Super easy to put together. I didnt end up using the hardware for the lid because it was quite obviously going to break the first time I used it. That was fine by me because the lid doesnt really need to be held open for more than a couple of seconds. I was disappointed that the bench was less sturdy / durable than I wanted it to be. The benches I was originally looking at sold out but this one had really good reviews. Im not saying that it is a bad bench but it is definitely overpriced. The bottom of the storage is more like a super hard cardboard. The wood also had small Nicks in it from being dinged they were very small and I did not even notice them until I was taking pictures. It was packaged well which was good. All in all I would give this bench three stars. Mainly because I just overpriced. It is good for a small entryway or maybe a kids room but I wouldnt count on it lasting very long. It should probably be priced around $80 to $90 instead of almost $200
Decent
