As other reviews mention, the instructions are terrible. I ended up with the sides of the box in backward. Fixing the mistake would have meant taking the whole thing apart. I ordered two of these boxes. I admit I was swayed by the vast reduction from the usual price. If I had paid the usual price, I would be furious with this purchase. At the marked down price, I would say I got my money's worth. The box is no more attractive than any other plastic box. What it has going for it is the size. I was able to put a large number of pool items in the box.
