Garden storage box
Nice looking box easy to assemble, waterproof and tough, others have said you might need to weight it down but where we have it in a corner it’s fine
I got it to hold four larger seat cushions and they fit as can be seen in 2nd pic(photobombed by my dog) but would hold up to six smaller ones
Very happy with my purchase practical and attractive
Great outdoor storage
Item arrived on delivery date given which in my opinion was very fast.
The storage box is very easy to assemble you just click into slots no tools needed.
Good size and seems sturdy but once filled will make it more sturdy depending what you use it for.
Really happy with this produc
Perfect!
Put this together on my own in 5 mins. It’s perfect for my 8 outdoor dining chair seat pads. 7 fit beautifully plus one flat on top – see photo. I’ve immediately ordered a second one for the back cushions! Can’t comment on the weatherproof aspect of the item, as ours is stored in a shed.
Proper good
I use these on my building sites, YES, building sites. Quick and easy to assemble and offer great protection to power tools if the rain sets in. Lots of room, we have them dotted around so that that tools can be protected quickly if it rains.
We leave cheap and inexpensive equipment in these through all weather over night and weekends and I have hot had one leak. I do understand one of the reviews that mentions the lid blowing off, Easy enough to solve, a bit of string on a cable tie through the provided “LOCKING RINGS” this is not a safe but will stop the lid blowing off. As for the entire unit blowing around…..Well, put something heavy in it and there is no problem, we have stored 15 KG of material in one these, picked it up and moved it with the integrated handles with no failure. THESE ARE GREAT
Strong and simple!
Good strong box, simple to put together..I bought this to make a high feeder for my GSP which has turned out to be a brilliant buy, we sit his bowl station on top and he has room to put his paws on it thus keeping his throat and stomach in a straight line.

Fulfilled requirements
Had my son to put it together. Don’t think it was difficult, it’s just I’m hopeless putting things together. He did it in minutes . It’s rained a few times, I have it out on my decking, and so far I haven’t had any water getting in. Looks good, just the right size, reasonable price. I’m happy

Super useful
Looks great not to big not to small it’s great!! Waterproof and very simple to assemble. Very good quality.
Great storage box
Took 5 minutes to click together. Already had a larger box so know they’re good value for money. Had lots if heavy rain recently and contents of the box have remained dry.
Storage box
Great little storage box. Using it on the patio as a side table as well as for storage. Useful for putting cushions in, furniture and umbrella covers and general bits and pieces. It’s waterproof as I’ve left a book in there and it was fine.
Perfect!
Purchased as safe place for parcels & deliveries when we’re out – perfect! Everything is always dry, so easy to assemble, just what I needed
Neat storage uni
Arrived yesterday. I watched the three min video on putting it together and you definitely don’t need 3mins. Super easy.
Fits 6 seat cushions for our garden dining chairs plus the sides for our gazebo.
Will update on whether it’s waterproof once we’ve had the downpours predicted.
Looks very smart and neat in the garden.
Good quality
This is a brilliant box for small item storage like my grandchildrens outside toys easy to assemble and very sturdy

Good little box, idea for patio furniture cushions
Assembled in as few minutes. Loops for a padlock do not fully align. But fitting a paddock is a bit of a laugh as the hinges could be broken in seconds and unless it’s full of really heavy items the box can be just carried away!
Anyway ideal for what I purchased it for and after a down pour and high winds showed no sign of water ingress and with a large stone inside it and thick wire horseshoe through padlock hops the box stayed where it was put and lid remained closed.

Perfect size
We wanted something to keep the chair cushions in when not in use and this is perfect. It’s waterproof too abs light enough it can be easily moved. Easy to build, the parts just clip together with no tools needed.
Great buy!
Purchased 5 based on previous feedback and was very impressed. Easy to assemble and look great. I use 3 alongside each other for rubbish and recycling, 1 on the patio for cushions and 1 for storing bird seed, nuts, hedgehog food etc.
Garden looks super tidy now!
Good for the price
I liked that this didn’t require screws and was easy enough to assemble, despite instructions being a bit scant. It works well enough though we’ve had to place four bricks in the base (at each corner) to stabilise it and stop it blowing away in high winds.
I see one customer has reinforced it with wood and a handle – love that look and would love to recreate it – I’ve been inspired and purchased a metal handle to attach to it. Not so sure how go about the wood panels but heyhoe.

Parcel box
I leave this by the front door and most couriers leave packages in there and run – which I don’t mind too much during COVID times.
Very easy to construct (no tools required). Will probably blow away in the wind so I have left a paving slab inside.
Colour is a bit hard to make out from your screen but calling it dark grey is stretching things a bit.

