Took 20 minutes to put together, easy if you have someone to help hold things together while you put the screws in.  Cheap wood, the side of the lid was cracked but will be easy to fix with wood glue.  Box should work well but I'm keeping it under the cover of my front porch to protect from the rain-would probably not do well out in the weather. It is very yellow in color but actually matches my oak front door pretty well.  Don't expect to store anything heavy or very small in it; the bottom of the box is slatted so small items could fall through and the slats are not very strong so heavy items might break it.  The sides are also pretty weak/thin.  But for what I'm using it for (UPS/Fedex delivery box) it should work just fine.
