5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to put together in a few mins, but lid a bit harder

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I read the other reveiws and was a bit apprehensive but this is a great item. It comes in parts but trust me it is so easy to put together, You have 2 sides and a front and back that all slot together. Its straightforward, you can easily see the difference between the sides and back, and the front has an opening so you cant go wrong. The lid is a bit of hard work, we have now bought 2 of these the first one the lid took us about 15 mins to put on trying to lever the lugs into place with a flat head screwdriver. The second one we ordered a week later as we were so please and it took less than 5 mins to put together, when it came to the lid we just lined it up and applied a lot of downward pressure on the lugs one at a time and they snapped into place no problem. No everyone will have the strength to do that, but if you have its simple quick and easy.Its also a good size, previously we had a couple of those green salt/pepper shaped bins you had to lift to get the compost out of, somehow these look smaller, certainly neater, and they hold about 1 and half of the old ones.All in all please and glad we went for it

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs cable ties!

The four sides are meant to click together in the corners. While they do this after a fashion they're not particularly secure. So I've followed the advice of others and used cable ties, three x 300mm (12 inch) ties on each corner. These aren't expensive and the bin could be supplied with a dozen of them. The lid is slightly tricky to fit but not too difficult. The base is very slightly under 600mm x 600mm so hoping it will fit on a suitably sized large paving slab. Not sure this is necessary but it'll probably help prevent rodents burrowing in. The six plastic components are moderately flimsy but I've had other types of bin of a similar material and they seem to stand up well to weathering and wear and tear. Glad I won't have to carry my grass clippings so far but I'm wondering if I'll be able to compost them quickly enough to prevent the bin overfilling even with putting a bit of effort into mixing the contents with other waste and regular turning. At a bit over twenty pounds with p&p it won't hurt too much if I have to get one or two more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes garden waste disposal lucrative

Bought one of these to avoid having to pay to have garden waste removed along with food waste because I grudge having to pay any more on top of council tax which I already pay.This is very easy to put together and is sturdy. There is no need for cable ties or anything else as it slots together with minimal force. If you are struggling to lock the sections together I'd recommend a rubber mallet to tap the joints home and to reduce any chance of damage to the structure.The lid flips up and clips back down and the front hatch slides up for when you need to access your compost.I also recommend placing this on a flat and level surface such as slabs because it's open at the base.

Good value for the price but broke quite easily. Plastic needs to be a bit sturdier

5.0 out of 5 stars Robust and a real bargain

This is really excellent, very good for the price, despite some reviews putting it together was super easy, perfect for a smaller garden. Highly recommend

Fits the space perfectly, I love that it’s square rather than round, feels like there is no wasted space in the corners!Part of it arrived damaged, however it doesn’t affect the use. It’s fairly flimsy so, like others, I cable tied the sides together.A good purchase

5.0 out of 5 stars Good and solid .

Delivered a bit late but there were traffic problems in the area. Easy to assemble and fits where I wanted it to go
