It would have been virtually impossible to assemble this box with the Allen wrench that was enclosed.  Some of the holes did not match up well and if I did not have a drill, I would never have gotten it together.  Some of the pieces were a little warped which also made assembly more difficult.  With that said, I liked the box after I finally got it together. My cushions are too large for the lid to close but I thought I had measured correctly. But it is on my screened in porch and it is staying there
