Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: - Really nice cedar planks, it smells and looks really nice. Not sure how effective it is but I know cedar repels certain pests so that could be a plus as well - Easy to put together (using two people makes it a breeze, but it's doable with one) - Huge play area with planks to sit on top of sides - Comes with its own soft cover and bottom (however they are not super effective, see below) - We fit 900 lbs of sand in it, could easily fit more Cons: - Delivered with three broken planks. We were easily able to use wood glue on them to mend and they are solid. The company offered to replace them as well, still waiting for delivery on that - The black, water permeable, sheet for the bottom isn't connected to the sand box. We read reviews that indicted there were some issues with sand leaking out. Before we placed and filled it, we turned it over and used a staple gun to attach it to the bottom of the planks. Would highly recommend doing that but it still leaks a little regardless - It comes with a vinyl cover which stretches to cover. It's the very devil to put on and takes two people to get it done efficiently. It also comes off when it's windy. We are going to attach some 3m hooks to the cover and the outside of the sandbox to hopefully take care of that issue. Overall a really great purchase. The hardest part was lugging all the sand from the truck to the backyard. Company was very responsive to issues via email. Going to keep the review at 5 stars unless they don't come through on the replacement planks. Would highly recommend.
