No - master carpenters have not created this cold frame. No - it's not made of top quality materials. No - It's not heavy enough to be free standing and needs tying down/securing. No - It's not treated wood and needs a coat of Cuprinol or similar ideally. However: Yes it is good value for money at £42 + p&p Yes it is easy to put together, preferably using a small electric screwdriver. Yes it is perfect for domestic use and will protect your plants. Yes I am happy with it and will be buying another.
