Once constructed this is a solid unit and seems like it will last.
1 latch loosened up and isn't working after about a year of use
A few days ago one of pot metal hinges broke while turning it.
Price
For the price i consider these tumblers a best buy.
For the size tumbler it is, this is a phenomenal price and your getting a quality product!
Yes its complex but the instructions are clear - and think of the $$ you are saving by doing it yourself
Shipping
It did take time and i did have to call lifetime several times.
This may be more of an issue with the shipping facility.
Packaging/appearance
Everything is well labeled in the packages.
Even the packaging drawing clearly shows self tapping screws.
Parts were actually sticking out of one box and as we carried the box inside, additional parts fell out of the box.
Competitiveness
Yes you have to put it together but the cost is much less than other similar composters.
