Simplay3 Dig-Free Sharing Library for Indoor or Outdoor Use, Little Sharing Library for Neighborhoods and Schools, Made in USA

Wonderful! This is my second purchase of one of these ‘book barn’ ‘Little free library’ units. It holds up well in the weather! Assembly Instructions easy to follow. Great value for the money. Holds a good number of books. Adding the sand helps with stability. My first purchasedone is outdoors, one year now and no trouble. Hint: follow their instructions when filling and assembling and use dry sand. It’s Much easier than filling it with wet sand. =)

was skeptical at first because of the sand-weighted base, but it turned out to be extremely sturdy once filled. I bought two bags of sand and used most of it, and the whole unit felt solid after that. We’ve had a couple of pretty strong storms since setting it up, and the library stayed upright and the books inside stayed completely dry. Assembly was straightforward. I’d definitely recommend using a power screwdriver to make it easier. One small note...mine didn’t come with the “Little Free Library” sticker shown in the listing photos. I’m not sure if that was a mistake or if it’s just not included anymore. It wasn’t a big deal for me, since there are nicer sign options available on Amazon anyway. All in all, very happy with it. It looks great, holds up well, and was simple to put together.

I love this! It’s set up at the end of my driveway and I love to see our neighbors it’s use it! Very sturdy and waterproof. Such a fun addition!

I'm so excited to have this little sharing library! Several years ago we set up a Free Little Art Gallery... built it with wood. It was great fun for the neighborhood but finally the wood fell apart. Now.... with this great Simplay3 we will have a little gallery that will last! It is strong and well built! And... if the printed directions aren't enough there are several how-to assemble videos on YouTube.

Very sturdy and took roughly 125 lbs. of play sand. Very easy to set up and use. It is smaller on the inside than I was thinking, but it still held books well.

I wanted one of these forever and I’m glad I chose this one!!! Great quality, fits a lot of books and easy to put together!!!

We purchased this rather than install a permanent library, since we rent. The assembly was fairly straightforward and not difficult at all. I knew going in that it was not going to be a large, "deluxe" little library and that's fine. It's been a year and so far it's proven to be quite weatherproof; ours faces west and I have yet to see a book get soggy or even wet. I like that if we move, we can easily take it with us.

Item arrived 2 days early, and it is amazing! I took my time assembling it and it took less than an hour. Having an electric/battery drill helps greatly! The pieces fit perfectly, I can’t wait for the snow to be gone here in Cincinnati so I can get sand to fill the bottom and post and put it outside. The magnets (there are two) on the door are very strong! If anything they make the door a bit hard to open. But, I much prefer the door being hard to open than having it open so easily it gets blown open. Also, notice how the inside of the box is somewhat elevated, the door closes below the ledge. And the back of the box is slightly angled so any rain/snow/wind is pushed over the edge of the base of the box. I doubt I will ever have to worry about any moisture inside the is box. After reading reviews of wood doors on little library boxes not closing properly depending on the humidity and temps, I decided to spend the extra money for this one and super glad I did! We shall see how it lasts in the weather 365 days a year, but I’m going to guess it will handle the weather with ease.
