Chery Industrial - Reviews and experiences

enough headroom, decent light through the walls, and it keeps the wind out. That said, buying and getting it set up was a bit of a slog. We hired a crew to put it up and then found some bits were missing, so we ended up paying for labor twice. Customer service was slow to acknowledge the issue; emails and calls lagged, and when someone finally responded they kept asking for info we’d already sent — ugh. It took weeks to get the right replacement part and then more weeks for delivery. So, not flawless, not by a long shot, but once it’s up it does the job and we actually enjoy using it. If you can handle a bumpy ordering experience and a slow parts follow-up, it’s a practical, usable tent. Just be ready for some patience.

I remember standing inside the half-finished frame, thinking “this should’ve been simpler.” We’d cleared a leveled wood base ahead of time, so the site wasn’t the problem — it was the kit. The panels feel solid enough once they’re finally in place, the metal has decent heft and the roof, when you get it right, does keep water out. But getting there is messy and slow. The instructions had us jumping back and forth so many times we literally re-did steps; holes that should match don’t, so you end up drilling a lot on the fly. We had three skilled guys working and it still ate two 10-hour days. If you’re on your own, forget it.
