I wanted one of these but the prices were all over the board. I liked this style but wasn't sure what color it was. I finally broke down and ordered it through Walmart.com. It came well wrapped and the pieces all looked good. The color was the dark taupe mushroom color that I was looking for. I put it together after reading all the comments. it goes together real well until you hit the last piece and try to get it to click at the bottom. i couldn't get it. i heated it with a hair dryer and finally got a come along strap and tighted it around the last band. i used a framing mallet to wack the joints at the bottom and got the thing to click into place. i took it out to the gazebo. The next morning it had come apart again so I put the come along on it. and put screws on the inside where I thought it would work. it came apart agian so I strapped it and wacked it with the mallet and glued the connections where the clips come through. one of my clips was a little deformed either from shipping or repeated pressure. I let it sit in the heat three days and it finally is holding.....so far. It shouldn't be this hard a but I'm one of those people who is bound and determined to make things work instead of sending them back. If you aren't good with tools, you may want to get help or skip this product. Otherwise it's nice looking, the lid latches on after you spin it a it and it swerves as a nice little serving table in my gazebo. It also holds tools,, pillows, and a variety of things you keep outside. It's heavy when it's full so it doesn't blow around. Also serves as a footstool, an extra seat or even a cooler if you line it with a heavy plastic bag.
