This comes in a flat pack box and must be assembled. It does take a bit of time to assemble, but it's pretty straight forward. Bolts, washers, and nuts. My only gripe is this is going to be in a damp environment... WHY use cheap screws? They're just going to rust out in a year or so. The rest of the plastic housing seems to be pretty robust, so either scrap the screws now and go get some stainless ones from a hardware store or you'll be doing it in a few years anyway. The axle through the center (will be in contact with the schmuts you put into the bin) and frame (in constant contact with the ground (unless you put it on some bricks) is also pretty cheap steel, so i'm not expecting that to last more than 5 years. The design itself is pretty neat though. the sliding doors are ok, if not a little on the small side. You're not going to be dumping a yard/tarp full of debris through this hole. It's sized for table scraps from a small bucket. Or large peanut butter jar (what I use)

This item I love because I will be able to make great food for my gardens. This concept is great as it allows for keeping the compost mixed well. You have to put this together and that is somewhat of a challenge. The item looks smaller than it actually is. It is pretty large, but I am happy with it. It's a little bit of a challenge to put together, they provide a screwdriver as a tool, but I used a powered screwdriver and it helped aid in the putting together of the item.

No sé porque se quejan tanto por armarlo, es muy facil aún sin instrucciones, todavía no puedo opinar sobre su función principal y el tiempo que se lleva, pero lo haré tan pronto tenga el primer resultado

I like the idea of a portable composter but in practice it's not working out too well (after using it all summer). Some of this is my fault, because the amount of "green" compost that my household generates is out of proportion to the amount of brown waste that I've been able to introduce to the unit. Even after adding dry yard clipping and leaves, I have a sludgy mess that has attracted a lot of flies. I think if this were a static "pile" that some of that excess moisture would evaporate but that doesn't really happen with this enclosed unit.The sliding panels are a bit small and I'm starting to panic at the thought of trying to empty and/or clean this.Assembly was a bit tedious and probably took over 20 minutes (lots of screws and panels).I do like that there are two compartments, so you can, in theory, have usable/finished compost coming out of one side and fresh/new compost in the other. I am going to keep using this, with the hope that I can get the green:brown ratio corrected...but so far, not super impressed.

I was impressed with the packaging, the parts came in a plastic folder with the screws clearly labeled. The pictures were a little hard to follow, I got most of it together an realized I had way too many screws left, then I saw the other 3 screw holes per panel.. I had even watched the video of assembly, and didn't see the guy do those, so I had skipped over those holes thinking they were just breathe holes, but nope.. so, I had to take a few panels back off to reach the screw holes, but that was no big deal. it sits waist high, and it spins very easily (I found it satisfying, like playing wheel of fortune) I haven't filled it up yet, and the weather isnt quite warm enough, so Im not sure how well it will compost but so far I am happy with the product quality.

This comes in pieces and reminded me of the Star Wars death star when putting it together; it was fun and the pieces fit together nicely; no problem with assembly. It took me about 20 minutes. The final product is very study and does the job.

I like that I will not have to use a pitchfork and tiller to churn up my compost with millions of routes choking it.The composter went together as instructed, with a few nuts and bolts to spare; Taking about an hour with an engineer, and a handyman putting it together. It is definitely a two person job to assemble. You don’t really need the gloves they provide if you have your own garden gloves. The openings are a little small for putting in grass clippings and leaves. I am hoping the results will make it worth it.

My husband and I purchased this as a secondary compost bin. I just had the chance to assemble it today. Assembly wasn't difficult. The instructions are sub-par, but honestly what instructions are actually clear and concise anymore. As I often say, a kindergarden kid could do a better job at drawing instruction diagrams. One word of advice is to definitely put the center section in after the 4th panel and honestly, you could probably get it in after the 5th. One thing to pay attention to is to line up the arrows in the center section with the arrows on the panels. That's the reason for any gaps in the center. If they don't line up with the arrows you will have a gap problem. I found that out the hard way after giving up on the instructions. Even with the mini oops moment, it took me less than an hour to assemble. I realize it's empty at this point, but it does spin smoothly. I'm just giving it a 4 star for now and will revisit later after some use.
