great dealAntonioI put it together in the Garage for now and plan to attach it to 4 x 8 board to secure it when I take it out in the spring. I have purchase some small greenhouses in the past and this by far is the best quality. the frame is solid and the cover is superior to what I have had in the past. This should last me several years. I expect the cover to eventually deterioate The zippers may wear out but put vasiline on it so it will be easier to move. I read someone threww the whole thing away because the zipper was not funtioning properly or it broke. The frame is very solid and the door can easily be fixed. Looking foward to planr my seedlings in there.5
Zipper is garbageLiamThe zipper is a major flaw in an otherwise good product. The zipper broke within a months of use. Was able to work around it at first but now the whole thing is basically useless because the door is a zipper and it doesn’t work. IKEA does not seem to sell replacement parts parts. Was really looking forward to this product. Very disappointed. 1
Great productGustavoGreat greenhouse for the price. Quality is good, easy assembly, and has withstood the winter weather in Ottawa5
Zipper is garbage-making the whole thing uselessTerylI bought this in February, set it up in June, assembled it according to the instructions. Immediately noticed the zipper was not good quality but hoped for the best. Now it’s October, and the zipper is totally busted and the door cannot be closed. So the entire structure is useless as a greenhouse and is now garbage. I feel bad that I bought this and now will contribute a huge pile of garbage to the landfill, and wasted my time and money, right when cold weather is about to hit and I now have nowhere to keep my plants to protect them from freezing temperatures. Really upset with ikea. Why make such products when they’re just going to end up in the landfill within months? I tried contacting support and they told me they couldn’t help with replacement, and couldn’t connect me to a supervisor.
Do not buy this under any circumstances!!1
ASPAREN GREENHOUSE AnonymousThis is a very well constructed greenhouse and will serve our needs for years to come. Many people have commented on how big, sturdy and well constructed it is for the cost. There are ‘pockets around the lower edges for sand to anchor it, which is great! There will be more purchased and if they had a larger unit, we’d consider it as well. 5
Takes some effort to put together, but worth it!KarynAs soon as I unboxed this greenhouse, I knew assembly would be a bit tricky. The pressure-fit rods need to be pushed into the connectors all the way because the cover has very low tolerances in order to get a taut fit. For much of the assembly, I used a hockey puck and my body weight to push the pieces all the way in until I heard a positive contact sound. Connecting lengths together involved bear-hugging the frame into my shoulder. For the roof-top pieces, I ended up tipping the structure on to its side so I could get better leverage and ensure the pieces were snug.
That being said, all that work was totally worth it! I am so happy that I added this greenhouse to my garden. One day, I'll be able to afford a larger one, but this is so much better than the cheap aluminum and polycarbonate ones that cost big bucks and fall apart whenever the wind blows.
I just wish it was big enough for a bistro table and chair so I could have my morning coffee in there...5
