Beautiful piece, difficult assembly.  You definitely need two people. At some point in the directions, apparently the trunk flips so when my husband and I reached the final step, the pre-drilled holes for the hinges were on the opposite side.  Rather than to take the entire trunk apart and start again, we measured and drilled new holes for the hinges.  Even with exact measurements, the trunk lid wouldn't fully close.  Took us multiple attempts to rig it so the lid lays flush but now the lid won't lock in open position.  Not as functional as I would like, but still get compliments on how it looks in the room.
