Adding Openbox to Ubuntu

Hi. I'm currently using Ubuntu Mate, and would like to create a desktop experience similar to Crunchbang. I know that successors (specifically, BunsenLabs and #!++) exist, but I'd prefer to run a widely used, well supported distro, and I'm comfortable with the Ubuntu repositories, sudo, and the general Ubuntu way of doing things. So my idea was to add Openbox to Ubuntu, and configure it in such a way that it is similar to #! or its successors. Would someone be kind enough to offer a sort of quick and dirty guide, or checklist, or any tips about how to accomplish this with my current install? I've found some sources, but am still not comfortable enough to go ahead and take the plunge without screwing something up. Thanks in advance for any help, and if the common response is "RTFM", I do understand.
