My husband and I purchased this toy box as a gift for our grandson's first Christmas.  We built it together for him to make it a more sentimental and special gift.  The assembly instructions were clear, it was pretty easy to build and didn't take too much time. Of course my husband did most of the work and I assisted.  The toy box is nice in size and has a deep rich color.  It looks very nice in his room.  The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because the lid didn't close smoothly and rubbed a bit when we shut it close.  Other than that its a beautiful piece and I would recommend it.
