This was easy to assemble and has kept our outdoor cushions clean and dry. The hinges keep it open so you can use both hands to take out what you need. The inside is very large with very little space lost due to design. Taking off a star as the top has warped a bit after a year in the elements, but it still closes fine and does the job. Would suggest maybe keeping it out of the direct sunlight or rain/snow, or maybe tarping it for the winter.
