This was the perfect size to hold 10 larger cushions for our patio furniture, as well as a few throw pillows.  My teen son assembled the unit, needing help only when it was time to attach the lid and slow-close mechanism.  A couple of the  spots where screws are were slightly off-line, but the unit still went together well.  We have only had one big rain so far, but the cushions seemed to stay dry.