At this price it's a bargai
At this price point to expect anything more would be silly. I have three & one has let some water in during the very heavy rainfalls (maybe the lid lifted in the wind as I can see no other reason). I wouldn’t sit on one, but there again I am Very Heavy (29st)
Great purchase
I love my new “summer patio box”. I keep all my summer outdoor things in there over summer. I have one in my garage too! Has survived a few downpours and everything is completely dry . Very easy to assemble.
Very good value and very sturdy
A lovely outdoor storage box nice and big for storing all my plant pots tools and sprays and Definitely waterproof just what I need
Great little box
Very pleased with this box. Exactly as description. It has stood up to the amount of rain we have had recently, everything inside nice and dry. Good size for a balcony. Seat cushions, spare compost (small) and other gardening bits all fit in easily. As I haven’t found a table I like yet I have been using this box instead and it is sturdy enough..

Totally lived up to expectations!
Less than 3 minutes to put it together – easy peasy. Very happy and pleased with product. Only time will tell how robust and waterproof it will be, but it’s clearly bigger and better quality than a similar box I got from Argos.
Nice looking small storage box
Ridiculously easy to put together. Pretty much worth the 25 price tag. This is lightweight so needs weighting down from the wind. It would not be secure against a thief. So this as a nice looking lightweight storage unit for smaller items. Have sensible expectations, and you won’t be disappointed!
Very handy box
Easy to fit together. We only wanted it to store some cushions for a bench, so it was very light and it gets quite windy here. A couple of bricks in the bottom made it ideal. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy agai
Bought this to store my hot tub chemicals and small patio cushions. Despite other reviews saying lid was hard to fit, it was actually the easiest bit. After a couple of minutes working out how everything clicked together, the box went together in 5mins. Just laid the top on the box and put a gentle pressure on the hinges and it all clicked into place. Hint? It was a warm day so the plastic was fairly flexible so don’t try and assemble it if it’s cold. Haven’t tried it in bad weather yet hence lower star rating and the box floor is actually on the ground. If it leaks I’ll update this later.

