Tools and Hardware Reviews of The Rumford Gardener GH7500 Portable Greenhouse
Customer Review: Good for plants, but not too sturdy
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had a great time starting a bunch of seeds in the house during the cold months. As soon as it was time to set outside to harden the plants I did and then a LIGHT wind came by and toppled it over. That killed over half of my plants! Either by snapping them in half or crushing them.
I picked up the pieces and tried it again but had my wrought iron lawn chairs holding it in place in the corner of my deck. I thought that would surely hold it. Well, a gust of wind came by and virtually picked it up and tossed it again to the ground. I lost ALL my plants this time. All that time and effort lost in a few short moments.
This product is a good idea and the seeds come up really quickly indoors, but the plastic cover on it is what made it fall over and the wind to pick it up. I think the manufacturers should have put some holes in the plastic for wind to go through ~ like a banner has. Next year I'll either tie it down with either bungee cord or a heavy rope, cut holes in it myself or just forget the whole thing.Customer Review: Great for the price

This is the perfect greenhouse for indoor seed starting. It is not the most sturdy thing on the market but what do you expect for the money? I hung a light inside and my seeds are sprouting nicely. It comes disassembled so when you put it together be sure to hammer the poles into the holes they go in. This makes it more sturdy and it won't fall apart if you move it. Overall I'm very pleased considering it was so inexpensive.Customer Review: Great solution
Summary: 5 Stars
This mini-greenhouse was simple to put together, and holds a number of smaller plants. We used to bring all the container plants inside for the winter but now can house them outside in this greenhouse. The plastic is very thin, so I imagine it can rip or tear easily, although we have been careful and have had no issues. It is very lightweight, so as others have said, you should have something heavy in the bottom of it to keep the wind from pushing it over. Otherwise, we highly recommend this item.Customer Review: Is What It Is for The Price

This product is a great example of getting what you pay for; basically, for the price, this isn't a bad little greenhouse kit. Like others who left reviews, I had some trouble getting the bars to stay in place. I recommend using a pair of pliers to shape the ends of the bars during assembly. Adding a slight oval shape to the bars helped them to stay in place. Some of the bars need to be rounded better so they go into place without breaking the plastic connectors. The clear cover on mine arrived with a five inch split in it. This was easily repaired with duct tape. The cover does not extend all the way to the base of the greenhouse; it leaves about an eight inch gap (which might be considered "ventilation." The shelves are not sturdy enough to hold much weight, but they can be reinforced by connecting bailing wire from the top of the assembly. For the price, the need to apply a little inventive engineering to the kit's short-comings still makes this a decent deal (especially for the home gardeners on a tight budget).Customer Review: Its not comming

I ordered this over a month ago. It was supposed to ship by now but still hasn't. Now the ship date has been delayed another month! Has the company gone out of business? Is there such a demand for this product that they can't keep up with production? Or do they not care about customer satisfaction? I don't know since they have not given any reason for the delay! All I know is I ordered this anticipating to use it this spring, thats not going to happen!
