Not too easy to put together

The holes did not line up like they were supposed to. Had to make own holes to get the boards to fit together correctly. So it took twice as long as it should have to put the sandbox together. It's a nice sandbox. But if you want something that's easy to put together then look elsewhere.
The sandbox is great for my 2.5 year old. The benches fit my kiddo but also can comfortably fit an adult. It took about eight 50lb bags to fill the box.
Absolutey the nicest little sandbox for my sweet grandbabies. They loved it & the little benches fold over to keep animals, etc, out of it. They & myself could not have been happier with it.
The box came very beat up but the packaging inside was very protective. There were just a couple pieces of wood with cracks through but with a couple extra screws the function is not impacted.
The assembly was relatively quick and easy and the size is perfect. Our 2 and a half year old loves the lid that folds up into seats. While the delivery was a little disappointing I still highly recommend the product.
My husband put this together and it's definitely not cedar. We speayed it with a polyurethane coat to protect it from the weather. We haven't put it out to play yet, but I'm hoping the gap people are talking about doesnt cause any issues with rain.
Assembling the sandbox was a bit more time-consuming than I anticipated but I'm mostly happy with it. My son kept saying the instructions weren't specific enough and I thought they were ok, until we got to the point of closing the top. It was then that we realized that we had attached the top pieces 90 degrees from the direction they should have been placed. It would have been extremely helpful to have included a **** warning or something in the instructions at the point where the first top piece is to be placed, to indicate that the base box is not a perfect square and the choice of which sides to attach the tops to does matter., As it is we have about a 2 cm gap in the top. It's not worth taking out 20+ screws and doing it over again to fix the gap. It would have been nice to know as we were assembling it.
Easy to put together. Looked very nice after put together. Broken within two weeks. My child is barely a year, it wasn’t the child, the wood is thin and split. Very disappointed. I am going to contact company. Will update my review accordingly.
