I must say this product looks amazing when completed, and my 20 month year old little boy will not come out of it. He even peaks his head out of our upstairs window and likes to look and point at his new Pirate Sandbox.
Overall I give the product a 4 out of 5 Stars, but you can make it a perfect 5 with just a little more effort from your local hardware store. The finished product looks exactly like the picture, yes, it's really that nice looking. However, you should note that it does not come with a floor, instead they give you a very heavy gauge plastic bottom. I would estimate the thickness of the plastic to be the equivalent of two contractor bags. The actual assembly was fairly painless, you need to place all the wooden pieces with the numbers facing up outside in the backyard (you may have trouble getting the fully assembled product through a door). I would suggest that you use a very high quality ratchet screw driver, my absolute favorite is the Ivy Classic. You should use a good quality Phillips head and matching hex in the ratcheting screw driver. Following the assembly instructions was quite easy, but time consuming, you want everything tight but not over tightened, otherwise you'll risk cracking. Be sure to make sure all pieces have the matching bolts on the opposite side, so you can tighten properly. My item came with a flag post top that's screw was to short, so I had to drill a 3/4" hole in the cross beam about 1/3" deep. This was the only real mishap with the parts received, the package did arrive in decent condition. Now, the fun part, that can turn this almost into a real boat that can last for many years to come. It became obvious that the design was subject to body sway and overtime this would be an issue, plus only having a plastic liner in the front section would not protect the middle seat section or the last section. My solution, which cost under $50 in building materials from my local big home improvement reseller, was to get a 4 foot by 8 foot piece of plywood meant to be outdoors. It cost me about $20 for the plywood sheet, I did not get the treated plywood, since I didn't want kids to touch any of the toxins (pesticides and wood preservatives). I put the completed Pirate Sandboat on the plywood, then traced a 2" perimeter line around the entire structure. Then using a circular saw, while holding the wood on a picnic table, cut out the previously traced "bottom." Next, I purchased three packages of "2 in. Corner Braces, Galvanized 4-Pack", so a total of 12 all together to attach the new bottom to the boat. I first however used Thompson Water Seal on the underside and let it dry overnight. The next day I looked at the stress points that the sides of the pirate boat and used the Corner Braces to strategically secure the "new" bottom. The result has been impressive, I don't have to worry about 4 kids in the Pirate Sandbox destroying or breaking anything. It is solid as a rock, and I anticipate it lasting many, many years. My final project with the Pirate Sandbox is to use Helmsman Spar Urethane to protect the outer layer of all the wood surfaces. I had contemplated using silicone clear waterproof caulking around the new bottom, but after filling the sandbox part with 12 bags of Play Sand (about $4.50 per / bag), none leaked out, so I held off. I'd also suggest that you put one of the corner braces on the inside bottom of each seat to the center mast. I'll try post better pictures of all 12 bracket locations. My 1 1/2 year old has not come out of the sandbox, and spends hours everyday playing in the sand and driving it all over the ocean with his imagination. I bought some plastic pirate swords, so his cousins can walk the plank and prevent any mutinies on board. I'll Post the photo's today, and I'll try and post some of the video we shot of the kids playing in the near future. If you have any questions on the construction of the floor I'd be happy to answer them via email.

I have very mixed reviews for this product. The product came with several broken pieces. The steering wheel was broken and my husband had to glue some of the wood pieces back together with wood glue. Since it was a Christmas gift we didn't have time to send it back for a replacement. Once put together, the sandbox is adorable. We ordered a replacement sandbox and simply replaced the steering wheel. My husband did not want to take it all apart to replace the wood pieces that were broken (Since it took about 3 hrs to put together in the first place). Only time will tell how durable it is going to be once outside in rain.
It is definitely a hit with the kids. My kids and their friends have so much fun on it. Because of this, I would recommend this product to others. I just hope it ends up being durable!

