I almost gave it 3 stars due too the fact that once I unpacked it I found dents on two corner pieces, which I wasn't about to repack and send back at that point. Other than that the only other things were the instructions were vague, the time it took to put it together, I did most of it by myself (if it had been a windy day though I would have needed another pair of hands), but needed some help from my wife when it came time to attach the the hardware inside and tighten all the screws on the wall panels, and some of the holes did not match up, as well as some screws I had to replace with larger ones from my own tool box to make it work, no biggie though. I still need to put in the plywood floor and anchor it to the concrete pad I have it on, the shed is butted up to the side of the house, which if I had followed the instuctions I would have anchored the floor frame to the concrete, then attached the plywood floor, and then I would have been screwed trying to attached the rest of the roof, wall panels, and other parts since I would not be able to reach anything since it would have been butted up agaisnt the house.
Other than that it's a pretty sturdy little shed, I only wish they had made it a bit taller, at least 72" in height. As for the price and paying for shipping it was still cheaper through Amazon, than any other place I looked at. I would recommend this product, as long as you expect it will take a little work to put together.

Shed took a long time to assemble. We did it over 2 separate days, base and door 1 day and walls and roof on the second. Also spent plenty of time reviewing directions to make sure we planned well.No matter how flat the surface you're building it on or how square you make it, you're bound to have some problems here and there getting all the holes to line up, for your bolts and screws but don't despair, as it makes for a solid shed when all is said and done.
End result was a solid, sturdy shed that's not too big, not too small.

If I hadn't spent an entire weekend putting this shed together, I'd have given it a better review. I'm very happy with the final product and it's perfect for what I wanted.I read the other reviews saying the shed was hard to put together, so I was VERY CAREFUL while assembling it. I triple checked the instructions and took my time. However, there are some steps that have no clear indication of which way to put the pieces in place, and I ended up doing it upside down or something. I was able to drill holes where I needed them, but the directions really suck. It's a lot easier with two people because the pieces have to be perfectly placed to fit together correctly. When it says measure to make sure it's square, LISTEN!
After putting it together, I'm very happy with how it turned out. It fits perfectly beside our house and keeps everything dry. There is no floor to the shed, so if you are planning on putting it on soft ground you might have to lay a foundation of some type. The lock on the door is pretty pitiful, but we have a dog and it's behind a locked gate, so that was never a real concern.
Honest reviews on Arrow Shed GS83-C Garden Steel Storage Shed 8-Feet by 3-Feet
I ordered this shed, it was all bent up when I opened the box. The box appeared acceptable, so it must of been packed that way.I returned it, thank goodness for Amazon's great return procedures and got a replacement unit.
The replacement wasn't bent, but it was a mixture of colors, and the holes in Step One of the instructions weren't even close to lining up. Instead of drilling my own holes and pressing forward, I decided that if it didn't work on Step One, I would probably have more problems later in the instructions.
Needless to say, I returned it again and don't plan on giving them a third chance.
Find a different shed in my opinion.
