Couldn't have been easier to put together, wham, bam, thank you Ma'am! Cute as a button with a handy slow-closing lid. Worth every penny! It has tons of storage space even though I bought the smaller size. Perfect for packing away throw blankets and DVD's. The cats use it as a bit of a cat bed, too! Win-win all the way around. Very happy with my purchase. I will consider these for just about any room in the house.
