This storage box was fairly easy to put together. I had no trouble at all following the directions and it looks great with my other patio furniture. I gave it 4 ⭐️’s because the plastic was a little flimsier than I expected and the hole for the lock is really small. Would have liked the security of a larger lock on the unit, as I do think that it will break easy with one bad storm. Now, I have to run out to buy a lock that will actually fit, kinda annoying.  Would have been nice if this unit came with its own lock since it has to be a specific lock.
