The sandbox arrived, albeit a much dented box and missing a few screws. The screws that were there needed to be shored up with toothpicks and glue so that there was a tight fit. Would suggest much longer screws and sturdier hinges. However, after a trip to the hardware store for longer screws, the sandbox went together and my two grandsons (7 and 4) spent hours playing happily. This early Christmas present will give them hours of enjoyment and when the youngest child gets over her penchant for eating sand, she can join her older brothers!
