I was excited to get this but found the material light weight and a broken piece that I epoxied to fix. Assembly instructions were plain, with pictures so easy to follow.  I used a mallet to force the pieces to fit together.  The lid raises with hinges which were easily installed.  The lid is a bit warped on one side, i.e., leaving a gap when closed.  The sun may flatten that over time..  The size is great.
