Aivituvin Kids Sand Boxes with Canopy Sandboxes with Covers Foldable Bench Seats, Children Outdoor Wooden Playset - Upgrade Retractable Roof (47x47Inch)

Highly recommend! This has been a great addition to our backyard. I was drawn to this because I wanted one with an attached lid. I saw this one and thought it was way too cheap for what it was advertising I'd get. Nope, it's exactly as advertised. For size reference, my 3 year old has a ton of space. His 9 and 12 year old siblings can squeeze in there with him too, but not functionally lol. I've only had two issues. Neither of which makes me dislike the sandbox. The only one that actually annoys me is how difficult it is to get the canopy back up with one person. You must pull one side, tighten it, walk around, and repeat until you inch it up to the top. The only other issue we've had is the bench coming detached from the sandbox. They pulled right out of it, no stripping/tear, etc. The screws that secure the hinges just don't work as intended, but super easy fix.

Overall great sandbox for price. The awning is relatively thin but keeps the shade over it well. Did use a staple gun to reinforce the Velcro pieces and also to keep the lining in place for the sand on the inside of the box. Instructions were easy to follow and put together. Overall happy with purchase and kids have enjoyed it. Did purchase another tarp to go over during winter/rain.

Once built, I love this sandbox! Very sturdy and has good shade coverage. The instructions were pretty clear as well. With that being said, there were some issues. One of the pieces (the part holding up the canopy) had been assembled upside down by the factory. I had to unscrew it and screw it into the other end so the rest of it would fit. One piece came split but it was a part that wasn’t major. The main issue was once I got to the canopy. They have small dimples of where the screws go in and I had followed them the whole time with no issue. Once I got to the top of the canopy, one of the cross bars had dimples that ended up running into each other. They were placed on a 90 degree angle so they needed to be spaced out as to not run into each other….spoiler alert they ran into each other. I had to drill my own hole and it kind of ruined the layout but with the canopy attached you can’t tell! With all of that being said, I still love the product and my kids are having a blast with it. The instructions say it takes 45 minutes to set up with two people. I had myself and my two year old, but I would be shocked if I got it done in 45 minutes with another adult! Once assembled it is great though!!

I do not usually write reviews of products but was compelled to for this sandbox. I bought this for my grandchildren. The quality is excellent. It arrived in perfect condition. The instructions are very easy to follow. It can be assembled in an hour or less. I was impressed by the pre-drilled holes that lined up exactly as they should. There was no wood splitting during assembly. If you are looking for a good size, easy to build, good quality sand box, look no further. Put this in your cart and enjoy watching your grandchildren or children enjoy this sand box.

It wasn't too terrible to assemble yet some of the pictures in the instruction manual did not match what it actually looked like so it threw me for a loop for about 20 minutes because it didn't make sense. Then I looked at the cover and was like oh okay this is the right way. This wood is extremely SOFT. Looks to be treated but I can't be for certain but under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you try to put together the "canopy" alone and be VERY careful when drilling the screws in. If you go too fast you'll split the wood. If I could return this I would because I'm not sure it'll even last the summer because the canopy is so flimsy. Also on top of the wood splitting the canopy velcro doesn't line up, the bottom material just lays on the ground (which I find to be weird) so once the sand is in there you arent moving it, and lowering and rasing the top is a very precarious situation. I suggest you spend more money and buy a better version of this because I ended up gluing the top portion together just so it wouldn't fall apart. How did I get duped into buying this?! I stg it has waaaaay better reviews then it should have. Update 5/6/2023: The whole top has completely broken and will no longer stay up at all. To be clear this isnt just sitting out in the middle of the yard. I placed mine next to a shed so the wind wouldnt disturb it as mich when there was a storm. Really though it spent most of winter in the down position but I went to lift it up one day, and nope it's had it. It being able to be closed isn't super ideal either. I have to somehow figure out how to scoop all this sand out now because all kinds of bugs have decided to move into the sand pit so if you close it up for winter, figure out how to actually close it up. Or risk your kids getting bit by all sorts of things. This is legit an eyesore now. Spend more money and don't buy this garbage.

The sandbox itself is great, the perfect size and depth for my 5 year old to use with all of her play toys. The cover is an awesome addition to keep animals out, but even better because it opens up into benches. -2 stars simply because I can already tell the canopy is not going to last very long. The arms aren’t very sturdy and the fabric for shade is rather cheap, but is acceptable for the price of the sandbox overall. Definitely don’t forget to lower the canopy when finished playing to help preserve its life span.

Instructions were easy to follow and overall easy to assemble. Kept my toddler busy for hours. Size is great not too big or too small, love the fact that it provides shade!

I was very weary of buying a sandbox online but I’m so glad I took the chance with this one. It was easy to set up, just make sure like with any wood, don’t over tighten and you shouldn’t have any issues, plus I appreciated the instructions that were more than adequate to put together correctly, just make sure when you are lifting and lowering the top that both sides are even, then you just twist the knobs on either side. Easy peasy! I can get it set up for play in seconds by myself and then kick my feet up, plus bench seats are easy to fold out and I can sit comfortably while my 2 year old plays with ample room. Let’s talk durability..honestly I’m very impressed with the quality, It’s a nice strong wood (no splits or cracking and sanded down nicely to avoid splinters), it held up all winter in the IL snow with nothing over it except the cover that it comes with and it held up great! The cover is removable and attached with strong Velcro so if you ever need to give it a rinse with the hose it’s a snap without getting the sand wet. For reference we used four 5-pound bags of play-sand to fill and it worked out perfect. Overall, it’s a nice, durable sandbox that you will be able to enjoy for years to come..plus you don’t have to sit in the sand to play with your kids..you can be comfy too!
