Several of the wood pieces were not cut properly and did not fit together without modification. The dovetails of the deep boxes did not mesh together properly. It's as if the cut the dovetails before two of the pieces were properly dried, so they shrank after the dovetails were cut. Trying to force the dovetails together caused the wood pieces to crack. The super boxes did fit together correctly. But one of the indents on the super for hanging the frames was not cut deep enough. In the photo, you can see that the remaining wood is wider on one box compared to the other. On the one that was left too wide, the frames cannot be inserted.The waxing on the boxes was uneven, with some areas appearing devoid of wax. The boards appeared to be constructed from thin strips of wood glued together, which would be okay by itself. But the boards were cut to uneven thickness. So you can see surface of the box is uneven, with some parts sticking out more than others. This also causes gaps where the boxes join together.The boxes did not come with screws or predrilled holes for screwing. The instructions only mention pushing the dovetails together, but that does not seem secure. Glue doesn't hold since glue doesn't stick to waxed wood. I ended up nailing them together since it was fast to do with a nail gun, and nails inserted at 90 deg angles at the corners should hold it together securely.The foundations themselves appear to be good quality, with a good coating of wax. I always like to add more wax myself to give the bees a head start building comb.The VEVOR hives get discounted a bit more than other hives on Amazon, such as MayBee and Pollibee. But I've had much better experience buying hives from those brands. Not worth the money saved.

I have absolutely no issues with this unit. It is very well made and everything fits nicely during assembly. Excellent value compared to other units on the market.

Instructions and pictures are hard to follow, by someone who has not put one together before. After that it gets really easy. If a side wont slide into the other side, slide the other side into the first one. Everything fit really tight and solid. Pretty good item all in all.

When the box arrived. I saw it had contact information in England, Germany and as well in China. It was made in China. Surprise!! But you could deduct it might also be sold in Europe. What made me believe it is a good quality product.The manual was in color and had good quality and only in English. I was expecting German and Chinese as well.The hive is good in general. It also has a queen excluder and an entrance reducer.It was very easy to assemble. You need a rubber mallet to put the boxes together. I really liked the dovetail feature as other mentioned on their reviews.They even provide the nails to secure the frames. You don't need anything else but a hammer and a rubber mallet.Most ppl will be very happy with it.I prefer a screened bottom board. This one comes with a solid bottom board.So I had to buy one, also a hive stand.The observatory window is just on one side of the box. I was expecting to be on both sides like the Flowhive. The observation windows, aka window, was the feature that made me go for this product.It also has some openings. Take a look at the picture.I have mixed feelings about it. It might help to ventilate the hive during the summer. But I am afraid beetles, ants and other insects might get in. A strong hive can defend itself, a weaker one ....The frames are good. Also the waxed foundations.I like to have a wedged top bar frame. Where the bees build their own comb. I try not to use the foundations. Unfortunately, you can't modify those here. So I had to buy those too.As I mentioned, this hive is complete and you can start beekeeping right away.I got a hive stand, screened bottom board and wedged top bar based on my preference. You don't need it.

The supers are pretty hard to get together but once you do, they are nice looking and can't wait to get bees in it and use the viewing windows.
