The Yimby tumbler was fairly easy to put together. Lots of screws involved but I did it myself. Just takes a little time and effort. Made really well and worth the money. We blended ours in with the backyard landscaping leaving room to access it when we need compost. It breaks down scraps quickly..we haven't filled up one side yet and its already breaking down. It has two chambers inside so you can compost small batches. Each chamber is large and will take a while to fill it up. It does generate bugs and such outside in that area but its expected due to the decaying matter. A great buy and a gardeners dream!
