KCT 300L Large Outdoor Wooden Compost Bin Garden Kitchen Organic Waste

Super easy to put together, best flat pack kit I've ever had. All the pieces just fit together and all holes in correct place. Most of the structure doesn't require screws, meaning you can very easily change the height. And most importantly, it just looks so much better that and plastic or tin compost bin of similar price. I am thinking of giving the roof a couple of layers of all weather paint, just to ensure longevity, but not a vital addition. Tldr: excellent value for money, quick and easy to build, looks good.

It was relatively easy to put together, but I preferred to treat/colour it before that. It needs a flat base to stand on, so I had used a square of bricks as a base. This also helps to keep the wood dry. Pros: the bin is attractive and holds a surprising quantity. Fairly easy to put together, reasonable thickness of wood. Cons: Quite expensive when compared to plastic. The lid prop slips down between the slats, so needs securing. The top slats often pulls up when the lid is opened, so may need pinning/screwing to the next one. The base slat opening is unsecured so pops out easily. I have put a brick in front to secure it or the compost falls out. The slats are quite open, so smaller composting materials may fall through. I'm glad I bought it though, it's tidied up this corner and is pleasing to look at and the vast amount of compost rots down quickly.

Make sure you put the slats the right way up. Or they can be too tight & the edges can snap off

I bought this because it looked good and it was made of wood However, the wood is very poor quality. And the build quality is also extremely poor. The grooves are loose, when I was putting it together none of the pieces fit tightly. One of the pieces was broken! It's a very flimsy product. I would not recommend. Assembly is okay, but for the effort you put in, I wish they would put half as much effort in sourcing decent wood 🤦🏻. Definitely not got value for money.

I'm really happy with my composter. It looks great in the garden, it was quick to assemble & I've started filling it already. I gave it a clear coat of weather protection to help it last longer.

Take care with base layer - instructions could be clearer. The wood breaks easily. Screws for lid hinges too small - destroyed by wind within 2 days! It looks and smells great! It arrived on time despite being delivered by Evri!

Fairly simple to assemble and it’s a nice design. Decided to give it a coat of clear wood preserver, and it comes up a treat. Hopefully it will Last well - so much better than a bit of old plastic in the garden. 5 stars.

I haven’t got a huge garden and didn’t want an ugly plastic bin as it is visible. This bin fits the bill! It was quite easy to put together, although as an earlier, very helpful, review, put it together where you want to leave it, you cannot move it with taking it apart again.
