Easy to put together and all parts included. The wood is thinner than I would like and I wonder about how it will last during multiple seasons. The cover is a fabric mesh that is not waterproof and the Velcro and ties are a but troublesome to open and close...especially when a three year old is ready to play! I like the corner seats. I put a tarp under the sandbox and plan to use another larger tarp once fall and winter sets in. It's price is a bit more than I think it is worth, but it had most of what I was looking for in a sandbox.
