This was the nicest sandbox I found that wasn't plastic or cost a fortune! My son was thrilled when we gave it to him for his fifth birthday. It was pretty simple to put together, took all but an hour with just me. If hubby was there to help would have only taken half the time. Seems pretty good quality, didn't treat the wood but probably will next spring. The cover just fits, some debris has gotten in but keeps big stuff and animals out.  We used 10 bags of play sand which filled it pretty well.
