It took maybe 30-40min to put together, which isn’t bad at all. Some parts were harder to align, as I’m a single person, so maneuvering the object for drilling was a must. But it turned out well it fits six shoes in the main cabin and three pairs of large boots (each boot stacked on its pair), or you could stack spare shoes in there. Plenty of room for me. And the seat lifts up to fit a variety of things which cleaned up my previous situation. The seat is firm and comfy to sit on.
