F2CCompost Bin Outdoor 43 Gallon Garden Dual Chamber Composter Bin - Bundled with Pearson's Gardening Gloves，BPA Free, Heavy-Duty Steel Frame, Rotating Tumbler with Sliding Doors | (Black)

This was *not* difficult to put together. At all.I thought it would take two people to put it together because so many reviews said that, but I went at it alone anyway. For reference, I’m 5’5”, 110lbs., with no upper-body strength and I had absolutely no problem putting it together by myself. The directions were fine. Every part fit perfectly. I did not need another person. I did not need additional tools. I did not need long arms to manage it.I have no idea why people are having difficulty with this. It’s a little tedious because it requires a lot of bolts but it’s not difficult.As for the composter itself, it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s a decent size, sturdy, and spins effortlessly. I saw someone complain that water leaks out of it but that’s a feature, not a bug. Compost needs oxygen. Without holes, it wouldn’t work. It also arrived shockingly fast. Faster than anything else I’d ordered that day.While this feels unnecessary, here are some tips for putting it together:- If the holes don’t line up, turn the piece around. (This applies to anything you’re putting together.)- The panels are held together with nuts and bolts. Push the bolt through, screw the nut on the other side to secure it. To tighten it, hold the nut and use the screwdriver they provided to tighten.- In the hardware packet, there are two long bolts. Take them out and set them aside. All the little bolts go with the nuts with the flat textured edge, which is most of them, but there are two nuts that go with the long bolts and they *don’t* have the flat edge. If you’re screwing it together and the nut feels weird, it probably belongs to the long bolt.- The edge of the last panel fits under the rim of the first panel, not over it. This is pretty intuitive, but I’m mentioning this in case it isn’t.- The only part that felt semi-tricky was the final one, when you set the composter onto the stand. Push the long bolts through the holes in the center pole, lift it up (it’s light), position the composter over the stand, and guide it so the bolts catch the holes in the stand. Then adjust until the bolts slide through and screw on the nuts.I don’t usually write reviews but I feel like someone needs to mention that it’s actually pretty straightforward to put together. And it’s also an awesome product. I’m buying another one right now.

I was excited to get this for making compost for my veggie garden. The frame was a snap to put together .. and then came the BARREL!The BAD: The directions were incredibly small and looked like they were drawn as a 'doodle'. Vague comes to mind. Take a photo and blow it up!If you don't have longer arms and coordination, get someone to help you!You need to put the nuts on the (tons of) screws blindly, inside the barrel.The divider is a real task to get lined-up with plastic slots -- that don't actually line-up evenly -- and it requires some sort of brighter light to see what you are doing inside of the barrel. (Think one of those strap-on head-lamps.)The GOOD:There are plenty of screws to hold it together and the fit is actually very decent.Kept out of direct sunlight in the shade or under a roof, it should last a good amount of timeI gave it a 4 for the above reasons. It will take a while before I see how well it composts.

I bought this compost tumbler last October and have loved using it for the last [almost] year. Assembly was not terribly difficult, but I will say it takes a little bit of time. I was able to do the entire thing alone, however, so take heart that this isn't an impossible task.The tumbler itself is a nice size for our 3 person household, and I love having two compartments so we can be adding new scraps all the time while also letting older stuff do it's biodegradable thing and make wonderful compost. I will say that the promise of a full bin of compost every 6 weeks is rather generous, but we have been satisfied with the final product, even if we find it takes a few more weeks than advertised to get to that state since it takes several weeks for us to fill one side.

As expected, the directions were a bit wonky but, fortunately, the pieces are fairly self-explanatory. Definitely recommend two people for this assembly. Once assembled, it turns smoothly. I don't know how long this will actually hold up. Time will tell. There are no slots for accumulated "juices" to drain off, so don't know how soggy this will get. My big complaint is the size of the doors. They are way too small. If you're throwing in a random piece here or there, it's fine. However, if you want to put in anything larger than your hand, forget about it. There is no way a proper shovel is going to fit into the door opening to remove the finished compost when the time comes. You'll have to use a small hand trowel for that job, making it a tedious job. I guess it's good for someone who wants to dabble in making compost to add to a few pots here and there, but I would not recommend it for anyone wanting compost to add to raised beds. Lesson learned.

Assembly took about 30-40 minutes doing this alone without help. All hardware was included. I found this was very easy to put together, all bolt holes lines up perfectly and the instructions were more than adequate. The only issue was the divider, when installed correctly, does not completely divide the compartments as there are small spaces for the compost on one side to fall into the other (see photos). There was no other possible way of installing the divider to correct for this. Perhaps this is by design to allow some of the old compost to help accelerate the new compost but more likely just a small flaw. Otherwise, I'm pleased with the construction of this compost bin.
