The storage box was better than anticipated.  It took about 30 minutes to assemble but it is sturdy and looks great.  I read some comments stating that it is not water tight but I purchased it anyway given that it is for pool toys/stuff.  As it turns out, we just had three days of torrential downpours and the interior of the box and its contents remained dry.  The box is not under a covered roof either.  I saw similar items on on other website for nearly $1000.  The cost of this box is extremely reasonable and looks and performs great.
