I like these Keter boxes, it’s used to keep recycling in, it’s our second one in 6 years. The old one is still usable, but the sun has weakend the seat after 6 years. (It can get really hot). Can sit on it and it looks really neat.
These outdoor storage boxes are simply first class and I would not hesitate to recommend. Easily assembled in less than 40 minutes without assistance, good clear instructions. They are completely waterproof and have stood up to the worst weather without failing in any way.
Pleased with the item – it seems to keep things inside dry and good value for the price. Assembly is more involved than expected, but not difficult.
Metal bars support the frame at the top which adds strength.
I put this together myself, with a little help from my son who pushed the sides in for me. Replaces an ugly, large, old storage cupboard. It takes up much less room and also loiks decent. We have had a lot of rain but contents seem dry for now.
Delivery was quick and efficient. The box was easy to assemble and feels quite sturdy. With all the rain we have just had everything is still dry inside. It stays open without having to hold the lid which makes it easy to load and get things out .
I haven’t tried sitting on it but it looks strong enough to take the weight of an average adult.
Well pleased with this box. Arrives flat-packed, but the instructions are straightforward and parts well-labelled, so assembly was straightforward. A couple of minor niggles due to flash blocking screw holes (easily drilled clear – if you’ve got a drill) and the slot for the gas strut needed filing out to allow it to fit properly. You’ll definitely need screwdrivers, a mallet or hammer & block of wood and space to construct it in.
Once assembled it is a good solid construction, with a tight fitting lid that has hasps for a lock. The base is the weakest part – effectively hardboard, so needs to be kept off the ground (just ensure the weight is borne through the plastic sides and corners) and potentially limits the weight that could be placed inside, so no good for sacks of cement!) Otherwise it swallows a vast amount, looks like it will last and looks smart and tidy.
It is large, which is good. It does protect the contents from the weather. Importantly, the lock (where you put your own Padlock through) is metal so it’s more difficult for thieves to break open.
Assembly is not just clicking it together, it is a lot of screws. Still only a one person job and took me about 30 minutes.
Perfect for my outside furniture cushions
Does exactly what it is made for!!!
… it really needs a flat place to rest, given that the plastic warps with weight, if the base is not flat, the lid may not close.
Otherwise, great outdoor storage chest. After a year of use, I bought another I was so impressed. The first is still going strong.
