Enormous pain in the rear to assemble, and I sat that an experienced Ikea veteran. The directions were fine IMO, it was just everything else that sucked. I managed to deform the plastic slightly trying to shove the pieces together so there is forever a little gap in the back corner. However, it is adorable, sturdy, and water proof (even with the gap at the bottom). I am keeping my grill coals, hammock, and kindling in it and all three stay bone dry. Looks extra cute with a couple of pillows. It would also work nicely as a coffee table, the top is nice and flat.
