Pros & Cons
Pros
I am never disappointed in the craftsmanship and service. It is a bit pricey but sometimes you just have to have something cool. My only complaint is related to the plastic clips they give you to hold the liner in place.
Our friends ask to have playdates at our house because of this sandbox. Bought as a christmas gift for grandson. Best christmas present ever.
Gotta last thru 3 brats. My granddaughter loves it.
Cons
The wood seems to be a very soft and not durable pine especially the grey support posts and red and blue pieces all of which are cracked in multiple places. The bottom it comes with is terrible - very flimsy and cheap.
This is absolutely adorable, but lacks quality and lasting durability. Even if executed well there are gaps where cats could easily crawl under and since it’s mesh it does nothing to keep the sandbox dry.
Highlights
Quality
I used a good quality birch and painted it with deck paint to match the poles.

Packaging/appearance
He stepped out of the sandboat and gave me the biggest hug!
My kids are enjoying this, but there is not way to keep water out of the sand without building an additional top.
Competitiveness
If my grandson hadn’t picked it out, i would have taken it apart and sent it back!
We filled it with 11 50lb bags of sand.

I didnt bother with the bottom tarp that came with it instead i bought some heavy duty tarps to put underneath and to use as a cover for when it rains

I have yet to attach the netting that goes on top because the snaps to attach it have to be measured out to put them on

I really wish that the storage bins had the bottoms attached as my son pulls them out and throws them in the yard so i will have to screw or nail them into place

Only a couple could easily play at a time though as it is small

But if you want the sandbox to last you have to spray it down with gloss so that way it has a barrier very cheap wood water will get into it if you dont spray it down first i used a rustoleum wood coat clear stain spray it really helps it to last longer by the way does not actually have a bottom thats wood its a plastic tarp we did not know that when we bought it

This is a beautiful fun sandbox that my daughter loves but the mesh cover doesnt stay on and it sucks that it doesnt protect it from water
