Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a lot of reviews before buying this and finally took the plunge. Here is what I have to say: If you are having problems using this, I think maybe you have problems using most things. It's a pretty straightforward product. Flatten it out the same way you have flattened out every tightly-rolled thing you've ever encountered in your life, put it somewhere where the wind won't knock it over, and fill it up with leaves or whatever. If the wind knocks it over, yet again, solve the problem the same way you have solved that problem every other time something has fallen over in your yard. Use zip ties or whatever, your call. If it seems like it needs some extra shaping, put a couple sticks inside, one end on each wall, and stretch it open for a couple days. (I did it for five minutes and just filled the bin halfway up with compost immediately, so the compost itself held it open.) It's basically like breaking in a new pair of jeans. And I feel this is totally reasonable given the extremely low price. This is a customizable, good quality bin. I think it is an appropriate price for something used to keep the earth in better shape (I'm not into $200 eco-whatever bins that cater to wealthy vegans and not people with normal incomes and normal gardens,) and in general, if you are afraid of ten minutes of work, I don't really know why you're bothering to compost anyway. This thing is awesome.
