The sandbox I received does not look like what is shown in the product pictures
The sandbox I received does not look like what is shown in the product pictures. Somewhere along the line, there was a design change that hasn't been reflected.
The sandbox was easy to assemble. With the bolts going into the thin walls of the planks, I'm not sure how sturdy it will be in the long run. The liner lay out was great. The pre-punched holes made installing the liner a breeze.
10 x 50lb bags of sand were used to fill it up to the top of the liner. The weight of the sand keeps the box in place.
Overall, I'm happy with the easy of assembly and the simplicity of the design. Let's hope that it holds up.
UPDATE: One the sides boards already has a crack in it. I'll have to contact them about a replacement.
UPDATE #2: My daughters shoe got snagged on the tip of the crack and it left this giant shard. I've contacted the KidKraft. No reply yet. I'll update again when I get a response.
UPDATE #3: Same problem as another reviewer. Kidkraft won't process without a so called 'batch number' that they don't even put on the actual product. It's on the packaging that gets thrown right away. I'm going to see if Amazon can step in and make this right.
UPDATE #4: Cracked seat just like the other review. Amazon has offered a full refund. Unfortunately, that means taking it apart, boxing it up and finding a place for the sand. I'm going to build a replacement. Which was what I was hoping to save time doing by buying this product. This sandbox has been a complete waste of time and money.
