Customer Reviews for Creative Cedar Designs Octagon 6.5 ft. x 7 ft. Wood Sandbox Kit with Cover

Beautiful and sturdy sandbox. My grandson loves it

This is the perfect sand box for more than 1 child. I bought it for my 2 grandchildren and they love it. The problem is the canvas top. It pools water and we have had a lot of rain. You cannot get the rain off without it spilling into the sandbox. I asked a neighbor to help me and even with two trying to drain the water half came into the sand. That's a problem as the sand takes days to dry out. Since we have had a rainy summer the sand is always very wet. It needs a better top and I thought the manufacturers were thinking of improving the top as I see others are having the same issue. PLease let me know if and when I can by a more durable and efficient top to drain the rain as this would make this sandbox perfect.

They design is OK but the wood is really cheap and the main reason i bought this was for the bottom cover and the top cover which are both a joke to say the least. The bottom is literally landscape fabric and it doesnt attach so if you dont have perfectly level ground sand leaks out so i used 8mil plastic instead and the top cover wont even stay on in a 5mph wind so its basically useless. You have to stake it to the ground or you literally could just lift it up and dump the sand out. Oh yeah, dont make the mistake i did and assume it is cedar because it is not!

We love it! Perfect size for our two kids and when we have our nephews over they love it too, plenty of room for lots of kids.

Everything was going fine with assembly, UNTIL I got to the small boards which have to be screwed to the inside to brace everything together. They claim you only need a Phillips screwdriver. You need a drill and drill bits too though as there are no pre-drilled holes in these boards. It's always something.

Perfect for my 3 and 5 year old kids!

The premade holes for the instructions were way off the wood cracked during assembly

Easy to assemble. Product as stated.

Very easy to assemble and holds a good amount of sand. The cover is nice, but does not fit tightly unless I use something like a small sand bucket in the middle underneath it -- mentioned in the instructions to prevent the pooling of water when it rains. Overall, it's a nice sandbox. It looks good, it's sturdy, and my kids enjoy it, so I'm happy with my purchase.

No bottom to contain the sand

Easy assembly. Large area for sand play. Not sure how long the constructed materials will last. Bottom fabric and cover fabric are poor quality material. Overall not bad for the price. Holds lots of sand. Nine 50 lbs bags only filled up less than half of the area.

Easy to assemble, good materials

easy assembly, great looking product, already has gotten a lot of use, only concern in the cover didn't hold up great in the first rain

Easy to put together. Great size and fit for the grandkids.

Looks really nice. Went together well, recommend using some wood glue of you plan to keep it together in one piece. Also drill pilot holes before screwing together..

Super easy to setup. Kids love it!!!

My grandson loves it

The sandbox is easy to put together and has plenty of space for our two boys to play together. The liner is letting grass grow through though and the cover seems to just collect rain. We'll have to build something else to keep the water out.
