Giant Sand Does Not Disappoint

Giant Sand might just keep getting better as long as Howe keeps cranking out records.  I don't know yet where I would rank this album among my Giant Sand favorites, but it is strong contender for a top spot.

I was surprised to find shells and small rock pieces within the sand but that is probably a lack on my part for not reading the packaging. The sand is smooth, white, and looks nice. A little testy to aquascape with but most sand is. I recommend rinsing the sand first for ascetic purposes but it is not a necessity.

Great for the beach, good sized, and construction should hold up a while. It is great for towels and such.

I've been on the hunt for one of these for long time. Finally found it.

It's great for the beach. Only thing I would change is the fold up and go part.  It takes a minute.  Large enough for four adults. it's pretty big, which I love!

I cannot say enough good things about this sand.  My 4 year old will play with it for hours.  It allows him to use his imagination and is an overall quiet activity.  We added some small animals, trucks, and cups to the bin.  We have carpet and although it's a minor annoyance to have to clean up the accidental spills, it is well worth it.  We love this stuff!

Amazing dinosaur ride on. It is very big, almost fits the entire pool at our house but amazing. You will need to get one of those battery operated pumps to get it inflated, or you will be out of breath. Once it is inflated; it will take a while to deflate it as well. It took two adults to lay down on it for like 20 minutes for all the air to get out.

It's very heavy duty. Can fit up to 3 to 4 kids or two adults. I am a little worried about the handles; the kids like to rock it back and forth but doesn't look like it is tearing any time soon.

Really nice sand. Have purchased numerous times. Very soft and white. Kids love to feel it. Molds well with a little water. If you leave it outside and water gets in the sandbox, the water floats to top and can easily be poured out without losing the sand.

It was pretty awesome once it's set up. Even threw it all over rocks and sand in the desert and they held up pretty well, even though it says not to do that on the packaging.

Very impressive, large truck made with thick, durable plastic. The sand toys are good too. The colors are vibrant and easy to see in sand. This set is great for a sandbox. Given its large size and lack of easy carrying, it's not the most portable choice to take to a beach unless you stick the whole thing into a larger bag.

Even better than expected.  This floating island was very heavy duty and has stood up the heavy use by adults and young children as well.  It appears that it will last a long time.  And it's very large and a lot of fun.

This bag is huge! And seems very durable, you would be amazed the amount of sand toys we fit in this at the beach!

This was perfect for the beach. Bigger than I expected. We used for a few days and it was easier to put away than I thought it would be after reading the reviews

We bought the Naturally Playful Sandbox for our 2 year old granddaughter last June 2011 and filled it with quality play sand.  She enjoyed it all summer and fall. I can also sit on the raised corner seats to keep her company. When winter came, the lid was placed on it; for added weight in case of storms, two light lawn chairs were balanced on it.  We opened it last week, cleaned out some stray bugs and dirt with an old strainer, and the sandbox and lid and toys inside are in excellent shape--no cracks, no fading, and no major water damage.  This product looks natural in the yard and covers and uncovers with minimal effort.  An all-around winner for our family.

Very sturdy, very stable (when cross piece filled with sand) and highly visible.

A little tip: dry out your sand on a tarp in the sun before hand. It'll be a lot easier to fill.
Also if you want to use this thing around dusk or after dark, throw a couple of reflective stickers on it.

Took it to the beach and got ohhhs and ahhhhs from everyone.  It bounces into action like a magic trick, no poles, snaps, or zips. Assembly not required.  Noticed some rubbing scratches in it from use, but no holes, it remains intact. Recommend purchasing stakes, the ones provided are the typical L-shaped metal rods, however they worked in the sand on a windy day.  Once you put the towels, backpacks, and beach chairs it will stay down.  It takes up almost no space when folded up in its bag.  Price is very good for the size.  It is very wide, can hold 4-5 people or 2 adults and 1 child laying down across.  Great for hanging out, drop a blanket on the floor, your head out of the sun, feet in the sand, and watch the waves.  Window in back great for air flow.

Now we come to the just of it, breakdown.  If you ever had the round car shade with the metal frame that you twist to put away then you are ahead of the game, same concept, this tent takes as many attempts to close.  You get better at it with practice.  The instructions provided are not the best, however I reference them every time I put it away by myself.  It is not intuitive and may take 3-5 attempts to finally close (2-7 min), be patient, don't lose your cool, and it will happen almost like magic.  The missing star is as you guessed due to the extra 3 attempts to put it away.

Pros:  Great price to size, ease of setup, small footprint when put away

Cons: Folding it back up
