Actually quite light weight. Easy to snap together, as it has no screws or parts that can rust. Very solid. My husband is using it to store his outdoor grilling supplies. We are in the middle of storm season and it has kept everything completely dry inside. ￼the only thing I found less than stellar is the lid. They show people sitting on it in their ad picture. Maybe kids could sit on it regularly. It is not going to hold up for an adult to make a habit of it. It is just somewhat flimsy.
