Easy to put together and 100%weatherproof. Much larger than expected and very sturdy.
Terrible instructions put up by using picture, hard to put together. Glad it was on sale not worth the full price
Assemble fairly straight forward but you do need the right tools
The metal struts gave pro drilled holes for the bolt screws to fit . They are too small hence main support screws do not fit not even my mega drill driver would make it work
Needs 2 people to put 2gether but very sturdy and waterproof
Keeps all my garden cushion i
This has been outside for a few weeks with rain and the contents inside has been totally dry.
Happy with product,
Quality very good and easy to assemble.
Keeps all items dry.
Big enough to put cushions from a three seater swing plus garden chair cushions.
Arrived on time. Easy to assemble. Very sturdy and most importantly. Waterproof!! Highly recommend
Everything went together easily. The only frustrating thing was that the latch on lid does not come into line with latch on front panel to securely lock.
This is an awesome storage box and waited a long time to get the perfect one !
The box seems quite sturdy and large enough for what I wanted. The fixings to connect the sides were, in my opinion, not very satisfactory. There was a hole for the screw to go through, but no hole on the adjoining piece to accept the screw and when I proceeded to turn the screw it wasn’t aligned properly so when I started screwing to connect one side to the other I could see the screw too high on the adjoining side.
I bought this to replace an old metal+wood shed with something a bit more weather-proof. It is a great product – sturdy and not letting in a drop of water from recent storms.
The process of putting it together was complicated by excess flashing left on some of the parts and it really would have been a real drag if I had to do it on my own. Fortunately my son helped me and it was only slightly more onerous than it would have been without the flashing.
All in all – a great product. Would just be a tiny bit improved if it had come without all the excess plastic flashing we needed to trim.
so easy to build after watching you tube video strong and and sturdy its a great produc
Great storage capacity and so important that it is weatherproof and vermin proof as I store Horse Feed in it! Easy to assemble, I did it singlehanded, it would be easier with two as some stages.
The box itself is good – only thing is they did not include the bolts and screws that are required to put it together. I sent them an email with all the information that they might require but they kept on insisting that I phoned them (in California) at night here (UK) to give them a list of the missing parts. In the end I gave up!! I am hopeful that I will be able to find the correct sizes of bolts and nuts in a hardware store to do the job, It is assembled, but of course it is not very strong as it is. I think this is very remiss of them that they are not checking the goods that are leaving their premises. It is not Amazons fault because it is not their responsibility to open every package and check the contents!
Great box for garden storage, completely weatherproof and nothing goes mouldy inside so plenty of air circulation. Ideal for storing sun lounger cushions in winter. I have two, highly recommend
Its not difficult to assemble but it does take some time. Components are well marked so its just a jigsaw puzzle. The lid has a good assisted lift and the accuracy of the build meant it fits together accurately. It does need a firm hand in places to locate the sides into the base and this can be disconcerting when you have to apply some pressure. I’m happy with it.
Assembly was not for a beginner but anyone with a bit of aptitude should find this no problem! The finished product is sturdy and can be made secure. I am using it just to store the kids toys but it would happily take garden tools etc. I bought a sturdy padlock but until I put something worth some money in there I won’t bother with the padlock. If you wanted to secure the box to a wall I think with some large bolts and some washers you could easily drill through the plastic and fix it to a wall.
You need a rubber mallet to gently knock the panels together otherwise the screws will not align but it’s a great, well designed storage box. Love the hinges which makes opening easier. Only way to improve is to sell it with a zippable internal liner to ensure contents are completely waterproof.
Bit of a picg to assemble, but video very useful, but such a great item all my summer chairs ect and still room
Easy to put together- only piece that would not fit is one of the lid arms one end would not go onto the ball fitting. It does not stop the use do not end of world.
Not got it outdoors yet so not sure how weatherproof it is going to be.
It is sturdy you can sit on it and I’ve had a child climbing all over it.
Brilliant product. Easy to assemble with just one person, only took me 40 minutes. Much higher quality that other Keter products I’ve purchased in the past, as the Lifetime product uses metal fixings to hold it together. I sealed the inside with clear silicone and now it keeps bugs out too.
Fab box to store our xtra large xmas tree works grea
Well I foul the assembly easy on my own. Impact driver or screwdriver, small drill bit and a spanner. You just need to drill a small hole where the screws have to go and it’s simple. No water in and we’ve had a lot of rain recently. I’m not a lightweight and I can sit on it easily. It’s a real sturdy price of plastic which I am delighted with.
