Had I picked this in a store as is, I would have demanded a markdown. Its disappointing that someone would ship this as if it was intact.
Immediately out of the box I knew something was wrong as the lid wasnt lined up correctly. Turns out the left hinges were not screwed in but I soon realized thats because they have nothing to keep them in place. Even after fastening them, they come out again each time the lid is opened.
Only keeping it because its too much hassle to return an item of this size. Outside of that, its exactly what I wanted but annoyed with the faulty hinge. Bought as a bench to go next to a king size bed. I have also sat on it with the rescrewed lid on (for what thats worth, will need to keep a screwdriver permanently near it) and it was sturdy enough.
Disappointed
