Great for sunny days outside. Came in a box didnt have to do much other then place it where i wanted it to go in the yard. Make sure where ever you place it thats where you want it to be cause it holds up to 200 lbs of sand. Of course you dont have to fill it to the max if you dont want to. I would put it in a place that gets some shade cause the sand tends to get a little hot if its in the sun to long. Will hold sand toy inside with the cover on to. Great summer time fun.
