Best Choice Products Kids' Outdoor Wooden Sandbox Large, Cedar Wood with Foldable Bench Seats and Sand Protection, Bottom Liner Included - Brown

Trés beau produit et Super service à la clientèle.Il n'y avait pas d'instruction dans ma boite (surement une erreur) et sans m'aviser, j'ai reçu en express une copie par la poste.

I saw a lot of reviews saying assembly was a pain, and after reading the directions I can see how it would be confusing as far as trying to match the pieces to the photos.With that being said, we got it assembled fairly quickly, all the wood is in good shape(no splintering or breaks in wood).We used 8 bags of play sand 50lb bags from Lowes. Was the perfect amount, could add 1 or 2 more no problem though.The benches are sturdy, once closed and covered, I wouldnt really say its sturdy to walk on, but I also dont see any reason why you'd need to. If my kiddos did, it would hold up just fine!Overall, SO glad we picked this. Cost effective, it's sturdy (followed directions!!), and the kids love it! Obviously i am not sure how it will hold up over time just yet, but I'm sure itll do just fine.Update: lots of fun still! Overall pretty pleased. Will say... I get now what the other reviews meant about the benches breaking, happens easier than it should! Screws are small so they dont go through the wood, but they dont hold as well as we had hoped with the benches. Still, not a bad purchase and easy/quick to fix. Also, not a huge deal, but trying to lay the "fabric" down was a pain. We had to level our sandbox a little and I wish the fabric piece had been just a little bigger than the sandbox so there was wiggle room. Both my toddlers can fit well and theres enough space to play comfortably & they are obsessed, so I'd say it's still a win!Now if I could just find a way to keep the kids from removing all the sand by filling buckets and making a beach in the yard🤭

Contrary to other older reviews, the instructions were clear. Step by step written instructions and images were provided in the manual we received. Perhaps the manufacturer listened to reviews. This was easy to assemble but does require two people to hold the pieces while placing the screws. Cedar smell was amazing. Although we used a drill, none of the wood pieces split. (Cedar is soft wood and other reviewers complained about this). We screwed them in slowly, which I believe helped avoid the wood splitting.Other reviewers commented about the gap and we originally thought their must be an issue with a gap. So, before attaching the seat boards to the base as instructed in the manual, we assembled the lid and remaining seat & seat back first (see second picture attached). We then placed the seat board next to this and attached the hinges to the remaining seat and seat back (see third picture) BEFORE attaching to the base. Then, lay both seats on top of the base and push them together before screwing of to the base. (See third picture) if you don’t mind the gap, forget what I said and follow the instructions 😃. We personally didn’t care about the gap as we will cover this with a tarp when it rains anyway. I don’t know why, but we put the mesh on the outside of the base with the staple gun. It should be stapled inside to help keep the sand in. Oh well! We placed the sandbox on a piece of plywood. We bought eight 50 pound bags of play sand from Home Depot but only used 5 for now I think it’s a personal preference on how much sand you want. Our extra bags will be used to replace lost sand.Unsure of its durability as we just put it together today. Overall, I think it’s a good product for the money.

My daugher loved the sand box. Not really sturdy but good for the price. Very little screws to hold the wooden boards. Might need to upgrade the fasteners. Overall thou, we loved being able to close the cover on it to keep the cat from using it for you know what.

Amazing so far! Get cabinet handles so kids can open it themselves. I got 6 50-pound bags of sand and it’s perfect. I wish I sprung for better sand (just got play sand from Home Depot). Kids love it and so nice they can sit on the edge and not get AS dirty :)
