This is a nice metal box. I think that it will work well for keeping things safe from our squirrel infested deck. The metal joinings fit together well. Its relatively heavy. However, assembly is a PITA. The holes for the screws are sort of aligned and don't even think about trying to assemble it without a power screwdriver - it took an incredible amount of torque to get the screws in and seated. Screws for holding the bottom in place could be longer. The lift arms installed easily and seem to work well. So, we filled it with cushions etc, it has snowed and we'll see how things look in the Spring.
