties (or something similar) to ensure that your pots won't fall and break.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for the price., November 2, 2008

By	Paul Pocavich (Palmyra, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This greenouse goes together in about 10 minutes with no tools as the descriptions says. It's not the sturdiest frame but it should support small plants like those pictured. I added my own wire ties between the shelves and frame to stiffen it up a bit. I don't know what the "fleece cover" business was about in the description because it comes with a clear plastic cover with a zippered door which should last several years. I will need to anchor it some way to keep it from blowing over in the wind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent mini-greenhouse, does what it says and good value for money, May 6, 2009

By	MaryH - See all my reviews

Bought this as part of gifts for Mothers Day to my Mom who is an avid gardener and always wanted a greenhouse for her plants. The full sized ones take too much space but this is nice and compact but large enough for her needs.

Very easy to assemble in 15 minutes without tools and used some cable ties to secure the shelves to the frame. Put it outside in a protected patio with some sun to harden plants. The temperature is about 4-8 F higher in the greenhouse than outside.

Overall, does what is says and good value for money.
