So I had been looking for a Deck Box that would be large enough to hold all my patio cushions in the event of inclement weather. I settled on this for the look and the dimensions.  The assembly instructions were the best I have ever seen; step by step w/pictures; and parts all well labeled.  The only negative is that some of the pieces (specifically the black corner connectors) looked a bit scuffed; like they had either been used somewhere; or were stored in a warehouse and things were dragged over them.  Purely cosmetic; the scuffs didn't affect the assembly or end product.   It looks and feels sturdy when fully assembled.  The lid has nice hydraulic?? hinges so that once lid is opened; it will stay open; and won't slam shut. Overall very pleased.
