Octagon Wooden Cedar Sand Box w Seat Boards | Eco-Friendly Cover & Ground Liner | 84" X 78" x 9" | 3/4" Cedar Boards | Easy DIY Assembly | Holds 800+ lbs of Sand | Natural Cedar Beauty Built to Last

Easy to build and good quality materials. The sandbox itself is not heavy. We had rain couple days ago and the cover did its job of protecting the sand from getting throughly wet. The cover is not totally waterproof by all means but it is good enough. Place something heavy to hold it in place when you cover it. I used cinder blocks and put them on the benches.The height of the sandbox is about more or less 8 inches. I used 8 bags of play sand from Ace Hardware. (I suggest going no less than 8 bags) The sand was too fine so I wet it just enough that you can start making sand castle.

Very happy! My two toddlers love this sand box, it’s the perfect size for the both of them with room for more. It was very easy to put together and took me about 1 hour. Cover is good but will not stay on during strong winds so we purchased clamps to keep it down. We did staple down the liner as some others suggested.We used 15 bags of sand so 750lbs total

Easy to put together grand kids love using it.

This seems to be high quality, it is very pretty, and it was easy to put together.

This is a really nice sandbox. My grandkids put it together with their mom.

The box arrive looking as if it had been fired out of a cannon, but the wood pieces inside were fine, and smelled fantastic. It took a while to spray paint (optional, but nice looking) because the wood absorbs it like paper towel, but once that was done, assembly was a breeze.That brings me to my only problem with this box. This thing holds a lot of sand...Once it's ready and you start filling it with sand, you begin to question your judgement, everything you know about physics, three dimensional space, and your grasp on reality itself, as you add bag after bag after bag of sand to the center, knowing that it should be filling up, but it never seems to.My daughter watched eagerly, ready to jump in and start playing with her cars and new sand toys, as I dumped what seemed like 10,000 lbs of sand into her new sandbox, only to wonder why there was so little sand to play in."How come it's so empty", she asked me, sounding a little bewildered.Exhausted and half crazed from exertion and heat I answered, "I don't know, honey. Maybe it's a black hole.""Or maybe it's magic", she replied, sounding ominous.I stopped and stared at her while yet another bag of sand slowly emptied into the void. A chill washed over me, even in the burning sun of mid-day. I looked at my daughter, and then at the impossibly empty sand box. It seemed to be staring at me, waiting for me to fill it with more sand. To feed it...I grabbed my little girl and ran as fast as my terror-numbed legs would carry me. The door to my house seemed miles away, and was not getting any closer, even though I was sprinting harder and faster than I ever had in my life. There was no sound but the pounding of my feet and my ragged breathing, but I swear I heard a voice in my head, screaming in rage.Finally, after what seemed like a lifetime, we reached the door. I practically threw my daughter inside before slamming the door behind us. I slid to the floor, panting and pouring sweat. My daughter, not really understanding what happened, but feeling the heavy, malevolent shadow that we had unknowingly been engulfed in for hours drifting away asked, "Are we safe now?""Yes baby," I replied, still breathing raggedly. "We're safe. For now."

Great little sand box! Easy easy to put together. The liner was easy to install (used construction staples), but the cover lacks tiedowns. We have to weigh it down with toys to keep it from blowing away. The material is good, though. The box is big. The benches are just right for the kids.The kids LOVE this thing. We bought 1000 pounds of sand and it filled it just right. (Be careful of the sand! Ours turned out to be filled with dormant sand flea eggs. That was a nightmare, but salt and diatomaceous earth seemed to kill them off. Don't breathe in the diatomaceous; it's silica and will tear lung tissue. The earth DOES NOT get put in the sand! Only put SALT IN THE SAND!)

This was an upgrade from the Little Tikes turtle sandbox. We needed more space and this delivered. It was easy to assemble on my own and the directions were pretty straight forward. I used a staple gun to secure the black material on the bottom the the sandbox frame to keep same from coming out. I used about 16 50lb bags of sand to fill and honestly probably could have put more in. The cover is okay and has lasted so far. We do prop up the middle with their excavator toy to avoid water from pooling during rain storms. The only time it has blow off is during a really band storm with high winds but has served its purpose so far. It can comfortably hold 4 toddler with allowing them all enough room to have their own playing space. Very pleased and will update any changes as we continue to use it.
