Does anyone have a keter garden shed? Are they worth the money?

I've got the half height storage. It's good quality and waterproof. I have kept garden stuff such as lawn mower and other garden electricals. hand tools, plant food, bird food etc and it has all kept well with no problems.

Not a full size shed but seeing as you have no other answers this may help.
I've got this

Advantages: never need painting. Mice can’t get in.
Disadvantages : you can’t fix shelves to the walls, have to get freestanding ones. You have to be careful about large or heavy stuff leaning against the walls. And be extra careful that ladders or similar heavy stuff can’t fall against a wall. The doors are light so tend to bang backwards when opened.

Given the choice again I’d go for traditional wood but this was quicker to get delivered in lockdown.

We’ve got one and wouldn’t have another one, it doesn’t need repainting like wood but in every other respect it’s worse.

I've got one. It's about 15 years old so it's done ok. But the door hinges broke a few years back and the lid hinges also broken so it can't be lifted.
Some of the issues with mine are due to garden chairs leaning against the side which caused it to bow out. Mice have got in mine but then the doors are dodgy and mice are able to squeeze almost anywhere it seems.
It hasn't put me off, ours still functions as it's not used daily. I use stacking crates inside to get over the not being able to have shelves part.
I've since bought the keter storage bench which is great, no need to keep up wood treatment, unlike my other bench. Can store a surprising amount and is relatively comfy to sit for my morning coffee.

We have one of these which took DC and I an afternoon to build. It's been up about 5 years and I would definitely recommend.
I think we got it during Amazon prime event?
You will need freestanding shelves, but they are quite cheap to get. We've managed to stash a lot in ours!

Oh, I was fully expecting everyone to say, 'it's amazing, worth every penny'. Disappointing to hear people wouldn't recommend them. The one I was looking at is £1500 which I think is a ridiculous price for a shed but was willing to pay it had the reviews justified the cost.

Can't go for wood as wont be able to access the back or one side to maintain it. Read that metal ones are flimsy, leak and are generally a waste of money, so... I'm at a loss as to what to go for now. I need a decent sized one, minimum 10 x 10, it's to store the lawnmower, stimmer, gardening tools, outdoor furniture cushions, 2 kids bikes and garden toys.

Any recommendations welcome.

Thanks @Supergluerules I was looking at this one - www.keter.com/en-gb/sheds/large-sheds/newton-shed-7.5x11ft-brown-255639.html

Can't get over the price though 👀
