Easy to put together. Seems to work well.

It was a bit overwhelming at first. My recommendation is be patient. First unpack all parts and all screws, bolts, nuts,etc. pay close attention to the size and the part #. Follow the steps in the order they are given, even at the time it doesn't seem right. Took a bit more time to complete, attaching the barrel to the frame took two people. The finished product is worth the work it is very sturdy. I have started composting and can't wait to have finished compost to improve my soil.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Their customer service is exemplary. I ove it.

It freezes in the winter so you are unable to open to put the scraps inside. I turn opening towards bottom in winter to stop snow or rain from entering and freezing opening.