This box is really well made, strong and sturdy easy to put together and waterproof. I have bought 3 or 4 different types of boxes over the years and this is the best of all
Well made, solid construction once you follow the instructions. Any negative reviews clearly don’t understand how to build this thing!
You do need the following though..
Can be built on your own, but two people would be better
Drill & screwdriver
2x spanner sets(to properly bolt the locknuts)
Pliers
Common sense
surprisingly well made and easy instructions made it easy to put together,very sturdy, we are very pleased
This is a good quality product quite hard to make up but worth while good size and great closing lid
Good product, lay out the parts and read the instructions.
It is much easier with two pairs of hands.
Perfect for what I needed.. bigger then I thought but very sturdy and looks good, I would recommend.
This is best assembled by 2 people but not necessary if you know what you’re doing. I assembled it on my own. I have no doubt this shed will last for many years, very robust indeed & looks the part. However all prospective purchasers should be aware that the shed is not quite ready to put together without drilling holes that should have been done before it left the factory, this was not a big issue for me but was frustrating as it took me longer to assemble. All in all I would have bought it again regardless.
Very robust. It feels like it will last a long time, so worth paying a little more than you might for some storage boxes.
Very strong looks the part all round good product.
I’ve had the cheaper versions but this one could probably survive a nuclear attack,,
Build with a mate who is sober is my advice!
This a very good product and so far, no water ingress. The biggest problem I had was clipping the 2 floor panels together, other than that very easy for one person to build. It is pretty sturdy, however when opening the lid it is best to hold onto it as if left to open on the springs the whole shed jolts which would probably damage something over time. It will suit my needs perfectly, a small building to house my telescope
I was surprised of the quality of the product. Easy to assemble with a little help of the video!
I found assembling the storage box very straightforward and only required one person. Instructions and pictures very clear, but it took well over an hour and required a range of tools, especially my drill, to enable screws. Nothing went wrong if you followed the pictures precisely. Great addition to my garden, including storage for Amazon deliveries in my absence
Looks great, parts well labelled but a swine to build up.
I had to replace the screws supplied, with my own to fix the metal lid support as you would need a screwdriver bit attached to a pneumatic road drill to get them in.
It seems solid and hopefully waterproof, there is also loads of room inside.
Well.I did it! I assembled this shed successfully and the instructions together with video direction were faultless, although several holes needed to be drilled for the “self tapping screws” which simply didn’t ‘bite’ without predrilling. The shed itself is unbelievably sturdy, with metal rod reinforcements and I really do believe it is apt;y named as a “lifetime” shed. Very, very pleased with this purchase. Assembly not for the faint hearted though although if I can do it so can anyone, just allow twice as much time as you might initially think, be sure to have patience and follow the instructions carefully.
Need two to pit together and spanners. Great container. Nice and secure.
Looks good now it’s assembled but be aware you need decent tools in order to do so. We didn’t have a heavy duty cordless drill/screwdriver so had to go and buy them otherwise would have been a very difficult assembly. Once we bought them it was a very fast job.
Can’t comment on waterproofness or longevity as only had it a month. First impressions fine though
Straightforward to build and a lot sturdier than I expected. Weather has been quite good since I got it so I can’t comment on how weatherproof it is at the moment.
I read all the reviews and then watched the YouTube videos on how to asssemble this item.
As long as you get all the tools together it shouldn’t be too difficult
It took us about 45 mins steady away,we did it without any cutting or modification.
It is a very strong,sturdy box and does the job we bought it for very well.
Used for storing swingchair cushions so very important that no rain comes i
Quite a pain in the proverbial to assemble and had to dig out my socket set but once finished (after about 45 minutes) ended up with a pretty decent storage box. Seems robust and waterproof. Would buy again but get someone else to assemble the damn thing
Very easy to put together and looks perfect out side very sturdy you can even use as a sea
Great box but needs a “stay” to stop the top going too far back.
Looks great, and just right to store bikes, dry and sturdy, very pleased.
Not cheap but looks great and does the job. Would recommend.
Was worried because other reviews had said about difficulty putting it together. If you have a cordless drill, the correct spanner/socket and can follow plain simple instructions this couldn’t be easier. Great sturdy box.
The finished look is awesome, however my husband and son agree with other comments about how difficult it was to put together and how a lot of the holes don’t align well. Need more attention in this area I think.
