I liked this so much I ended up buying two and did pay extra for the gray. Its a solid, decent quality build and versatile. The flaps are attached by strong hinges and its a good size when opened and a handy size closed. I wouldn't advise using this as a workbench when opened, but for other casual or everyday use its a good purchase. I ignored the instructions when assembling the second one and built it upside down, but the only difference that made was the position of the shelf so I have left it at that. Recommend.
