3.0 out of 5 stars Horrible quality, December 28, 2009

The reviews of this product describing a horrible quality product are unusually accurate, I learned the hard way. The bottom of the wooden box was almost completely loose right out of the box, and you can't just snap the staples back into the holes in the wood because it won't stay. If you leave it that way, the sand will seep out of the bottom as quickly as you pour it in. I had to run to Wal-Mart on Christmas eve and buy very tiny nails and tack the wooden bottom back on with a hammer. The bottom line is that if you can choose a different zen garden, you should.

2.0 out of 5 stars very cheaply made, November 24, 2009

I just received this today and while I knew to expect nothing hand crafted, I was shocked at how amazingly flimsy this thing really is. The bottom wood actually came with a huge crack; big enough to leak out all the sand. The feet were glued on with cheap glue and 3 of the 4 came off in transit. Based on the construction, I'm amazed it was even in one piece.

The reason this gets 2 stars is that the accessories are pretty decent. And the sand looks fine. If this wasn't cracked in the center, I'd most likely have kept it and it would have "worked" for its purpose. Having said that, if you are looking for a desktop zen garden, look elsewhere.
