Very pleased with this purchase. It's important to understand that this is constructed to "compost bin" specs...not "cabinet specs." Consequently, it's best constructed on site, vs. trying to move it to its location later. It can be done, though, as I built mine in the garage and used a blanket to move to where I needed to place it. I expect it will provide years of service. I added a couple of homemade "spikes" to the bottom to provide some rigidity when I remove the front boards to work the compost and I added a bunch of leftover silicone caulk to the bottom posts to help prevent the absorption of water. I also coated all boards with one coat of Thompson's Water Seal prior to assembly. I used a square to ensure that my bin was placed properly, again to make removal and re-installation of the boards at a later date easier.
