So substantial. Great weight to this cooler, but it is easy to push around in place. The top slides very easy to open and a plus that it stays attached too. I think the fact that it doesnt even look like a cooler is the best part. Looks like a modern side table with the inside as the suprise. I plan to use it for drinks by the pool and may even store a few garden tools in it during the winter months. The size is amazing! Better in person, enjoying this find!
