Review on Badger Basket Barrel Top Espresso by Larry Cole

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The seller did well and sent the right parts

Don't be fooled by the picture! The right parts are not included. You will need to speak to the manufacturer to get the parts you need. It is recommended that you get the following: - 1 pre-drilled cover - 1 front panel - 1 back panel - 2 side panels - 2 support rails - 1 thin panel - 2 hinges - 1 security strap - screws, nuts and bolts Instead you will receive: - 1 lid (none pre-drilled holes) - 2 front boards (none of them pre-drilled. I assume the back board is pre-drilled?) - 2 side boards - 1 thin board - 2 "short" support rods (on reassembly - 2 flimsy hinges (swapped; see below) - 1 safety hinge that does not work (see below) - screws, nuts and bolts. Screws and bolts are easily removed with minimal pressure on them. There are no pilot holes for screws in the panels; only for bolts. You need to look at the picture to guess where to put the screws in. The instructions provided show where to place them, but it would be helpful to include the unit of measurement (e.g. x inches from the margs dern). The two supplied brass hinges are rather weak. I went to Home Depot to get stronger ones to match the weight of the lid. The screws are easy to remove. Home Depot has better ones. Screws are easy to remove. Couldn't find them at Home Depot so I did my best to screw them onto the toy box. The safety hinge does not work. It's really tough. I fastened it thinking it would bend with the lid, but it pulled out of the wood when I opened the toy box. I contacted the seller and he sent me the parts I needed. Apparently their site is made for such mistakes. I think a lot is happening. Now the chest works as intended.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Not the best
