Very Sturdy
I bought a 3 bay log store from this company a few weeks ago I was so pleased with it I bought this 2 bay model to sit alongside it. Extremely pleased with them both. Very sturdy and well made.

Solid construction, easy assembly
Good value and easy to put together, as it doesn't come with written instructions you have to use the internet but they are clear and well illustrated. Solid construction, but useful to have some spare 65mm construction screws available as spares, I had two missing from the kit, and a drill/powered screwdriver as there's "a lot" of screwing to do. It doesn't quite take a full m3 of wood stacked as two layers. This loses a star as the courier was useless, not only was it delivered a week before the planned date but it was abandoned on the driveway without even ringing the doorbell, my advice to the supplier, "use a better delivery company".

Just the ticket but need to sort out the delivery hiccup
I spent a lot of time surfing and researching for a suitable log store. this was neither the cheapest or dearest. We had problems with the delivery, the original email advised one day and then another email was sent advising the next day. I provided instructions of weber to leave the delivery but in the end waited all day but it didn't arrive. I chased the next day by Amazon delivery email but no reply so rang the suppliers to be advised the courier had trouble find the house, no-one else has had the problem in the previous 16 years!! However I provided further directions and it final arrived at the end of the following day. Once stripped down to the parts all parts are there. Note the Build instructions are provided by supplier email not with the store. it took me about 1 ½ hours to put together my self. i would suggest it would be a bit easier with 2 simply for someone to hold the various panels and posts as they are screwed together. There are 12 long screws and 28 shorter screws to fit it all together. I had a screw head on a electric drill which was most helpful. If you are having to screw 40 screws into wood by hand I would imagine it is quite tiring. It has fitted together nicely and looks just the job and I have no hesitation recommending it or the company/

Good design, the right size and robust.
The wood store is just the right size for my garden and the quantity of logs I store for winter.It was delivered in four easy-to handle packages that were well protected by plastic wrapping.The assembly instructions were easy to follow and accurate. Pilot holes had been drilled and all the parts fitted well together. The resultant store is strong and stable. The design is very good, protecting logs from heavy rain, but allowing natural ventilation for drying.There were colour variations in the wood, so I felt it necessary to apply a cost of Country Oak preservative to make it uniform.It looks like the wood store will last for several years. However, I feel the initial cost of almost £200 with delivery, plus the need for self assembly and painting is a little high. Hence four rather than five stars.

Solid and well built
Excellent, only comment after being given a delivery date and advised that contact would be made beforehand. It arrived 6 weeks early without warning so the existing store had not had time to be removed; delivery man was accommodating in positioning where asked.

Exactly what we were after
This is a brilliant woodstore, with solid sides which we preferred to ones with open slatted sides, when we were searching. The item was delivered in several packages due to weight and was left by TNT as directed on a signed letter we left stuck on the front door. It arrived on the specified day and the assembly instructions were emailed several days before delivery. We didn't need to redrill any holes as mentioned by other reviewers, as there were pre-drilled holes for the screws, but would recommend the use of a power screwdriver as it made such easy work of what maybe have been a more labour intensive job. We built the store in the location we were going to put it, as it is really solid and heavy when built. Build time including unpacking & checking all parts took approx 30 mins. We are delighted with the woodstore and the service by the seller.

Overall the quality is very good. It would have received four stars had it arrived with:a. instructionsb. decent screwsInstructions are available online and I am assuming that this is where I was supposed to get them from. Problem is that when you are building it in a field and do not have a computer by, it can prove a little tricky so if you do buy make sure to download and print off the instructions in advance.Also, because it came with pretty pants screws I am not able to take it apart (as the screw ends wore out very quickly using a standard drill), so it will have to remain built. I strongly advise investing in some decking screws of the correct lengths and using these instead of the ones supplied.Other than that it is a good robustly build log store that was delivered in good time and I recommend.

Just what I needed.
Nice store, and just what I needed.Only four stars, because it came without instructions for assembly (although, to be fair, it wasn’t too difficult), and I was short of one screw.Despite the negative points that I’ve mentioned, I would have no hesitation in recommending this store to friends and colleagues.
