Rowlinson Garden ProductsApex Bin Store

Great service and delivered within a few working days as expected. This is more like a self build product than self assembly, and the instructions are more a succinct guide than a step-by-step instruction manual - though are easy to follow. You'll need a power drill with pozi drive bit and pilot drill bit. If you're making this yourself I'd recommend 2 g-clamps to hold various parts in place whilst drilling pilot holes. As the unit is 3 sides only, with the forth comprising the doors and single cross-baton to the base, the unit is a little flimsy. This is easily resolved with the fitment of right-angle braces in each corner - you can see these in the forth picture. On a flat level base the doors open and close easily. In total this took 3.5 hours to make.

Awful bin store. So cross as really had to pursuede my husband to purchase as I so wanted to have the bins out of view and everywhere near and tidy.We thought we had done our homework - clearly we hadn’t.V flimsy and this was confirmed this weekend when we had the first storm of the summer. Blew one of the doors off and looks as if it’s about to collapse. Very disappointed indeed.

Not good! Arrived pretty damp, as assume stored outside with incorrect instructions, ones they sent were for a different product. Due to other works we were having done, we needed the storage urgently, so were not in a position to return it. Fortunately we consider ourselves fairly practical, so managed to assemble so that it works. It's not the best quality, no holes are pre-drilled, so ensure you have the right tools for the job.Some screws were missing, again fortunately we had some that we could use.Some pieces of wood were missing, or at least we think, as we followed the first part of the instructions, so the dimensions just may not have matched, then we still ended up with some random bits of wood left over.Basically, pretty poor quality, terrible/lack of instructions. Overall don't think I'll purchase again!

To say this is self assembly is an understatement – there was 27 wooden parts plus all the hardware. A lot of the wooden parts were individual batons of various sizes which I felt could easily have been delivered pre-assembled – at the very least they could have been pre-drilled and clearly labelled. The instructions were not very clear. Assembly was VERY time consuming although not that difficult (I only made two mistakes). The finished result is very sturdy and quite attractive. The lids are a bit on the heavy side.

Built it looks ok, but the instructions are poor (Very hard to determine orientation of certain pieces so spend time ensuring you're doing it correctly when assembling). Also, there are no pre-drilled holes so again you have to guess where best to drill and screw. Ensure you pre-drill holes in many areas first to ensure it screws in securely.It took me half a day by myself to build, occasionally getting help holding up pieces. When putting up, it doesn't look well aligned, as if it needs lots of adjustment.

very disappointed. Bought on behalf of parent who got a handyman to put it together. Handyman struggled as some pieces were missing and he said the screws were not long enough. The lip at the front makes it difficult to get bins in and out, especially when full. The lids are impossible for parent to manage on her own. We are abandoning use as bin store

When the kit for the bin store arrived a some of the corners were slightly damaged ( no corner protectors on especially the lids) Some of the wood in the plastic bags were sweating and therefore damp I allowed them to dry out before erecting the Bin Store.The instructions how to build it were not clear and concise plus it was on a very small piece of paper. and difficult to read. . The instructions said" keep it square" but that was difficult as some of the wood was warped.. I managed to put it together with some changes by using extra screws..

We did not like the quality of the product. Some bits were damaged and did not fit together properly. We thought the instructions were poor and difficult to follow. Not particularly pleased with the end result after all the hassle to get it erected.
