Very happy with this composter which is perfect for my smallish yard and easy for me to handle.  The sides have deep grooves that you grip to rotate tumbler on its special base, and you can actually roll it off its base to areas in the yard where you want compost.  Very sturdy plastic.  Materials break down fairly quickly (not as quickly as 2 weeks which I think the description said is possible).  My only complaint is when I received, the track that the door slides across had 2 little pieces of plastic that prevented the door from sliding.  I had to get a razor knife and whittle them off.  Now door works fine.  Poor finishing on that part of unit.  One more thing, wish the color of the door and base was more subtle (like dark green) as it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb in the area where I have it (so it gets sun to heat the contents).  Overall though, this is a great little composter with a simple design that works!
