Its only just been put up, so not sure what it will be like in the long term. Initial thoughts - it looks nice. But one piece of toughened glass disintegrated just by picking it up. So that will be an additional cost. We have a concrete base but the instructions said to build the greenhouse frame on wood (an additional cost) - and that seems weird because wood rots and the aluminium should last for years. So not too happy about that. But we did follow the instructions word for word and so its on concrete with wood around the base. We will have to Cuprinol the treated wood in green now to match the greenhouse, so that's another additional cost. Don't really like having to step over into the greenhouse rather than having it flush to the ground but we did know that was an issue before, however it was the only 12x6 greenhouse in our price range.
