I bought one of these many years ago and it has held up great except that one of the hinges rusted out this year.  My fault because I should have kept it oiled.  I contacted
Customer Service and Justin sent me new hinges absolutely free of charge.  I have
never seen a company that stands behind it's products like Lifetime.  These are great 
composters because it is so easy to turn your compost every few weeks - a must if you want to produce good compost.  Thanks Justin for your help!
