Ok, so the directions suck...That said, start with the door panel (make sure the arrows on it line up with the arrows on the end pieces) and then add panels one at a time till you get back to the door panel. 5 screws per panel. I started with the center screw, then added the two screws to secure new panel to previous one. Then add another panel. When you get to the final panel, tuck it under the door panel and then "pop" the back end down and add screws. Once you do a couple of panels you will realize the assembly is very straightforward. I used the center divider to give it extra rigidity.The legs just literally "snap" together. It really is that easy, not kidding. Slide the axle through the drum and screw to the legs. Done. Took me a little over 20 min. An electric screw gun would really speed things up.Once assembled it is quite sturdy. The center axle is large and will support a loaded drum well. The drum spins very easily.The doors tho small are more than big enough for my big hands. I add a little every day, no problem.Everyone should compost. It's good for balancing your veggie gardens soil. Even tho we have an unlimited supply of aged horse poop (we have Rock Mountain horses) compost fills in other gaps in soil balance. Basically start with dry, than alternate with wet/dry/wet/dry. Tumble once every 4 to 7 days. Depends on heat and moisture. (hotter and wetter you turn more often) There is lot's of information on composting, well worth reading up on it. At least read about what you CAN'T compost. Do this and you will be fine.Even tho we've had this for a short time I am very pleased. No more turning a compost heap. This is luxury composting for me :-)

The assembly instructions are ridiculous. Whomever wrote the guide forgot that the target audience has likely never assembled this product before.I recommend having a Phillips screwdriver for assembly (no mention made in the instructions about what tools are needed).None of the pieces are labeled, but don’t panic when the metal frame doesn’t go together right away. All of the pieces are there, but you have to hunt for the correct orientation. Also, the order matters when inserting the screws, and don’t forget to install the screw in the middle of each panel even though it’s never mentioned in the instructions.Despite my frustration with assembly, the compost tumbler itself is fantastic. I did purchase a second thermometer for the other side of the tumbler (it only comes with one, but there are two separate sides). It’s very easy to add kitchen scraps and give it a spin.

Like everyone says the directions are bad but it's easy enough to figure out. I'm on my 3rd batch since I got it and love it and plan on buying a second. I will say even though it splits in the center so you can alternate and create a new compost pile I just use the whole thing at once and is the reason I plan on buying a second. If you put too much in it, it will rock while rotating but it's not too much of an issue. I've found buying a cement mixing tray from Lowes or Home Depot works best for unloading it. This was my first time dipping my toes into composting and I was not disappointed. I'm sure you won't be either.

Does its job. No issues. Looks nice.

Somewhat easy to put together. The sliding doors are too small. It will be difficult to get the finished compost out of this come next spring. Wish I purchased one with larger doors.

Not as hard to put together as some have made it. I added a couple washers to the bolts that attach the barrel to the legs to prevent the bolt head from going through the pre drilled hole at some point.

My daughter and I put this together but we tossed the instructions to the side and started winging it. The instructions are only there to confuse you more. You will want a phillips head handy. Once it was assembled it was worth the price and work for it. My only gripe is it could really use a handle on the side to help turn it. Once you have some weight in it you feel like you are spinning the wheel on the price is right. Speaking of the price is right, I think this purchase is worth the money. I cant wait to see how well it works in the long run.

I bought this last year but just got around to using this year. So far, so good.It's held up well; however, it will leak if there is alot of wetness inside. If you keep it outside, not much to worry about. It's pretty full and turns easily.One thing I'm pleased about: no critters have tried to access. I've put in pineapple cuttings. I was worried about attracting raccoons. Nope. Thank goodness.If you need something attractive and is designed pretty good, you can't go wrong with this one - especially for the price. (It is now $10 cheaper than when I purchased).I highly recommend.

Instructions could be better. As a technical person it was ok. Pictures and directions for the average person could be better. Extra hardware was good but should be mentioned.had to double check to make sure I didn't miss one.

The thermometer is something I would use for a turkey, not compost. The probe isn't anywhere near long enough to get to the centre of the compost in the tumbler once it's full, and that's where I'm told I have to measure to make sure it's cooking properly. The tumbler itself seems good, except I do wish there was a stopper for the little doors. They slide out too easily, usually leaving gunk all over some part of me.
Very strong. Works well

The directions are not very helpful. Watched a You tube video which helped greatly since I was doing it by myself. Took one hour and it was easy to follow the video. Seems to be of good quality. Time will tell.
