I put this together myself in about an hour.  Directions were pretty strait forward.  The trunk seems pretty solid.  One frustration was that The very last part I attached was defective.  I called and the company sent a replacement that arrived in 2 weeks.  My only concern with the trunk is that when it closes (it does close nice and slowly due to the “hinges/shock absorbers”, but it doesn’t close with the lid lock on the outside of the trunk.  The trunks front piece is slightly bowed and it throws off the closing.  I have to lift the lid slightly and push the bottom in.  Since its a rental house I know this will rarely get done.
