Assembly was easy.

Easy assembly

Quality of product is good. Just a couple of damaged parts. Contact customer service, as Amazon doesn’t handle issues with this brand. Customer service was prompt and updates were reasonable. Once I got a tracking number for product. It’s seems as if product is stuck in China for over a month now. No updates from DHL website.

Two get 3 dovetail corner boxes with frames, lid, inner cover and base is an incredible buy for the money. The wax finish looks good and is more weather resistant than the whitewash I see on some other boxes. The frames have the taper sides which is a far superior design for bee access. Many mass produced hives I see use straight sides which is an inferior design. A few nit-picks which knocked off 1 star for me: Base is basic. Screen and bottom board are essential for inspecting hives for mites. Today every hive needs mite control. Nails were short on number, some missing heads, some with shovel tips, one bent. Nails are cheap, add a few extras to offset the defective ones or ones bent due to a knot in the wood. One frame side wasn't finished being cut and was unusable. Small things but for a beginner, this becomes a major obstacle. I have other parts I could substitute in. A beginner probably doesn't and would find these obstacles a major setback.

I've been keeping bees for awhile, and this is the best quality boxes I have come across. Granted, they are more expensive, but worth it for quality and cosmetics.

Easy to assemble. Coated with beeswax, so your bee colony can move right in.

Bottom board was completely falling apart with staples coming apart. Several of the frame pieces had severe knots and warping. Was short 8 nails. Considering you have to hammer 120 nails, you'd think there would be a few extra nails and frame parts? Nope. I'd go with another brand if I could do it again.

great stuff

Opening the box was daunting to see all the pieces to assemble. It quickly turned into a rewarding afternoon project. Very happy with quality so far my hive has been in place since June. It looks great and the view ports let you seen the hive grow and progress. I will likely order a second one for next year.

The media could not be loaded. From start to finish the VEVOR has had great products - delivered to my door and priced well.
