Iain, Snowdonia

Score 9.0/10

+ This is a very useful product, especially for small gardens with little space. It's simple and quick to assemble, and will hold a lot of plants. This product is very useful in Spring, for protecting vegetable seedlings prior to planting them out after the frosts have passed.

- In windy weather this mini-greenhouse tends to sway a lot, and is not especially stable. The PVC cover is very thin - thinner than that on similar products from other manufacturers - and is liable to tear quite easily.

+ The greenhouse didn't take long to put together and I was pleased with the price.

- I bought 2 at the same time and on one of them the plastic cover has come away from the seam, I did expect them to last a little longer than they have done.

Vicki, Coventry

Score 7.0/10

+ This greenhouse was very very easy to assemble. The frame itself is much sturdier than it looks. The shelves fit really well and hold 2 fairly sizable trays of plants with no problem.

- My only whinge about it in fact is the quality of the glue (not) holding the zip to the plastic cover. It came away almost immediately - the second night I shut it in fact. However my trusty duct tape came to the rescue

+ A SMALL COMPACT GREENHOUSE

- DESPITE THE GOOD PRICE IT'S FAR TOO FLIMSY AND WOBBLY. A SLIGHT GUST OF WIND BLEW IT OVER SEVERAL TIMES DAMAGING THE COVER. WE HAVE HAD TO TIE IT TO THE WALL AND PUT BRICKS ON THE BOTTOM SHELF BUT IT'S STILL NOT SAFE.

Score 8.0/10

+ Easy to assemble and fits into a small space

- When used on a hard standing it requires some weight at the bottom to prevent it from blowing over. The stitching attaching the zip to the plastic is to close to the edge of the plastic and has burst in a couple of places, apart from that it is fine.
