Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Per my five-year-old grandson on a scale of 1 to 5 this sandbox is a five. I would have deducted a star for the damaged wood but Customer Service shipped me out replacement pieces the same day I called. My 3 replacement pieces arrived in 2 days. Before assembly be sure to inspect all your pieces for damage. Once you assemble, staple the liner to the bottom so it doesn’t slide away. It seemed easy to assemble to me as I had read all the other reviews ahead of time. Tools I needed to assemble: Cordless drill with Phillips bit (or screwdriver) and staple gun Wheelbarrow to haul all the sand that Lowe’s loaded on my truck😊 I filled ours with 1000 lbs of play sand and plan to add more. The more sand, the less the cover will sag and collect water when it rains. Speaking of the cover, it feels thin and cheap. I expect it to tear, but we have had several hard rain and wind storms and it hasn’t blown off or leaked. I am pleasantly surprised. I added 2 pictures showing it filled with rain. The seams on corners stretch but have not torn. I plan to order a few extra covers from the mfg. for the future. In FL I expect the sun to wear it out within 6 months. I put 2 plastic containers in the middle filled with sand toys to elevate center. I didn’t want to elevate too much and tear cover. Still trying to find best way to spread sand underneath for minimal water retention. Over Christmas, I had 5 children with new Tonka trucks digging away. We have also had many monster jam performances . Snow (Sand) Angels. Plenty of room!!! Even the older kids love it and there is a lot of room to be creative. *5 month update - cover still hasn’t blown off, leaked or torn.
