Absolutely horrible to assemble.Parts don’t hold together.GapsNOT designed well.Took 2 of us an hour of scares, bruising and cussing.Slider blocked by warped piece.NOT WORTH THE TIME, FRUSTRATION , or PAIN of the assembly or the disassembly to return it.

This composter makes it seamless to compost on my small apartment balcony. It was easy to assemble in minutes. It is sometimes difficult to open the door. I've never cleaned it so I don't know about the ease of cleaning. If you get your compost ratios right you will have zero smell or pest issues.It's perfectly sturdy for the job, screws stayed in well and is light enough to be easily moved from area to another

This review will be based on assembly not performance until spring. Four stars because of how nuanced the assembly is and instructional is subpar based on imagery only and tiny at that. But like Ikea it is logical. The biggest challenge was finding the perfect angle that allowed the panels to clasp effortlessly. Luckily after a struggle with the first attempt, for what seemed like a lifetime, it fell into place,, I realized the angle, evened the edges, heard a small snap and the rest went easily. A rubber mallet & concrete surface is a huge help to insure all parts on the tumblers are fit tight on the 4 endcaps. The slider door panels work surprisingly easily despite my original balk at the design. Of really good value assuming it makes quality compost.

Had this thing for quite some time now and it is still working a little hard to put together

It's a great size for my small home and wasneasybto put together. I thought it would be flimsy but it is actually very tough. Maybe a bit short but it holds quite a lot, is easy to use, although for some may use a bit of muscle to turn because there is no handle but it does have a lock to keep it in place when opening. It made perfect mulch in in just a couple weeks. I mean really great and we weren't nice to it lol, we put a lot in it and it still worked great. Best garden purchase we ever decided on and I definitely recommend it.

The compost tumbler is fairly well designed and sturdy. The instructions were pretty clear. The design accuracy is not perfect. A couple of the panels did not line up perfectly, and it caused the panels to buckle in places. However, this did not adversely affect the function of the product.Now for the bad news, the tumbler is not heating up. I filled the tumbler with horse manure and fine wood chip bedding(think large sawdust) at about a 20:1 ratio of bedding to manure. I used rain water to wet the contents, and it has about 65% moisture content. The contents are not getting hot at all. In fact I believe the only warmth I'm feeling is from the sun heating up the black plastic of the tumbler. When I open a door and stick my hand in, the air is a little warmer than the ambient air outside of the tumbler. When I put my hand deep into the composting material, it is cooler than the air in the composter. I have the composter placed in a sunny spot hoping to help heat up the contents. I created a large compost pile on the ground using the same horse manure and bedding along with some grass clippings and leaves. The large pile is already hot. My conclusion is that the compost tumbler is too small to develop much of a thermophilic reaction. I was concerned about the small size of the chambers when I was putting it together. I considered leaving out the center partition, but was afraid that it might needed for the structural integrity. I even read all the asked questions on the product to see if anyone else had asked about removing the center partition.If anyone can point out anything I'm doing wrong, I'd be pleased to hear from you.
