Just had a ‘premium’ custom shed installed and I’ve got a few faults to pick with it. Am I being unreasonable?

I think the exterior window trim might have been put on the wrong way (vertical instead of horizontal). Looks like it’ll be more prone to water ingress.

Roof not square with the shed frame. Framing timbers are tight with the top plate one end, and out of square at the other end.

Shelf not level.

Screws/nails poking through.

Walls not tight in the corners showing reasonable daylight from top to bottom.

Latch not level.

Its ship lap instead of T&G which is what I was expecting (quote doesn’t actually specify this though).

There’s holes in the cladding itself, albeit few and far between and there’s light shining through some bits already.

A few mis-measured and mis cuts it feels like.

I’d set my heart on a relatively expensive shed (just over £2k for this) with the expectation it was going to be perfect. It’s hard not to feel a little disappointed by this though.

Is this a fine standard to expect or am I being unreasonable?

EDIT: I didn’t make it particularly clear, this was entirely custom, shed built to my spec and installed but the person who built it.
