Looks better than it is
The top cupboard door (the "loft") is for show only, there being no shelf floor to make a top cupboard. The little door is therefore pointless, unless you make and fit a shelf yourself.
There are no weather stops behind the large door, nor behind the little top door, so there is a gap all around each door, allowing the rain in. One has to go and buy some extra wood to make the shed weatherproof.
It would have been simple, at little cost, to make the door left or right handed, but it is supplied only as per illustration.

Acer Aspire 1513LMI PC Laptop
I bought this laptop as an insurance against the day when my Acer 230 laptop (XP) needed replacing, and I wanted something with a fast processor speed, and at 3.4 Ghz this seemed ideal. (so many new ones you see on offer only operate at 1.6 or so, even slower than my old 230) I bought it now, whilst XP was still available, because I did NOT want MS Vista, having several peripherals (3 printers, satellite card programmer, and an external DVD writer) that Vista may well not support.
I am also addicted, because of my 230, to Acer's provision of one-touch buttons between the keyboard and screen, providing instant access to email, internet and Bluetooth, plus 2 other programs of the user's choice ( I use a WP program and Ad-Aware).
The screen is very clear and bright (but why oh why do Acer incorporate an automatic screen dimmer when on battery, when that is the very time that you are most likely to need a bright screen?!) - if I could disable this I would !
Like all Acers it has a 4 button feature below the touchpad, enabling easy scrolling up/down. After using an Acer (my 230) with this feature one does not want to lose it, as it is so user friendly.
The DVD writer works fine, as does everything else, and the loss of a floppy drive in exchange for a multi card reader was no great hardship.
The one negative point I encountered was on the Wi-Fi aspect - the encryption system is WEP only, with no WPA option, and this had me fooled for a while, when I could not get it to talk to my router, which was set up with the WPA protocol. Once I sussed this, and changed the router (and my other gear) to WEP all was well, although I would have preferred to stay with WPA, as this is more secure, I believe.
All in all, it is a good laptop, and if it serves as well as my trusty 230 I shall be well satisfied with an eBay purchase that cost me £265 + £20 PP.
