This deck box is fabulous! It holds quite a lot, and also serves as additional seating on my large-ish balcony.  A male friend helped me to assemble it; and, but for his help, I would not have been able to do as good a job as the two of us did in assembling it.  In my view, two people make for an easier assembly....one person holds or clamps the pieces together (with hands, or with a wrench), while the other screws in the screws.  It took us 1-1/2 hours.