Watch the price of these
Great product in every way except price, saw very same box, make and all for half the price I paid. I’ve never minded paying a little more for the convenience of Amazon but double is way too much.
Excellent Storage Box
Excellent storage box, easy to put together. Wish I have bought 2 before it went up by 30. If it comes down in price I am grabbing two more. Excellent buy.
Very pleased
Great for storing toys in the garden or as a parcel box for deliveries. Has two holes you can put a padlock through if you needed to lock it if you need to. I keep a rock in mine as the lid can blow open in bad weathe
Perfec
Love this box, perfect fir keeping my chemicals for the hot tub, plus space some cushions
Sturdy and easy to put togethe
Really pleased with this storage box, was quick delivery, so easy to put together, quite sturdy, but do think it might need a little weight so it doesn’t blow away . Love the colour, I will be using it for storage as well as a side table . Really pleased with the size, higher and wider than I expected.
doesn't let the rain i
great item for its use but the wind will lift the lid up
Sturdy and easy to assemble, great for storage.
Needed an easy to assemble sturdy box for the garden to store things in. Can confirm it’s a sturdy box and was easy to assemble. Can now store things in it that were otherwise unstored.
Sturdy
First box delivered was broken however Amazons returns was easy and new box arrived next day. Great outdoor box and sturdy enough. Obviously you would need to fill it or screw it down as the wind could take it away. I would buy another as quality is good and easy to assemble.
Very pleased with this.
So far so good and watertight after months of ghastly weather
Used it as extended pantry initially but now it has outdoor cushions in it.
Very pleased with purchase.
Great product!
This box is fab… I keep it outside to store empty flower pots and half used compost bags. It dropped a star purely because the item fell off the radar and never arrived, forcing me to reorder. The seller doesn’t seem to have a grasp on the delivery.
Easy to assemble
Easy to assemble, sturdy and weatherproof. Keeps the little outside furniture cushions dry, would work for bags of bbq charcoal or small tools equally as well. Nice and unobtrusive on the patio. Great buy.
Does what it says
Easy to assemble. Does what it says. Wind and rain proof. It has my smoking wood and coals and didn’t leak a single water drop. It took a while to ship but other than that very happy with i
Good at the price I paid
I paid 36.99 in April. I wouldn’t pay more than that. Certainly not at its current price. Good product. Keeps parcels dry.
Brilliant.
Brilliant. Great value. Sturdy. Good size. Waterproof. Usefull for lots of different things. We have it at front of the house.
If it has something in it won’t blow away as others have mentioned.
Disappointed found it cheaper elsewhere
Very easy to assemble and waterproof. However have now found it cheaper from Argos.
Good size
Arrived quickly. I want to use it as a table & blanket storage for the garden. Bigger than what I expected but is great. Easy to assemble too.
Just the job.
Easy to assemble. Just the thing for hiding garden essentials that you need out all the time ie ant powder, plant food, watering can roses etc. If the stuff in the bottom is heavy enough then it won’t blow away.
Great box!
What a great box for boots, wellies and dog-walking paraphernalia! Also works as a seat for putting on / taking off boots, and a handy surface for other uses. Easy to put together singlehandedly, and has proved to be sturdy and weatherproof.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Wind blows the top open. Secure top through lugs to prevent this.
A life saver.
Great product came on time . Simple to assemble just clicks together and pretty sturdy. Ideal for keeping stinking muddy Rugby boots in.
Would recommend this product.
Great for parcels to be delivered i
My Hermes lady advised that she wouldn’t be allowed to leave parcels in view anymore. So I got this box and she loves it! Unobtrusive and a good size for most parcels.
The perfect job!
Purchased this as we wanted to keep our wood dry for use in our fire pit. Easiest thing I have ever had to assembly and very well made and sturdy. 30k of wood neatly stacked ready for use. This exceeded my expectations and would not hesitate to recommend!
Thank you Amazon....
Awesome delivery storage box. easy to assemble, and once in place I’ll drill a couple of tine holes and insert Cable ties to secure this to my fence and we are good to go.
10 / 10.
Great little storage box, good value!
Really easy to click together, hinges seem a bit flimsy but lid opens with ease. Smaller than expected but that’s just my dodgy measurements. Using it for storing logs and kindling. Not had a down pour yet so time will tell if it keeps out the rain. Very happy with product!
Good overall
Had to put a small sack of cement in it to hold it down if it’s windy. Use it when expecting packages because delivery driver’s often come when I’m out shopping or in the shower. Overall a good product and easy to assemble without any tools.
Large enough, sturdy and waterproof
We’ve used this to put shoes and wellies in next to our back door.
The box is really easy to put together, about 5 minutes. Just clip everything together.
It’s really sturdy and waterproof and holds everything we need.
TOTALLY WATERPROOF
I bought this for parcel delivery by my gate. I looked for a long time and bought two others which were not waterproof but this one is. It’s big enough to take larger parcels including a large bag of dog food. Really pleased with the quality and the sturdiness of this outdoor storage box. I have put a concrete block in it to keep it anchored in the wind.
Great value and good quality
I can confidently say that this box has survived outside in all weathers since purchase last summer and still looks like new. No leaks and no fading. Nice one.
Pretty big
This was a lot bigger than I realised but that’s great. I use this for parcel deliveries and it keeps everything dry. I put a few bricks in the bottom and it seems sturdy enough.
Perfect for wellies
Bought this to have by our front door to store our wellies in to avoid tramping mud into the house. Really generous capacity, tall adult wellies fit perfectly, we get two adult wellies, a pair of walking shoes, and 3 pairs of kids wellies in (kids just get thrown on top of one another rather than standing up) and there is still height left over. Has kept them all dry and is easy to clean. It seems to have doubled in price recently on here though so shop around

Storage for cushions
Brought this to store cushions in for our new garden furniture. Ideal size and does not take up much room. I have placed a brick on the lid to stop it being blown open and broken in high winds.
Good storage unit. Price ok.
Bought this to store wellies outside. Good capacity, easy to assemble. Used for parcel deliveries too.
Currently have an adult pair of wellies and 2 kids pairs and there’s still plenty of room left.
Lid can be padlocked too for extra security if necessary. (Padlock not included though).
Completely waterproof and not had any issues with wind blowing the lid up and that’s after a spell of high winds. Think price a tad high for what is essentially a plastic box.

