I bought this composter to get our compost off the ground , and deter rodents. On the plus side, it is as shown in photo, the structure is sturdy, and the assembly is straightforward.  On the negative side, the product is not from New Zealand as stated in the specifications. It is from China. Mine arrived in a box that was beaten up and the hardware was missing. To their credit, Wayfair did send the hardware package (and the agents were extremely polite and helpful) but it took more than two weeks for the hardware to arrive. Don't know that I would spend $270.00 on this again...might just go to the local hardware and spend $100.00 on their Chinese product.
