My son was super excited to receive his compost bin...we are new to this, and ready to get started.  When it arrived, I could hear the items bouncing around in the box as I carried it to the yard.  Once I opened it, my fear of something being broken was realized, as pieces were simply dropped in a box without any packaging.  Yes, I understand its hard plastic, and barely needs packaging, however, plastic breaks too, and two of the prongs at the bottom that helps it stay put in the dirt were broken off.  Hopefully, the next bin will arrive without damages, but I will not order this one again.  It's a fairly cheap bin, and you get what you pay for.
