The composter arrived within a week, as expected. 
It takes a bit of time to assemble, but my boys helped me and we had fun working together on it. The unit is nice and compact, so I was able to put it on my deck without it being in the way. We have been adding to it (family of 4) for a few weeks, and the first side isn't even full yet. It is easy to open the chamber to add contents, and it tumbles easily. It doesn't look like things are getting going yet, but I think that's due to the cold, wet weather we've been having.
