I can recommend this cajon kit without reservation. The instructions are simple to follow, and absolutely everything you need to complete construction is incuded. There is far more glue than you need, and it dries in 20 minutes. You get a big bit of extra wood to help make sure everything is all square, and a couple of robust straps to hold it together while the glue is drying. There are even a couple of big sheets of sandpaper. You could just glue it together and leave it, as everything is quite smooth, but the sandpaper adds an extra level of finish at the edges. I have stained mine to fit in with the decor, (the wood takes stain or paint nicely) but you can leave them as delivered and they look good. There are four feet and a couple of snares included too. All-in-all it comes together into a very playable instrument. I did wonder if I should add some screws for additional strength, but decided not to. It has proven very strong: I can tilt it back on the rear feet and shift around while I'm playing without any creaks. They take a fair old bashing and I have three now because quite honestly they also can be used as a very useful coffee table! Read full review

Before buying I checked out a number of YouTube videos around the construction and sound of this Cajon. I found them all to be very helpful and clear. Postage was very fast and I was impressed when the package arrived. The main body panels are grooved to fit together and it's easy to form the body using the spacer and straps provided. Following the instructions step by step was clear and simple - even my 7 year old was able to piece it all together. When finishing up our kit I used a router to tidy up all the edges before sanding and waxing. This could be done with the sandpaper provided but if you have access to a router I'd suggest running it around the edge.

Easy assembly, good instructions and didn't take long to build. I built the sides, top and bottom and left it to glue overnight but you could do it in one go. Some diy experience useful but there is a online video. Very impressed. Just need to get around to putting a finish on it.
