While the actual chest is really nice. It is a pain to put together. There are "pre-marked" holes to attach the hinges, but really all it is is a tiny mark on the top. All but 2 of the 22 screws that we had to put in actual went in all the way. Even with using an electric drill and pushing down with all your weight they wont go all the way in since the wood is so thick. We just put it together so we are sure how the hinges will hold up since they aren't all completely in.
