This is a handsome bench, with tons of room inside. The final assembled piece looks much richer than it is. The assembly was complicated by several drilling errors in the manufacturing process- the holes drilled in the lid for the hinges did not line up with the holes in the body of the trunk, which mean re-drilling them to match. This isnt a problem if youre handy with a drill, but it was definitely frustrating.
This piece takes two people to assemble, and the final product is very heavy. The directions say that you shouldnt use power tools, but as with any assembly project, a drill with hex bits and a phillips bit will help immensely.
