Summary: Better than expected
Comment: These bins are *much* larger than they look in the picture as they are expandable up to three feet across. To keep them from falling in, they do require a stake or two when fully expanded, particularly when placed on slanted ground, but I thought that was a reasonable expectation for the flexibility of the product. I like that they are open on the top to allow rain to enter and have holes on the sides for ventilation. We have a lot of leaves and grass clippings and are very happy with the amount we can fit in each bin.

Summary: does not hold up
Comment: I ordered this and unfortunately it keeps falling over. I wonder if the other customers put sticks to hold it straight

Summary: Great starter composte bin!
Comment: I have looked at many websites for a composte bin for our home. With a few kids at home I cook a lot. We have scraps, we have left overs. We have a yard, so we have leaves. I hate to see waste, and felt that I really needed to recycle some of our "stuff" better. God gave us this planet, I could be doing better. When I saw this, it was my answer. We have it in our backyard and we are already seeing our kids chip in and think about our recycling efforts.

Summary: Doesn't get much cheaper for a store bought bin
Comment: I have a couple of these. I think I paid ~ $10 a piece for mine, but I bought them a couple of years ago and I didn't buy them through Amazon. Anyway, these work great and last. Mine have held up.
I periodically turn the whole pile by lifting the bin up, off of the pile and setting the bin back down next to it. Then I fork/shovel (depending on how composted everything is getting) the pile into the bin again and what was on top is now on the bottom and vice versa. Very simple.
