4 year old loves this!
Nice sandbox for the price. I have an almost 40 lb. almost 4 year old who loves this. There is room for two kids about that size but that's about it. The box is NOT bottomless - it has a full bottom, no drainage, but the lid appears to have a drainage flap - at least I assume that's what the tab on the corner is(?). The lid is "domed" a bit so you can leave toys inside to store when not in use. My only complaint is the lid - we haven't had any winds to test how well it stays on but other than fitting in some slight grooves at each corner, the lid feels like it just lays on top. So I wouldn't be surprised if in a strong storm, the lid blew off. So to be safe, I keep a rock (not a huge one) on top of the lid to keep it from blowing off. On the short ends, there is open space (I guess to easily lift the lid) - when my husband mowed the lawn around the covered box, debris still got into the sandbox. I imagine water will get in when it rains, but again, no rain since we've had the box. I'm not too bummed, it's a sandbox in a yard, debris is going to get in somehow. My daughter doesn't care - we just pull out the big leaves/twigs and mix up the sand a bit. The corner seats are nice but she just sits right in the sand. As for sand, we used 150 lbs of sand (it holds 200) because it was plenty full at that point, and we kept the extra bag for later refills. I couldn't find the suggested "silica free" sand and after research gave up and bought Quikrete Play Sand at Home Depot. I believe the bags were about $5 or less for a 50 lb. bag. It's VERY dusty but it's play sand, so it does the job and pats off my daughter's pants easily. Would definitely recommend this sand box to someone looking for another yard activity for the little ones.

+ 1 for all positive reviews below
The sandbox is great. Rain or water does not get in, at all. The sand stays dry. The cover closes well and a toddler cannot open it by herself, which is a plus for us, as not every day is a good sand day for our family :)The size of it is great for a smaller terrace/ garden, while also allowing plenty of space for a toddler. We only have 1 toddler playing there now, but she has a lot of space around her. She has a ton of toys and buckets in there and still has space. I think 2 toddlers could easily play there, and 3 or 4 toddlers if they're a little closer together.We used 200 lbs of sand in there, and it's filled nicely. You could probably use less. When you do buy sand, please don't buy sand from the hardware store that can be used for concrete. That sand has small particles that get in your kids' lungs. There is play sand that's washed and prepared for kids to play with (and not for making cement). We bought the Sandtastik play sand and it's great.

Great box, lid is OK, Toddler loves it!
Initially was worried it would be too small but it's perfect size. My son doesn't love getting in so he plays alongside of it - not too deep to reach in and even I sit on a corner at times. Sturdy. I will say the cover is a bit of a flimsy fit. Keeps it covered from rain but seems to leave cracks and crevasses open along the side where bugs could get in. I have read people put a bungee cord across it and we will be doing that. That said - my 2 y/o has NO problem taking off the lid on his own which is so nice. Also as an FYI - putting a few tsps of cinnamon will keep ants and other insects out.

great sandbox!
Great sandbox for little ones! Bought for my 15-month old and it has been perfect. Well made. Nice size. She can sit in it with plenty of room for toys and to play. For bigger kids, plenty big for several kids to sit around it and play. Not bright color so it looks nice sitting on our deck, too. We bought 4 bags of play sand at Home Depot. We dumped three in and decided that was plenty for our little one and saved the other one to refill when needed. There are small open spaces that allow tiny bugs to get in, but it hasn't been a huge problem for us. Someone recommended dumping on some ground cinnamon with thr sand to keep bugs away so we did that and it appears to be working--and it smells nice! I do always check it for critters before my daughter gets in it though, just to be safe!

Best sandbox my son and I have ever played in!
I can't believe how great this sandbox is, especially for what we paid for it! The lid fits perfectly and doesn't blow away on windy days, which was something I was sure would happen. My son and I can both easily fit in there with toys and have plenty of room to play. Of course, I'm pretty small, but I think you could definitely have multiple children/adults in and around this sandbox without running out of space.I don't remember exactly how much sand we put in here, but it holds a LOT. At least four fifty pound bags went into it, maybe more. I love the little seats in the corners, too. They make a nice place to sit, but you can also set toys or that sippy cup of milk or whatever you have there as well. Very versatile.I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I just wish I'd gotten it last year or the year before! My son could have had an extra two years of fun with this! ;) Definitely something every kid should have, and I'd be shocked if it didn't last way beyond his childhood.

AMAZING SANDBOX WITH STURDY LID! PUT TO THE TEST FORSURE! :)
This sandbox is perfect for 1-3 year olds! It’s smaller than the picture gives off BUT it’s amazing. I love the seats on either side, and the cover actually stays and nothing goes inside! We have a colony of feral cats that worried me when looking for a sandbox as I didn’t want it to become a giant litter box haha. The cover is perfect and we have been through 2 horrible rainstorms! Nothing got in! All his toys store inside very well, and it is very Aesthetically Pleasing! If I had more than one kid it may be too small, but for one toddler or kids switching from toy to toy it’s perfect!