TOTAL KID MAGNET :),

This review is from: KidKraft Pirate Sandboat (Toy)
We are very picky when it comes to buying any kids toys for outside as they tend to look blaaah...
and are plain landscape spoilers... so when we saw this item we decided to give it a shot. OH MY GOSH.. when it arrived and we opened the box and saw all the beautiful elements with the gorgeous painted images and the canvas and all.. we could hardly wait for my husband to put it together.. it became a party.. who could to participated did, who could not watched patiently cheering up daddy. It emerged from the planks and bolts in short time into a beautiful structure of a magnificent beauty. We had very high expectancies as we are generally people with very expensive taste :) and super picky I may add. When it was ready we all gasped. It was standing in front of us spreading magic like crazy. Of course once kids got inside there was no way to pull them out of for what it seemed like 7 days :) That was last spring, then the summer came.. then after sumer the fall came then the winter came and now it is Spring again. The ship has been joy of the family for the whole year and witnessed ENDLESS parties and play-dates, scheduled and unscheduled as kids from the hood just would swarm and ask if they could play and since we are very friendly crowd we and our boat became talk of the block :) now we see 5 other homes having the exact boat as ours so it is soo funny.. Then again writing this review was so natural as I feel like I had to review this boat so many times for all whoever looks at this, it is definitely a conversation piece for adults. I really had no idea that this will be such an amazing toy. Forget all the pictures, they don't come even close comes to conveying the beauty of it. It is just plain gorgeous. It looks fabulous on the grass next to any house. One of my neighbors set it on the deck and it is just as smashing looking there. Now a year later my take on the condition of the boat: - The cover did not fade almost any. Slightly a tinny bit but almost nothing. - The flag looks like bought yesterday - the paint and the wood holidng perfeclty - provided we did ZERO maintenance and we had major double snow storms of the century and it was covered with the snow one yeard over the canopy!!! when the snow melted I was wondering if there will be anyhthing left.. and it did do zero harm. There is slight weathering of the wood here and there but it is such a minimal and it is probably our fault anyways because the instruction said to seal it for winter with something but we really don't care I would like it to weather some to add some of the authentic ragged appearance of the pirate ship so we are letting it go, besides for this price and this beauty I could buy one per year for how much it gave the joy and fun to everybody and it was center of 3 priate birthday parties in the family close and far.. we did not bother to cover it once.. the sand dries just right up after a rain and we don't care otherwise as kids have a kick to play in all kinds of sand wetness.. from total mud to complete dust.. they will take buckets of water from home and pour and pour and pour some more to make a puddle in it and what a joy it is.. just need to hose them down subsequently :) I have no words. I think this is the best outside toy and defenetely zero competition from any other sand box on the market. We did dig, trust me , we always dig and compare and view and read all the reviews and so this was very informed purchase yet we really were not ready to be beauty stunned by it. Oh.. in all fairness.. the driving wheel faded after one year from red to orange but do you think it looks bad? on the contrary, we liked the red and I was watching it fading but now it faded and it looks just so darn cute again. I asked kids if I shoud order replacement and they screamed NOOOOOOOOO! so orange it is... but mind this.. it sits in the full sun full draft and total rain all year round and s I think that it is perfectly build. oh btw.. we had quite few super strong winds and storms here through a year and I was pretty sure before the first came that we can kiss our canopy goodbye..and then the winds were blowing neighbors chairs over the yeard and the canopy did not move an inch! it is so solid. Sand - it can take up to 400lbs (translates to 8 small bags :) of it or it can take as little as 200 lbs it is really only 4 little bags .. we started with little and we kept adding and adding and adding.. and it was fun at any amount. I would say you need some 4 bags to begin with they are 50 lbs each and at toysrus they run under 5 bucks each... you are totally cool with 6 bags and I woulds ay 8 of them would be almost too much, it would be for us ;) It is very roomy, at some point we watched kids playing "let's see how many can fit in the boat" game and I don't recommend it but they were smarter and older kids so they were pretty careful, but it fit 12 of them but you could not tell them apart ha ha ha.. I would say on average we have 6 kids in it and another 2 in and out as they play so total of 8 kids is always happily engaged in it and the smaller the kdis the more can get in or on they like to swarm on it.. on the sides, on the benches and on the little side benches/shelves. I titled this review the KID MAGNET and I can't imagine better word for it, it is total Kid Magnet. Frankly it magnetized adults too as whenever we have parents over with kids parents like to sit nearby and watch kids playing inside as there is something magical in it and it is beautiful thing to watch. I totally recommend it. We had set it up around Easter last year and that was perfect idea as we squized so much play time from it through the year. we originally wanted to wait till summer but that played out much better. Kids just love to play in it so much and everybody knows how therapeutic the sand play is so.. what else to ask for? I can watch them from outside or from the window as I do stuff at home and everybody happy.
