Greenhouses Part 2 - Vitavia?

So further to my previous thread (https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1011031/which-greenhouse-supplier-preferably-wooden-and-on-a-budget/p1)

Ive been on the look out for a second hand wooden greenhouse as I've had to rule out spending £1.5-2k on a beautiful Victorian style wooden greenhouse as the budget simply isn't there however they seem to be few and far between or so derelict that my carpentry skills would be insufficient. 

The foot is still firmly down on the traditional aluminium ones however I have found a Vitavia Freya in dark grey (http://www.vitavia.co.uk/greenhouses/freya/) which has passed approval and has the bonus of having the door on the longer side which would be perfect for the current garden / slab layout. 

Being new to greenhouses im not familiar with Vitavia and whether they are a well thought of make or value for money? They are German engineered with toughened glass, powder coated frame and a 10year warrenty which sounds good. Anyone had any experience with the brand? 

Thanks.

    I know this is a little late, but for anyone else considering Vitavia - I bought a 10x8, green powder coated 'Saturn' in June and it is fabulous.  Extremely well made, fairly straightforward to assemble and it looks fab.  The curved eaves give me a huge amount of extra growing space over my old Halls 10x8, and it was quite a bit cheaper than any UK made greenhouses.  Very highly recommended.
