Hinged Lid Wooden Garden Composter - 288L by Lacewing­™

"I did not purchase this product! I purchased the beehive composter. Damaged on delivery. Replacement sent which was also damaged. Made up one composter out of 2 kits. Very poor quality product and not worth the cost.
I also ordered the grow bag troughs - these were very good quality, strong, sturdy and worth the money."

"Well, good and poor. I like the design, and it looks lovely now I've painted it. But the instructions were extremely poor. Really unhelpful. I used the picture on the website to work out how to put it together.
Also - one of the wooden slats was cracked. I kept it because of the hassle of returning - it was easier to fix it than return, but I'd rather it had been in tact.
The screws and hinges were extremely poor quality - I went to Wilko's and bought some better ones.
The lid design isn't very clever - I had to caulk underneath it to make it waterproof. The holding slats for the lid also drop down too far - I inserted screws in the side to make rests for them.
So - overall: really not worth sixty quid but I wanted a small, wooden composter without having to make one from scratch and this was the only one on the marked, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind buying extra bits, doing extra work and feeling a bit ripped off..."

"Compost bin arrived without any screws or instructions, and I wanted to get it set up, so we found some of our own to use and figured out construction."

"Instructions could have been better but it went together okay. I will replace the flimsy hinges though."

"Product was exactly as advertised and had great feed back by e-mail before I made the purchase. Refreshingly helpful and efficient."

"This is easy to construct although the pictures in the instructions are not helpful and there is a contradiction in the instructions where it talks of a back panel with hinges and there aren't any hinges on the back panel, they're actually on the roof.

It's a good size composter for a small garden but it could definitely be more solidly made. One slat has already come loose from the frame (I've been using it one day) and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I have to replace the hinges for more substantial ones. It's doing the job I bought it for but it's not particularly good value for money."

"Happy with product now constructed, but one side of the composter had a support piece of wood hanging off and the roofing sections needed prizing apart as they were stuck"

"I would have put 'Not bad' if there were a similar option. It looks smart, but the hinges are weak. Having said that I might buy another one in future, if I can't find another one that looks as good."
