@JennyJ Bearing in mind it was ages ago and clearance, has it lasted as well as you would expect considering the quality? (Wish I had seen them I like the look of it barring the slight design fault).
How much would we all think a reasonable price for something similar?
I don't know what I would pay, some bins seem expensive for what they are but I am not familiar with quality of some brands and designs and what might be acceptable for most people.
I spent some time yesterday falling down an internet wormhole checking out compost bins. Found a couple that seem not too bad. Don't want to take the opening posters topic off course.
@Rubytoo I think they've lasted better than I expected. Even treated wooden ones would have probably started rotting by now. There's a bit of damage on one of the panels where a rat (I think) chewed a hole in it. They wouldn't have been expensive even for the standards at the time, 'cos we were fairly skint back then - any extra went on paying down the mortgage.

I treated myself to triple compost bin. Made from recycled plastic...so will not rot. Extremely well made and very heavy duty. Complete with lids. It arrived flat packed with all necessary screws./instructions Very easy to put together. Yes expensive, but as visible to all who pass by I wanted something that looked good. I am delighted. It will outlive me.
That looks like an excellent system @Silver surfer , but probably beyond my budget if/when I need to replace the bins that I have. I was thinking of something less expensive and available in local shops rather than internet order only (although that's the way many things are going now). Maybe I'm being too nostalgic wishing for such things
I'm sure part of @moymoycr102337918 's project will be market research into whatever product they decide to design - materials, price points, potential market share etc. I was really just suggesting something useful and practical that I hadn't seen on the market for a long time. When we get posts on here from students asking for input/feedback for their product design projects, I sometimes wonder who would buy those (theoretical) products.