Good quality box
This storage box is easy to assemble single-handed and looks smart enough for use indoors or out. The hinged lid closes securely, and in outside use provides excellent protection for the contents from adverse weather. If the box is placed in an exposed location, though, it might need weighting down to cope with strong winds.
Just the job
Perfect size for deliveries and anything too big gets left on top. Really easy to assemble and robust once done. Does need some sort of weight in the bottom if kept outside but is totally water proof
Sturdy and weatherproof
Excellent! Bought one of these a few weeks ago to store pet supplies. Has not let any water in despite some terrible weather. Literally took a minute to assemble and is nice and sturdy. Thought it was so good i ordered another as an outdoor toy box.
Does what it says Keter always delive
Size and dimensions make it useful for indoor and outdoor storage very easy to assemble ( watch video first to… warm up) and really wheatherproof as always with Keter, also easy cleaned with damp wipe
Versatile and not much of an eyesore
This is the second one I’ve bought. This one I use to store my hot tub chemicals. It important to keep them dry and this does exactly what I need it to. With the added benefit of being able to use it as a seat for short periods of time.
Good but a little ligh
Ideal for my needs as I don’t have a garden shed but still want the convenience of easily accessible tools. The only down side is how easily the wind can blow the lid open.
Good for what I wanted it fo
Just needed something outside for when parcels are delivered & we are not in so perfect for that
Popped a couple of bricks in just to make sure it doesn’t disappear on a windy day
Would buy agai
Well this is a first; taking a picture of a plastic box! Really good piece of kit though. It’s been outside all winter tucked away in an alcove by the patio doors. Everything inside stayed completely dry. Was very easy to assemble as well. I mean there’s only so much excitement you can attribute to a storage box but as far as it goes, I’d definitely say I’m pleased with it and will buy another as and when the situation requires.
Great parcel box
I needed a parcel box to put by front door. This fits the bill perfectly. It’s a bit lightweight but that’s not a problem as it’s in a sheltered position. Very easy to assemble, looks good and feels well made. Big enough for most parcels and has saved them from being left in the open.
Fit for purpose
Was sceptical at 1st wether it wud be waterproof but it’s fantastic. Very easy to assemble and super light. Awesome purchase. Happy customer. I do recommend Keter brand over others.
Amazon Parcels
Every time, Amazon delivery men puts my purchases in this box and send the photos of delivery proof, if gives me a great pleasure of this purchase! Great box,it really is is made for parcel box! Light weight and surprisingly sturdy & roomy for 2 or 3 medium sized box and no water leakage detected so far. Great.
Great, but light lid
This is exactly what we wanted, bought two boxes and they were easy to assemble and they fit well on our patio. The only snag is that in strong winds, the lid may blow open. So if you need a really waterproof box, make sure to weigh down the lid. Then they are almost completely waterproof. But don’t store cushions in them over winter 🙂
good size
Although this was intended for outside storage i found it fit well inside , good size easy to assemble and can use outside if and when i need too.

Spacious storage
I purchased two of these in the end. I have one either side of my front door: one for logs and the other for the milkman and parcel deliveries. I found them easy to construct. They seem tough and can be cleaned down with a watering can. Logs and parcels are nice and dry, even in the horrid weather we have been having. They look quite smart too.

Impressed
I brought 2 of these. Box 1 I use for all my dressmaking materials. We are shielding so Box 2 is used for parcel deliveries. It has been outside now for about 3 months and it is still in good condition. However, if used outside it does need a brick or something heavy to keep the lid from blowing open.
Put together in under a minute.
I bought this box for my garden so any parcels delivered can be put in to stop them getting wet. Just the right size and after watching the video before buying I put it together in less than a minute, it’s very easy just clips together and you can also use a padlock on the front if you need to. Brilliant buy and well worth the money.

Keter Outdoor Storage Box
This storage bin has been a great purchase since I use it as a parcel box. It has saved me trying to get downstairs at breakneck speed to receive a delivery from delivery drivers who are in a great hurry. They very quickly adapted to leaving the deliveries in the box, ringing the bell, and going on their way. I really recommend this box for the adaptability, the quality of the product and the value.

Awesome
Love it. Took 5 mins to assemble, didn’t need any instructions or video. The biggest bonus is having left it by my front door it magically filled with packets and post without me having to ask or explain!
Just bought another for garden. Great.
Exactly what I was hoping for!
Loved how quick and easy this was to assemble – the video that said it only took a few minutes was absolutely correct. I wanted the box to store food for garden birds outside my back door (to avoid having to go to the shed!) and it’s ideal for this: holds all the different foodstuffs with room to spare, and seems to be completely waterproof. I’d thought about a dustbin or plastic crate, but this looks so much better and can be used as a patio side table when the weather is better. It was delivered very quickly and was well packaged – I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Perfect for parcels!
Now we buy so much more online we needed somewhere for couriers to leave the parcels and this fits the bill perfectly. It takes a couple of minutes to click together, looks good and is weatherproof. It weighs nothing so I put a housebrick inside to stop it blowing away when it’s empty. Much better than getting packages out of the wheelie bin, highly recommended!
Perfect for my needs
So easy to assemble. Sturdy, the perfect size and totally weather proof
I use it to store my hot tub essentials, including my bath robe and towels for when I get out!! Keeps them dry if it’s raining!
Just righ
Perfect for storing a few outdoor items on my balcony. There is an option of placing a small padlock to keep the lid down. It fits a few small and medium size plant pots and a few other bits. Was easy to put together and seems to be withstanding the rain. Would buy again.
Absolutely brilliant - great quality
Absolutely five star product and service – delivered next day and I assembled straight away. Really impressed. Nice size, sturdy, solid, very easy to assemble. Highly recommended.
Good weather proof storage
This box does exactly what I need. It was easy to put together took about ten minutes. I have it in my lean to with my wellies, walking boots and dog lead etc in it. Despite being under cover it still gets wet when it rains hard but is always bone dry inside. The high wind did catch the lid so I just moved it slightly and put a couple of my small plants on top and that sorted that. The lid stays open when you are getting stuff in and out which is great. It looks ok too.

