My husband cursed build - I admit it. I however like this very sandpit. Our son also. The problem is in all sandboxes same - no matter in what price range: the stuff is made somewhere in the Far East. Some boards are cut at an angle, some screw holes also. Just screw together so not working. You have to help out a bit, ie a screw-drilling, strong hammer to push together the slanting boards ... that however I have read in the internet research before buying in really almost all sandboxes. And that was also the case with this model. However, I really think the two lid slightly and clean to use, the dark wood looks very sends, everything seemed very solid and big and very well made. Only the small gap at one of the corners disturb a bit. However, our son can hurt here nor there bothers him (just me, visually ...). Therefore: 4 stars because we had to rework and the fit of the boards is not given.
