Instructions are in the lid!

It works great! Set flowers in, leave them alone for three days, dust them off, spray them with a light latex spray... and you've got preserved flowers.

No instructions included, even though the packaging says so.

Wish it came assembled.  Not a very good instruction guide.  Instruction #6, they start to totally mislabel the parts -  J is K; G is H; and cam locks are I, not H.  Also very important on the last instruction #9, Hinges : DO NOT OPEN THE LID ALL THE WAY BACK.  (That should be the first instruction.)  Put the trunk on it's side and line up the screw holes.  I don't know who writes this stuff, but I'm sure they're laughing at the buyer.  Hope this helps you.

you get what you see, but the instructions sucks! i had to spend some time on youtube to get more info. i would recommend In the Swim to post a video on amazon product description and it will go a long way.

This stuff worked awesome but giving it 4 stars bc it was almost impossible to get the lid off.  It took around 20 minutes of really working a screwdriver into the grooves along the top to get it off. The manufacturer really needs to come up with a better way!

Easily removes the the lid.  Sometimes you get a bit of the label so just watch for that.  No rough edges and so easy to use!

I needed a professional to help me make it work. The instructions needs to be expanded. Otherwise, the product is working well, so far!

Once you read and "believe" the instructions, this thing works like a charm.  If using plastic 5-gallon jug, pull whole cap off and follow instructions.  Perfect!  Fast delivery!!

The instructions are right under the cover. Open it up, pull out the instructions and sit down and read them in the evening sometime. Come back the next day and reread the instructions again. Come back the next day and look them over again and then remove the three plates that make up the top and the two that make up the bottom. Very, very carefully compare the image with the plates. There is good reason why they charge $142 to put these things together. Once assembled it's absolutely outstanding. The whole trick is just careful, careful assembly.

Keep in mind there are no extra metal parts. Treasure everyone because if you lose one you're up the creek. Find a nice container to put them in that doesn't tip over easy. All of the metal assembly parts are unique.

Getting down to the final assembly you might want to consider the spacing they tell for DVDs. They tell you to use 2, 4, 6, 9, 11. If you put the support and 6 they're too short to fit a DVD. Put the support's and 7 and everything works out okay. Also you might want to consider putting the supports in before you assemble it. Putting those supports in after it's assembled is a real bitch.

Not quite as easy as the description makes it look, but still really convenient. Make sure to get the lid securely fastened and hold on while tilting.

Cryptic instructions. Can't get the lid off. Have no idea how to open it to even use the freaking thing. Instructions on the internet are useless. None in the box.

Good quality!  I wish it had instructions, but I figured them out, I think.

Would be great if someone would have included the assembly instructions. How stupid. One of the most important jobs! Like leaving McDonalds with no straw or napkins, sorry that is even better.

Nice product.  Maybe throw some instructions in the package. Or maybe a link to some online instructions.

The Healthy looking jun scoby came fast and well packaged. However the instructions aren't what I expected. The instructions were for a regular scoby with sugar as opposed to honey. I had to google instructions. How hard would it be to include the proper instructions?

Works wonderfully, once you sit down and read the instructions...I had some trouble as I'm not so handy - to try to figure out how to get this installed on my son's clothing hamper (which he was continuously hurting his finger on, as the lid just slams down quickly) - but once I sat down and measured the places for the holes (in mm) - it worked out perfectly.  Wish there was a youtube tutorial on this one though.  I couldn't understand how the soft close was going to work without actually going in and drilling the holes into the clothing hamper side.  Was a little strong for my light lid, but works just fine.

This item is half assembled, my husband and I having given up after trying to decipher the poor excuse for instructions that came with this Compost Tumbler.  There is only one short written instruction, while the rest of the instructions consist of pictures and diagrams, that we found incomprehensible in several places.  Written instructions along with the pictures would have been extremely helpful.  We figure they omitted that, hoping to save money by not having to print them in several languages, as is the case in the instructions for using the compost tumbler once it is assembled.  We plan on giving it another go, in the hopes of being able to use the thing, but I'm not optimistic.  Bolts don't tighten as they should, the holes made by the drill bit, which is provided, don't always fit the screws.  We knew from other reviews that we would have to drill holes, but had no idea how many were required, and that it comes with NOTHING assembled at all.  We were looking to replace a Compostumbler which we'd had for many years, and thought to get something different.  Now we wish we'd gone with the same model, the Compostumbler which is now made by Mantis Garden Tools.  That item came mostly assembled, and the only slightly difficult part was bending the metal drum into shape.  We may end up sending this Lifetime tumbler back and getting the Mantis product.

I can now report that a very nicely detailed instruction sheet can be downloaded and printed from the Lifetime products site.  Just find this product and click on "Owner's Manual Sample."  I have printed it out, and hope that it will help with completing the assembly.
