After much shopping around we decided that this sandbox design would meet the needs of our very active grandkids (ages 2 & 4). Happy to say, we made the perfect choice. It was super easy to assemble, well made with no splinters, and the design allows the sand to drain if it gets wet. The bench seats are really nice, providing plenty of playing surface and well as comfortable seating! When playtime is over the seats fold out to become a critter proof cover! You can't go wrong with this classic wooden design!
