    After reviewing a number of different bins online, I decided to go with this one based on the thickness of plastic, type of lid and the perceived durability. I am happy to say, I chose well. The construction is sturdy and durable. Many of the other bins in a similar category and price range had complaints of panels cracking or falling off or showing up damaged in the box. This is not the case with this composter. The plastic is fairly thick, strong, but flexible and is fastened with plastic nuts and bolts, making it fairly solid. I also like the latches on the lid to keep the wind from blowing it off or from raccoons, etc out. The bin is also discrete in appearance and blends into my landscaping well. All in all, I am happy with this purchase. PS. I bought it in late summer so I haven't had time to fully produce a batch of compost yet, but from what I've read, success is more dependant on the gardener than the compost bin.

    I waited a month or 2 to report on this. I have an old rubber maid composter I bought a while ago. I never realized how good it was until I bought this one. This one is not that easy to mix and turn over the compost. There just is not the space. It is OK with composting. I had to help it along a lot with worms and dirt from my old one. It does not break down quickly and as someone else wrote about one, the dirt is not the same as the pictures.

    i just started and do not have much to say, but, i consider this product very convenient to use on my small backyard under a tree.

    Nuts and bolts made of metal would be more durable as plastic threat is not strong enough.

        Comments about Covered Bridge Organic SoilSaver 86 Gallon Recycled Plastic Compost Bin:

        I have had this compost bin since April, wanted to use it a while before reviewing. It was very easy to put together alone. (I'm a 68 year old, small woman). I really like that it goes together with nuts & bolts. Reviews of other composters indicate that many don't hold together very well. I placed it very near the back of my house (my daughter, who composts, said "you don't want to trudge through a foot of snow in the winter"). Because of that I bought the composter base to keep out unwanted critters. I suspect that because of the base, it is very stable, the sides of the bin set into the lip around the base. Because the lid is the full size of the bin, it makes it very easy to turn the compost and it locks on well so as not to blow away. I read a lot of reviews on many different composters before I purchased this one and after 5 months am very satisfied that I chose the right one. Only one minor thing that I might change, a hinge on the lid would be handy.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
