I bought one of those last spring.
It has a couple problems.

First, what it describes as Heavy Duty plastic, well, not so much. The plastic on mine is now (after being set up a year) stretching a bit and I think the UV light is starting to take it’s toll.

Second, DO NOT put weighty items on the top shelf. I had a couple bottles of fish fertilizer and Round up, that kind of stuff on the top shelves and the thing is now leaning a bit.

Besides for that, it’s pretty good! I can still use it as a greenhouse, I just moved the heavier stuff to the bottom shelf. It is easy to assemble. If I need to, I can add some 1X1’s to sturdy it up.

But I think long term, the plastic simply won’t last which is a darn shame, because the zipper setup is very nice!

I have put the little greenhouse together in my house. It's exactly the size I need that will still hold gobs of seeds.
I'll use Johnny's method of planting seed in paper cups.

After time, if the plastic cover begins to have a problem, I have plenty of clear strong tape to repair it.
