Shipping was fast. The box arrived as expected. Assembly was quick and very easy. Since I just received it, I have not has a chance to really see how well it withstands rain/weather. It was a bit too small to fit all the cushions from my outdoor sofa; only the 3 backrest cushions and 4 decor pillows fit comfortably in the 50 gallon box - wish I would have gone with a larger size. Overall this is a great deal!
