Pro: Assembly was easy BUT… It sits outside and doesn’t take up too much space. It is stable and firm on its stand. It has a lock that holds the composter into place to keep from turning. The orange door Securely closes into place Cons: 1. Assembly was easy BUT… You need a rubber mallet the snap the sides into place. We put this together correctly, added the compost starter and the beginning of our compost pile. Went to turn the compost and it was not snapped fully even though we followed the instructions. Learn the hard way I’ve not using a rubber mallet When the compost started to fall out. Got the rubber mallet snapped all back into place and now works. 2. Not having any kind of handle or a bar attached, makes it difficult to turn the composter. 3. There is a small middle bar meant to be placed in between the stand but does not stay on when moved.