The box is great for storage but rain water stores on the underlip of the lid every time it rains. As soon as you open the lid, it runs down and if you don’t wipe quickly, drips into the box! Otherwise, it’s great.
Spent a long while looking for the best box on the market and I think I found it with the Lifetime Storage box. Perfect size and seems strong enough to conveniently pack away all of my woodworking tools. It is well designed and very well made from very tough plastic making it a much sturdier box than others appear to be. Hardware ok but could be a better quality as some screw heads unable to withstand the necessary torque required to drive them home. Pre-drilled holes in the lid bar and hinges were too small to take the self-tappers and needed to be drilled out. Enjoyable to build when the end result is so good. I built a frame with wheels at each corner to sit the box on to manoeuvre the box to where I needed it. Very satisfied with the Lifetime box. I am confident it will be waterproof but not yet rained to know for sure. Bought a cover just in case anyway. Great produc
There was nothing much to dislike. I would have preferred a grey one but in the end the beige-brown one is better. It has remained waterproof even in the heavy rain and high wind weather we have had lately. Happy.
I use the shed for garden storage, it is ideal for my small garden. It is weatherproof and roomy
Good strong weatherproof box. Easy to assemble and a pleasing colour, which matches our bench seats. Used to store cushions from deck chairs, recliners and sun beds. Good size inside and plenty strong to sit on.
The lifetime plastic storage box is great. Very spacious and it looks good in the garden. It’s a little bit tricky to assemble, if you have the right tools required it helps.
The lifrtime storage box is all I expected it 2b well manufactured & easy 2 assemble it also holds all that we require it 2.
Excellent product though requires a level of skill and tools to construct. 2 people. Delivered on time and in good condition.
Brilliant deck box. Extremely well made. Weatherproof and very easy to assemble. Keeps all our outdoor items in one place and looks good. Would highly recommend this product.
Good sturdy product but you need to put a lock on it as the lid flew in when windy
Easy to build, a power screwdriver is necessary, I can see if you over tighten you could damage the plastic. The lid was a little tricky however I managed it fine with instructions supplied. There was a QR code bringing to a video on how to overall I think this is a great box. I can stand on it, if only on the corners as strong there. Can be locked too.
What a totally fantastic buy. This box is stylish sturdy and totally waterproof. The only downside was assembling it !! Saying that we totally hate assembling anything. Good purchase am really pleased with the resul
Nice and sturdy storage box. The first part of the assembly was easy.
But to connect the lid with the hinges requires a strong power screw driver. I have a small one and there is no way to screw through the “on purpose” smaller holes in the metal parts. So I have the lid just laying loose on top.
As the box is in my garden and I don’t need to lock it I don’t mind, but I definitely think the assembly should be made easier.
This product was easy to assemble sturdy and weatherproof also you can fit quite a lot of outdoor cushions in i
Went up with a bit of effort. The holes don’t always fit. But not too difficult. Will definitely buy a cover when I store it away. I can fit in all the cushions from my garden corner sofa and stool.
Very pleased with this item strong sturdy easy assembled and good storage space too …
Have tried numerous cushion boxes which were poor quality, they used to bend, this stopped their ability to be waterproof. This box however did none of the above. It comfortably holds 8 patio furniture cushions and is completely waterproof. It was reasonably easy to build. Watch the video on YouTube. In a league of its own would highly recommend.
I bought two of these. I’d read in the reviews that they were tricky to assemble which I did find – really examine the instructions carefully and particularly the diagrams to look for clues and features to help you orientate items. But, really, it’s no more or less complex then something of this quality ought to be
In service – it works brilliantly. I’d tried to do it the cheap way, with a cheaper product previously, but wasted my money – these are great products
Love this. Its obviously quite expensive but it’s pure class. Heavy duty and looks amazing.
Will need an impact driver and socket set to assemble. Took about 2.5 hours.
Fantastic product. Bought two, first one took an hour to put together. Needs two people. Instructions are clear.
I’ve had other makes in the past but this make is far superior and sturdy.
Excellent storage box. Easy to assemble, very sturdy and weatherproof. Perfect size for our 6 chair pads Highly recommended.
Great asset but instructions not very clear but had help from neighbours, the only difficult part is the lid and the workings plus not entirely lined up but that can be sorted. Overall a nice looking product, very sturdy.
Sturdy and good quality .
My only gripe was that the fitting instructions were hard to follow due to different languages used on the same information sheet.
