Great, but here are some recommendations!
By Torrin P. Dalcassian on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2013
I've never been so happy with a product that I purchased in my life! I'm serious, for the money I spent on this, I am incredibly satisfied with the quality! I would have paid double, and still been happy! Anyways, assembly is a breeze. You just need to fit a bunch (40 or so) metal pipes into 12 or so plastic frames. They fit right in snugly so that there's no need for tools or any parts to keep it secured. You then place the plastic cover over and zip it up. All done! A few things that could have been better: The wire mesh shelves just rest on the metal/plastic frame and are very loose. You'll need to bend them around a little bit with your hands to get them to rest more evenly. I even took some tape and taped the shelves to the frame so that it's nice and solid now. Another thing you must be careful of is the zipper. It's not exactly the best zipper out there and if you zip it downward, toward the bottom (the closed position) you risk unthreading the zipper piece from the zipper line and that's a big pain in the buns. So I just put some tape over the bottom of the zipper so it never comes apart again. The time you spend doing the aforementioned improvements is made up for my the time saved in the initial construction. I still highly recommend this product if you like to start your seedlings in the winter.

Keeps that cat out of my plants and helps them thrive in more humid conditions, I use indoors.
By Autumn Marie on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
All critiques aside, I really am glad I purchased this. I have been using it since January to house my orchids because my kitten likes to dump over my plants. I also let my grandmother house seedlings that she is starting in the lower shelves. It really helps me monitor and control my humidity and temp (using an AcuRite Humidity Monitor I also purchased on Amazon at the same time) My orchids have really been enjoying the added humidity this provides, and have sprouted tons of new arial roots! I live in Colorado so its generally pretty dry here, and this help[s me keep my orchids at around 60% humidity with daily misting. My kitten tore holes in the plastic, (sharp claws, not really a design flaw). That is not to say the plastic cover it isn't good quality. I wish it was black, as its a deep forest green and I keep mine indoors and that color matches nothing. Its does what I want it to, but its a bit pricey for how light it is and the fact that it doesn't include a way to secure/stabilize shelves. Tip: Make sure you really pound the bars into the slots when putting this together to make it as stable as possible. I also secured the shelves using zip ties, because they aren't the most stable otherwise.
