Customer Reviews


Greenhouse Four-Tier Mini / B000NCTGQE
I bought this greenhouse to start seedlings in the house before transplanting them outside for spring, and also to host a little herb garden in the kitchen area.
Firstly, the measurements listed here are accurate. This is a very large unit, of respectable quality, and very affordable. I have yet to find another unit this size and quality online or in catalogs that doesn't cost twice this much. In fact, this same greenhouse is selling in some places for double this price, plus shipping, so Amazon has quite the bargain here.
Secondly, the greenhouse is incredibly easy to put together. We had it out of the box and set up in less than half an hour, with no onerous tools required. The shelves are a thin metal lattice, to let sunlight filter down to the bottom levels, but the metal is strong and feels very sturdy. The cover has enough lee-way to slip on and off easily, as well as ties to hold it in place, and extends well to the ground, to act as a barrier to curious house cats and naughty puppies.
However, and here's where I docked a star, some extra assembly is really required here. The shelves don't attach into place - they lay on top of the shelving bars, and it is absurdly easy to unbalance a shelf such that the shelf tips over and drops all your plants on the ground, spilling dirt and seeds everywhere. I had this happen and was not too amused. Don't let this put you off your purchase, though, as there is a simple solution: Buy some cheap cable ties (for example, Belkin 7.5IN Multicolored Cable Ties 52 Pieces) and use them to cinch the shelves in place. I used 6 ties per shelf (one in each corner and two in the middle) and the shelves are now completely sturdy and will never shift or move on me. And the cable ties are easy to cut, if you ever need to disassemble your greenhouse during a move.
So, bottom line, definitely buy this greenhouse for the bargain that it is and enjoy it immensely, as I am mine, but do remember to buy the cable ties (or something similar) to ensure that your pots won't fall and break.

I have had this for almost 2 years. So, 'A' for durability. This item is a good value for the price, but not very sturdy. Very easy to assemble, takes about 15 minutes, just like Legos. Mine has blown over with every wind over 10 mph. The air comes in at the bottom and whips around, eventually sinking the whole structure. I had to put some concrete blocks on the bottom shelf. As far as use, very dangerous for plants on autopilot. You have to check your plants every day. (not necessarily greenhouse's fault, but you should be aware) If you leave too much water in the greenhouse, everything will quickly (2 days) develop a mold, even with flaps open to vent. The top rack has no shade, so anything on top will quickly be bleached white and die. You have to get some sort of shade for the top. Finally, the zipper broke the second week. It has a great design, but one zipper came off the track, and the other side the stitching broke so there is a hole along the zipper which gets bigger every time I zip it up. So, great design, easy to assemble, good concept, but needs a lot of attention. Make sure you leave it vented and place in a shady spot for brightest part of day.
