What are the floors/walls made of? Also, does anyone think not adding the garage door would cause a problem with structural integrity?

Walls and floor are made of some kind of fiber board. Floors are laminated. Walls have designs printed on them. Leaving the garage door off will not hurt the structure at all.

The table is very sturdy. My only concern would be with exposure to changes of temperature as a lot of the parts are made of wood products. If the garage is insulated and remains mostly closed, without too much exposure to humidity and variations in temperature that could affect wood, it should be absolutely fine.

Floors, sides and back seem to be a pressed cardboard with a layer of laminated image over it on both sides. We added a small piece of wood to help support the widest floor. Our dollhouse looks like new and functions perfectly after 18 months of use. The frame and the 2 vertical walls on the sides of the bedroom are wood.

I don't have an answer, but if it's a depth issue, you could build it up. I guess it would depend how much you would have to add so they didn't hit the inside of the door. Good luck

Hi Martha, This piece is constructed of pressed wood, something I used to call particle board. Every exposed surface is covered with a synthetic wood finish, and the shelves are covered on every surface. The back is a tempered paper-based material like peg board, but of course, without the holes. I think it might be called "masonite". The holes for the shelves are too far apart causing a waste of vertical space because I can't put the shelves at an optimum location. I had to drill extra holes to solve that issue. The center shelf, however, is fixed in its location. As I said in my review, the doors should have been hinged instead of sliders, eliminating the difficult to access space in the middle of each shelf. Overall, the fully assembled unit is very sturdy. The only cheap feel is the rollers on which the doors move. The doors do not "glide", rather, it feels like a slightly bumpy ride for them. They do not stick and are not difficult to move, just a little feeling of cheapness. I hope that helps you. Lanny

All my pieces were included. I would call the company to see if they can send you the hardware. The doors tend to drop from gravity over time, so I would suggest not loading them with too much.

No, the floor is an integral part of the shed. It holds the four sides together. Without the floor there would be nothing to hold the walls together.

Only thing I see is the garage one has a metal deflector instead of a glass one. That way if it got hit it wouldn't break

I would call a flooring expert on that one, mine went through a laminate floor so it wasn't an issue. Personally I would say that it would crack it, they may have to reinforce it somehow.

Particle board- probably not even MDF. Worse, the hinges are certainly not solid chrome- nothing is. Nearly all toilet.hinges now are made of assorted junk and plated- good chance of them giving out before the veneer.

They are just like thick hard plastic (like those First Step slides or playhouses/kitchen for kids-that type of durable thick plastic) but with a smooth texture. You can put a nice cushion/foam mat or mat or even the dog bed fits inside the house(just measure to fit). It is better than concrete floors or wooden floors I would think-it has to be hard, to be sturdy enough for flooring for a big dog. So just think of those plastic toy kitchens and playhouses as to the feel of the plastic-strong and durable.

My best answer is fabric covered cardboard with velcro connecting the back to the rest of the house. Hope that helps!

no nothing for the door. but I'll tell you this about it. I moved and the movers had to move the safe. it was so heavy they almost killed themselves. at one point they literally dropped the safe from 8 feet off the truck on my concrete driveway right on the front. bottom line it got a little scratched up but works fine. the thing is a tank!

The interior and exterior bottom are covered in a light weight fabric. When I used my knuckles to knock on exterior, it sounded like wood. Might also be fiberboard.

On top of any flat, level surface is perfect. Definitely no need to put anything down on the concrete. Mine is built directly on the ground, and the surface is level but not completely perfectly flat, and it fit together perfectly and the doors operate perfectly. It's not as fussy as some seem to indicate. Any concrete surface that's even close to flat will be just fine.

I would highly recommend a sturdy platform of wood, concrete, or patio blocks but a well tamped and leveled gravel foundation would work. The floor is flexible and snaps together and acts as a base for the walls so it must be stable and level. Hope this helps.

It is necessary to install a plywood/OSB base as the floor of the shed in the fabrication of the unit. However, you need to have a base to have the shed sit on and, if that is made out of wood, it could deteroriate rapidly and need to be replaced often. I poured a small area concrete and my shed frame sits on the concrete. Inside the shed, the flooring is plywood over a metal floor frame.
