The box itself is fine and relatively easy to assemble. One note of caution, though: The spring hinge is much too strong for the weight of the lid, which makes it harder to open/close than necessary and also potentially dangerous. Lifting it open requires more effort than expected and then it snaps open due to the strength of the springs. Closing also requires more force than it should and you need to be careful not to pinch a finger under the lid. Due to this it's not likely a small child could lift the lid, but when it snaps open it could cause injury if a little one's face was over the lid. I will need to buy a separate latch for the lid.
