I was hesitant to get this due to people claiming that it was confusing to put together. However, this is the most affordable large size composter I could find, so I got one. I put it together today in about 30 minutes. There is an easy to understand instruction booklet that has both images and clear written instructions. Additionally. There are not many parts at all and there is only ONE way that most things can go, so this is absolutely not a confusing puzzle. I don’t understand how some people had such a hard time with this, but I assure you it’s not complicated. The only challenge is if you’re alone and trying to reach through the inside to put the nuts and bolts together after the barrel is more than half complete.
