It wasn't that hard to assemble. Just follow the instructions thoroughly. The size is as advertised. We fit 3 folding chairs, a milk crate with misc. Items, & garden supplies/tools. Plenty of room left. It's very sturdy. We are going to look for a cushion as now we have additional seating area in our small patio.  Met our expectations.  Lowe's, Home Depot, Big Lots, etc had smaller boxes that priced higher & not weather resistant. Great value!
