I use this outside my carport door to stash grocery bags and other items that go from car to home- and my collection of donation items that piles up each month as I clean closets  attics.  It was somewhat easy to assemble but one screw anchor was placed badly- I was unable to attach the bottom there so I used a tie-wrap. The bottom of the chest is plastic so it won’t hold anything much heavier than 10-15 lbs. that said, it’s safe to sit on and looks better than a pile of stuff!
