It's bigger than expected. But that's great b/c we needed it. Put together w/in 15 mins & didn't really need the instructions too much. Snaps together in a "snap". Construction seems good & sturdy. In terms of people sitting on it when my daughter & I sat on it, it seemed to "bow" somewhat. I would think kids can sit on it fine but adults would need to sit on the edge to keep from bowing. Over time I'd like to see how it holds up with the sun & rain. All in all so far I am very happy with this Deck Box. Price was great ( on sale) & free shipping is always nice! 

Pros: All pros
