+ NIce big area for the children to play, Ilike the edges that they can sit on.

- It would be better if the ground sheet was attached to the sides. Our patio is slighlty uneven, and the sand is seeping out under the frame. It would also be good if you would recommend how many bags of sand the pit will require - I had to kepp going out for more!

+ the quality of the wood is excellent and a lovely size for any toddler or child, my daughter askes every evening on getting home if she can go and play in it, even in the rain?

- the base of the sandbox is only tarpaulin which is unsecured, so my husband tacked it to the frame, I would have prefered a proper base

+ Easy to assemble.
Though it appeared not very deep was actually ample for the children's age - made it easy to get in and out safely.

- Sand leaks from base.
Needs 10 bags to fill to reasonable depth!

+ Great Sandbox, good size and plenty deep enough. Nicely packaged, wood was of a good quality and came with weedmat base and nice fitted cover, The Sandbox came with detailed assembly instructions, took us 15 minutes to construct. Children love it and my fornds were very impressed with the Selwood Sunshine Sandbox too. Must Buy item in my opinion.

- None. Can't be happier with my choice.

+ Solid Wood, Seating area for Children, Easily assembled.

- Top cover not waterproof! so no point in cover as when rains sand gets wet and chieldren cannot play until dried out. I would expect better for the cost.

+ It's a nice size, big enough for three toddlers to play in quite happily together.

- There's no bottom, just a thin loose liner which means it gets moved easily by little people and then the sand escapes and the bugs come in! Also takes a lot of sand to fill - we used more than 10 15kg bags! And the wood is poor quality and badly finished so it splinters easily - not such a great idea for toddlers...

+ The sandpit is a good size. It is made out of good quality wood. It looks attractive. It holds a lot of sand. My son Nathan who is four years old has had hours of fun out of it. A very good purchase!

- The only thing i was dissappointed with was that the sandpit did not have a solid base to it - just a cloth to place it on. I would have preferred it to have had a wooden base. I also would have liked to have had a wooden lid instead of the cloth lid that came with it.

- It comes with a canvas cover so will get wet when it rains,although doesn't seem to be a problem as the sand is better when a little damp!!
