Went together easily. Working alone, it took me less than half an hour. I'm using it for garden things rather than pool things, so the fact that it is weather-resistant rather than watertight is fine. I did have a moment when I took out the liner to attach it. The liner was almost fully zipped, but it was zipped inside out with about a 3" separation in the zipper itself. The only way to turn it was to pull the zipper further apart and turn it right side out. Fortunately it zipped right back up. So far so good.
