Received cedar sandbox and set it up. All joints do not match up...had to work on them a bit to make box fit together THEN had to put duct tape on all inside seams to keep sand from leaking out of box once assembled. The box is sturdy and VERY enjoyable for our three grand kids...might not stand the test of time but works and will probably endure the next several years - which might be enough. The cover is cheap plastic that could easily blow away...we added a heavier tarp with tie-downs staked into the ground. It took A LOT of sand to fill but well worth the effort...good product for the price - if we wanted something that would last almost forever I would have built it (as I did a sandbox for our kids that is still functional as a flower bed).

We bought this sand box for our 3 children as an Easter present. I assumed that spending the amount we did that we would receive a durable and high quality sandbox that would last for years to come versus a cheap and poorly made plastic one from elsewhere. Boy, was I wrong. The sandbox was easily assembled, that is about the only good thing I have to say. We put it together properly and loaded it with 400+ pounds of sand. It was cold on Easter morning so our children were only able to play for a little bit that day. We covered the sandbox with the included tarp ensuring that it was velcroed down all sides and that a large item was in the middle of the sandbox to help prop the tarp up (as the instructions say). The next day it rained. The following day I opened the sandbox for the kids to play and all 400+ pounds of sand was soaking wet. There was absolutely no point in even covering it. The tarp is such cheap quality, it did not withstand a simple rain shower- I have no idea how it would last an entire summer with rain and storms as most areas receive. I was disappointed, as were my kids obviously- however I tried to remain positive. I assumed the sand would drain through the included "drainage mat" that was placed at the bottom. It has been 2- almost 3 weeks and the sand is still completely soaked. Even with uncovering it every single day and trying to stir the sand around to dry it out, it will not drain. Our children were never able to enjoy this sandbox for more than 20 minutes. We spent all this money on the sandbox and all this brand new sand and everything is ruined. IF all the sand were to ever drain and dry out, we would still need to come up with an alternate way to keep it covered since the included tarp clearly doesn't work. To say I am disappointed with this sandbox is an extreme understatement. My kids love sand and have yet to been able to spend any warm, spring days with this.Read full review

The size is great for our 3 boys. They thought that was the coolest thing ever. They played for hours! They can’t wait to play in it when they get home from school.

It was super easy to put together! The kids are having a great time plane but you have to remember to put the Cover on because when it rains the sand will seep out the edges of the sandbox.

Easy to put together. It took me about 30 minutes with a Philips screwdriver and nothing else. Lightweight but sturdy and big enough for 3 kids ages 4 to 9 to play in comfortably. Takes quite a bit of sand to fill (2 digger load in my case).
