Other reviewers are correct that this compost bin is somewhat flimsy. Once you have it set up and put 8\"-10\" of materials in it, it will hold its shape and stay put. I like the large capacity and that the capacity is adjustable based on how much you coil up the sheet of perforated plastic. I also like that it is lightweight. When I turn the compost to aerate it, I plan to lift the whole thing up, move it over, and refill it, putting the newest material on the bottom and the more composted material on the top. This will be easy to do since it is very lightweight. I will also be able to open the whole thing up from the side to toss the materials as needed. I've been composting in various bins for 40 years and this is just what I needed to accommodate a larger volume of materials while still being a set-up that is easy to work with.