Parcel delivery
Using it for parcel delivery. The lid feels a bit flimsy to me, I weigh it down with a stone. So far, very happy
This arrives as a flat pack (boxed) for self assembly and consists of 6 panels, and a set of instructions. The instruction leaflet is a double sided A3 sheet with a series of diagrams and no written instructions for each. They weren’t very good at all – and they sent me 5 of them for no reason. I laid out two on the floor (one side up each) but reverted back to the video on Amazon (of someone putting hers together in 3 minutes). The video was excellent! I recommend you use it rather than the leaflet.
So after puzzling over the instruction diagrams for 5 minutes, I watched the video and I built it in less than 5 minutes. The sides click together. There are no screws or bolts. Just click/clack, as easy as Lego!
It’s larger than I thought it would be. It can hold 20kg weight inside ( I assume they mean for lifting it as you could put much more into it if not moving it) and 100kg on top. I think it would be unwise to test that out by standing on it, but I’m sure you could sit on it safely, like a storage bench seat. It’s about the right height to do that comfortably.
It’s very lightweight though, and could easily blow across your garden in heavy wind. I’ve wedged mine against a wall between two very heavy flowerpots, to stop this from happening but I have heard the lid flapping a couple of times when it was very windy. I’m going to put a sandbag inside mine to be safe. I’d recommend putting something like a heavy flowerpot on top also. It is meant to be lockable but as that part is hidden underneath the lid front, I think it’d be very fiddly to lock it. Maybe I’d try a padlock on it if I needed to lock it for winter storage (as opening and locking it again regularly would be tricky) but that’s not what I bought this for.
I’m using mine for parcel deliveries as drivers have been leaving our parcels on the doorstep in the rain. Sometimes they don’t knock loud enough for us to hear them at the door. This box should keep the parcels dry – and out of sight – although the lid is flat with little grooves (as it’s wood panel effect) and the water sits on top when it rains. This rain water goes off the lid edges once opened, some of which goes inside. So I’d suggest giving it a wipe all over the lid – and the sides of lid – if opening it when it’s wet.
I bought this when Amazon had it reduced to 20, and I think it’s worth that. It looks well, is lightweight and weatherproof, and is large enough to hold a lot of things, and strong enough to sit on.

So after puzzling over the instruction diagrams for 5 minutes, I watched the video and I built it in less than 5 minutes. The sides click together. There are no screws or bolts. Just click/clack, as easy as Lego!
It’s larger than I thought it would be. It can hold 20kg weight inside ( I assume they mean for lifting it as you could put much more into it if not moving it) and 100kg on top. I think it would be unwise to test that out by standing on it, but I’m sure you could sit on it safely, like a storage bench seat. It’s about the right height to do that comfortably.
It’s very lightweight though, and could easily blow across your garden in heavy wind. I’ve wedged mine against a wall between two very heavy flowerpots, to stop this from happening but I have heard the lid flapping a couple of times when it was very windy. I’m going to put a sandbag inside mine to be safe. I’d recommend putting something like a heavy flowerpot on top also. It is meant to be lockable but as that part is hidden underneath the lid front, I think it’d be very fiddly to lock it. Maybe I’d try a padlock on it if I needed to lock it for winter storage (as opening and locking it again regularly would be tricky) but that’s not what I bought this for.
I’m using mine for parcel deliveries as drivers have been leaving our parcels on the doorstep in the rain. Sometimes they don’t knock loud enough for us to hear them at the door. This box should keep the parcels dry – and out of sight – although the lid is flat with little grooves (as it’s wood panel effect) and the water sits on top when it rains. This rain water goes off the lid edges once opened, some of which goes inside. So I’d suggest giving it a wipe all over the lid – and the sides of lid – if opening it when it’s wet.
I bought this when Amazon had it reduced to 20, and I think it’s worth that. It looks well, is lightweight and weatherproof, and is large enough to hold a lot of things, and strong enough to sit on.
