Gizoon Outdoor Cabinet, Waterproof Roof, Double Lockable Wooden Shed

My Wife and I purchased this Cabinet on June 30th and were advised that it would be delivered on July 10th or 11th. We were very surprised when it was delivered on July 3rd. It comes in one box and is very well packaged, but I advise that moving the box without help could be a problem for some, as it weighs 95lbs. I gave this storage cabinet 5 stars for now and will see how it holds up and do a follow up if necessary. I have only one negative to say. The instructions are very detailed but are only visual diagrams and not written. You must pay close attention to the pictures before applying screws. Each wood item is identified with a number and the hardware has letters. Each page instructs you as to which numbered item and lettered hardware go together. This was not a problem for us, but for some it may be. It just slows the pace a bit. The instructions suggest two people and although one person could assemble this, I'm recommending two as well. We found that some steps were easier lying the cabinet on its back and stood it when needed. All the panels are pre-assembled, and they have already attached the hinges for easier alignment. The only tool you will need is a Phillips head screwdriver, but I highly suggest something powered as there are a lot of screws in this cabinet. Although the wood is weatherproofed, we applied a clear polyurethane coating to help with the protection and it really made the natural wood colors stand out. I have attached pictures of some of the steps as we assembled it and the last two are after applying the Poly. I hope this review will help you make an informed decision on your purchase.

The item arrived without damage and very quickly. Finished product is functional and attractive. Item was easy to build, however, there is one issue with assembly that is of note to those who order this product. Some of the wall sections had pre-drilled holes for the screws, but did not have pre-drilled holes on the adjacent pieces to which it attached. This made it more difficult to align adjacent pieces. This was not a problem for me since I had a variety of clamps and woodworking tools to help hold parts in alignment. It would really be helpful to pre-drill the holes to help with alignment. I recommend at least having an angle clamp and 36" clamp on hand to ease assembly.

Pros: * Cost * Looks nice * Dimensions to store thing is reasonable * Easy to put together if you have strong attention to detail Cons: * Roof screws should have tar washers to keep the water proofing solid - like you would on a tar roof. Expect to buy a small tube of black silicon. * Longer beams are spliced so packaging is smaller - attributing to a bit of flex in the shape. This really only matters in moving it. * The wood the feet screw into are not pressure treated for being in weather * The labels on the bags identifying the screws fall off really easy so make sure you keep track.

This is NOT a highly robust cabinet. The wood is very light, very soft. It will suit my purposes just fine thus I have rated it high. Took me about 40 minutes to assemble by myself. I am very handy with tools. It is under an awning and will never be exposed to sun, rain or extreme temperatures. I will not be storing heavy items in it. Children won’t be playing in it. It will work for me for many years I’m sure. Understand what you are getting.

Very cheaply made. Wood extremely soft. Screws easily strip. All panels (doors, sides, back, top) are made by splicing smaller panels together so not very sturdy. End product not even close to being weather proof w/o extensive modifications. Shelves not adjustable. Instructions all pictorial, no wordage. Very large number of different sized screws used. On positive side, fairly easy to build, looks OK when done.

I recently purchased the Gizoon Outdoor Storage Cabinet, made of fir wood, expecting a durable and reliable storage solution for my outdoor needs. While the cabinet itself is generally well-constructed and aesthetically pleasing, I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the roof. The roof's poor construction significantly undermines the overall functionality and durability of the cabinet. Initially, the cabinet seemed sturdy and capable of withstanding various weather conditions. However, after about three months, the roof started to reveal its flaws. The roof began to leak and break down during moderate rainfall. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the materials used for the roof were subpar, leading to weak spots that allowed water to seep through. This not only compromised the contents of the cabinet but also posed a risk of damage to anything stored inside, which defeats the primary purpose of the storage unit. To make matters worse, the screws provided were not exterior grade, causing them to rust quickly and further weakening the structure. This oversight in using appropriate materials for outdoor use is a glaring flaw that significantly reduces the cabinet's lifespan and reliability. In conclusion, while the Gizoon Outdoor Storage Cabinet is great in terms of its main structure, the roof's poor construction and the use of non-exterior grade screws make it a weak link. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable outdoor storage solution. The company needs to address these significant flaws to provide a truly dependable product.

I am very happy with my Purchase. It requires two people to assemble. For my needs the space is more than enough. I found it to be very affordable based on the material and the size of the storage cabinet. I have it under a covered patio instead of directly in the elements, so I hope that extends the life. It smells really good if you like the smell of wood. I would certainly suggest it. One piece of advice I would give is to pay close attention. We put one of the sides on backwards and had to re do that part and put the latch on incorrectly and had to change it around.

As many have stated the material is very thin and it remains to be seen how long lasting this shed will be in northeast US weather. The assembly booklet was diagrams with numbers. Each wooden piece has a number stamped on it, the hardware bags are well identified and there were no shortages. I decided to add a layer of wood to the floor and the shelves because the very thin wood supplied did not look like it would last long once being loaded and used. One critical comment, the full length vertical pieces are actually TWO pieces that get screwed together, and the front doors are also two pieces (upper and lower) held together with hardware and wood slats. For the price it seems like a good product but we will see how it does in time in weather.
