This item is NOT worth the money. It is not waterproof even though Wayfair said it was in answering a question about waterproof.  It was easy to put together however the instructions may as well been written in Chinese. But if a person has average common sense it is not hard to put together. By the way if you put it together and the lid chains don't allow the lid to fully open then you put sides on the wrong side. Switch sides will allow the chain to be  attached so the lid will fully open. When fully assembled it does look nice except the sides are not squared to each other and it looks somewhat catywampus.
