Poor materials
"I do not recommend this sandbox. This is my second sandbox. The company replaced my first one, and unfortunately, the exact same thing has happened again. The top has shrunk and ripped from exposure to the sun. At first, I thought I had simply received a faulty product. However, after experiencing the same problem with the replacement, I believe there is a flaw in the material. I live in Maryland—not the Deep South—and this sandbox has been exposed to normal outdoor conditions. Unless you plan to keep this sandbox under a covered or sheltered area, I would not recommend purchasing it. I’m also very concerned about the wood, which has begun to splinter. With my granddaughter using it, this is a safety issue that I simply cannot overlook. Very disappointing, especially after already having one replaced."
