Delivered in Two boxes. Well packed. Very Detailed assembly directions. Tools included. Took me all day to put together. Took a few breaks. Heavy and awkward for one person. When finished, I Had quite a few more screws left over than the directions had listed. So hopefully, that is not a problematic foreshadowing.Drum and stand are big and sturdy. Turns easily. Works like it’s suppose to. Have it in a spot that is nearer to the house for easier access during our Wisconsin winter.This is a new way to compost for us. Looking forward to not hauling buckets of kitchen scraps down to the garden composting area…especially during the winter.Leakage, smell and bugs are a part of composting. This bin, however, seems to be well designed to contain that process keeping the smell minimal.I like the two compartment system. I like the ease of turning and mixing the compost over time. And I can see how easy emptying the ready to use compost will be.
