Excellent - I love my new shed! Straight forward to assemble - it took a day to put up and half a day to finish off the roof.

The delivery driver couldn't have been better as with the men who assembled it

I researched and compared different cabins before finally settling on the babylon from Tiger Sheds. I was looking to add a little extra space and wanted to take my home outside into the garden. This has been the perfect product for doing this. The gentleman who offered me advice (James) was both friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the product. I was notified at every necessary stage of the ordering and manufacturing process. Outstanding service from start to finish.

My husband & i have patiently waited for delivery of our log cabin but in the end it was well worth it..Looks very nice...He enjoyed building it but we are a bit disappointed that the inside space is 9'x5'..it's fairly small..wish we queried about it because our old shed inside space was 10'x6'.Will recommend the company as the price is reasonable.

From choosing our Log Cabin, ordering it and getting it delivered it was a sheer pleasure. The quality is second to none and the delivery date was right on schedule. We were kept informed at every step, couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Great website with a good range and value for money. Chose this cabin as the customer example image at the bottom looked amazing and I'm sure my cabin once painted will look the same. Sales staff were very helpful and I had an extra window on the other side which was not a problem and price very reasonable.

Looked at many website for an attractive, well made summerhouse - nothing came close to this in terms and quality and price. Quick, efficient service. Very happy customer!

Five stars for product and customer after care but not without problems. This is the downside. The cabin took 32 days to arrive. The roof did not fit the gable end cutouts as the roof spars were fixed in the wrong place. I rectified this by moving the spars but as they are fixed with dozens of staples this left two rows of staple holes visible in the roof both inside the cabin and outside in the porch overhang. The window catch was broken. The key was missing for the door lock. Contacting anyone in the first 25 days by phone was very difficult as no one seemed to answer. The upside. Everyone at Tiger was very friendly and helpful. Once my cabin arrived it was very easy to contact customer services by phone or email !!? The problems were sorted out very quickly and efficiently and Tiger did offer to send new gable ends but as the weather window was good I wanted to crack on with the build - up to this point the cabin was built to roof height. The cabin build was extremely easy. Better to follow the pictorial instructions rather than the written. It only took me 2 hours to get the walls and roof on and this was on my own. The roof panels are large and heavy so x 2 people would be better to lift these. The floor is already made up and I placed this on a wood bearer frame with adjustable heavy duty feet that made leveling the base so easy. I recommend this method. If your floor is not 100% level you will regret this when you come to fit the doors and windows so do make sure that it is so. The cabin dimensions provided on the website in the Floor plan are accurate and I built the floor bearer frame to these and it was spot on. I ordered the red felt tiles and these look amazing and ooze quality. So much better than a black felt sheeted roof. The instructions advise that a felt underlay is not required below the tiles but I fitted one and would again recommend this route. Felt underlay can be bought in a 3m x 1m roll for £22 from B&Q The quality of the cabin is top notch and there was no damage to the logs. These are tongue and groove so I was relieved to see that were not damaged. I pretreated the outside of the cabin walls, window and doors with Cuprinol Wood Preserver at a cost of £45 Bit pricey but worth it. This is like a very thin liquid so goes on easy. Instructions on can says allow 2 - 5 days to dry but it dried after one night. I finished off with Cuprinol paint - Country White and Mapleleaf (green) for the highlights. 2 x coats. Guttering was fitted to finish off. Overall the finished look is fantastic with the Georgian windows and doors in contrasting colours. So, in conclusion, I think it was well worth spending the money on this type pf cabin over a garden shed as it is now a feature in my garden and all my neighbours have commented on my 'posh shed'. Apart from the teething issues at the start, I would recommend Tiger Cabins for this price bracket.

Fantastic cabin. Delivered quicker than was lead to believe, the only trouble was that we had to wait 4 weeks for a dry weekend to assemble it. Started at 9.30 and was finished by 4.00pm, we sat in it having a beer. Simple to assemble you just need to be organised, sort your planks and stack your them on each side of the floor and build, it couldn't be simpler. Very pleased with the product, a magic addition to our garden.

Bought this as a playhouse for the kids, but it looks so good I want one of my own now! We were told three weeks for delivery and it was slightly less. Looks fantastic, really great shed!

Absolutely delighted with my log cabin, so much better in terms of quality and price than my local supplier. Good delivery, excellent customer service. I am a very happy man. Alan P.

As with a previous reviewer, the shed experience was spoiled somewhat by delay and complete lack of communication from tigerbox. This was a shame because the delay wasn't even a problem to me, its just that no one gave any details of how long, why, when I should expect delivery... nothing, even when I rang them. The website advertised 15 days eventually resolved to 6 weeks. When delivery was finally arranged, it was on time, very helpful driver unloaded exactly where I asked. During the build I found one of the logs was damaged and needed to be replaced. Replacement arrived in about a week, which was good as I couldn't get the roof on until I got that piece. Apart from that one bad log it was complete and very good quality although some quadrant for the glazing would be nice. (I'm going to get some I think to tidy that up.) Assembly was very simple once the first layer was in place. The floor seemed a bit small but apparently this is to allow for expansion (makes sense but should say so in the instructions). A few small pieces of the tongues had broken off whilst the shed was in transit and were lodged in the grooves, which made getting the bits nicely together a bit difficult if you don't notice. Nailing the roof on, you have to be quite careful to ensure the nails go in straight to ensure the don't stick out anywhere. Now its up and painted it does look very nice and much to good for the lawnmower, chairs and barbecue.

Despite delay in delivering have to say was certainly worth the wait. Cabin up & running & quality brill. Daunting seeing all the wood turning up but was simple process to build & very clever too. Quality superb. Driver was very polite & helpfull. Only issues would be the delay in arriving & lack of a clear delivery date - had to prompt it. Prices seem to change add hoc. All in all though would fully recommend.

I've never really ordered much off the internet, but we were recommended by a friend of ours who had bought one of the larger TigerShed cabins. When the cabin was delivered any worries I had disappeared as the cabin is more than I expected. It went together really well and it really looks superb. The service we received from both the office and driver on delivery was exceptional. We're now thinking about buying a shed off the back of this.
