Not only FLIMSY but it was cracked and my husband cut his finger wide open trying to assemble this. NOT worth it I would not even pay 19.99 on a late night infomercial for this...PASS ON THIS CRAP.
do not bother with this composter--it is hard to put together and the first attempt -a piece broke off. The manufacturer send me a replacement part but this one had a crack. The top doesn't fit right and the quality is NO WAY worth the cost. I am really disappointed.
This composter is made of plastic so flimsy it comes with ties to hold the joins together! It was extremely difficult to assemble. The wind blows the top up and off, and during one wind burst, one of the hinges on the top snapped off. It is so cheaply made that the only thing really holding it up or keeping the whole unit from blowing away is that it is full of compost. I haven't yet tried opening one of the bottom doors to remove compost, as it's a bit early in the spring, but also because I'm dreading what will happen when I do. Very bad value for money, even at the sale price.
It goes together with a lot more effort than described. It took two people to set it up. Someone has to hold the previously connected sides and snap in the rest before they will all stay. Once together it works fine - but it's a struggle to get going.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Okay quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Close - but no cigar
We are using duct tape to hold ours together, otherwise it is doing a good job. Turns out we could have used a larger one too by the time we get kitchen scrapes and yard clippings in there. We could only fit one yard 'trimming' in at a time.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Not so good
The composter was received with 4 broken pieces. The plastic is bent so that when put together, it still pulls apart. For example, because the lid was bent, it continually pops open when just sitting outside. Can't have that in our area, the deer and other animals will get into it. The replacement was just received and has not been put together yet, but I can see that this is not a well made product.
This composter looked like the idea fit for us. We received it in a timely fashion, but the instructions included were horrible, and the setup of this item was even worse. Took 2 people about an hour to snap it together. Plastic also seems kinda flimsy.
It's a nice composter, but was a little difficult to get together. The side pieces once you got them together were fine, it was getting them together that posed a bit of a problem.. Other than that it's great.
A great size and price for those who wish to compost. We will discover next spring more about the durability and construction! So far we are pleased with our purchase. It also blends in nicely.
This is a great product. The only problem i ran into is making sure that it stays assembled when you are digging around it it. The walls wedge together and can come undone if you are rough with it. However, it is nothing that would ever deter me from buying another one.
good product so far, easy to assemble. am new at composting, so I will wait and see how product holds up.
I could not find any composters for this price and size. In the end a composter is a composter and this one is fine for kitchen/yard waste. It is pretty big, so you might want to get another size if you don't create a lot of garden waste.
This is the perfect composter for my city yard. It was simple to follow instructions and put together. Arrived quickly. It has seen much action with waste from the great summer produce and yard trimmings.I shopped around and this was a good price for the size.
Based on some other reviews that I had read, I expected this composter to be a bit difficult to assemble. That wasn't the case and I was able to assemble it by myself. I would encourage anyone to assemble near the place you are actually going to use it because the four walls are not completely stable. All in all, I'm really pleased.
The item came in perfect condition very quickly. I had a little trouble trying to put it together but once I figured it out, the composter looked great. However, it was taller than I expected. It works good. Very easy to throw scraps into and large enough to circulate occasionally. I found this same composter on a few websites and Overstock was the cheapest by far. Great product for the cost.
This composter is exactly what it says it is. Nothing fancy, highly functional and easy to use. I love that it is made of recycled materials.
