Keter Eden Bench Outdoor Storage Box Garden Furniture, Beige and Brown, 140 x 60 x 84 cm

Had issues assembling
It is built from plastic and is weatherproof to rain etc, but assembly was very hard and took me a while to do. That’s why it does not get 5 stars. It being plastic means it also moves a bit too. Overall though, decent bench with good amount of storage space, perfect for summer.

Buy the graphite color, seat is updated.
I noticed there was a difference among grey and the other two color. They have updated the seat. If you see all bad reviews are from the beige and brown colour bench. You can notice those two have a different seat and the reinforcement ribs has a cross pattern. New seat has parallel reinforcement ribs and 4 stronger box sections.

The bench arrived well and took less than an hour to build, once assembled is really sturdy and looks great.

sturdy item and looks grea
We have it outside the back door, lovely to sit on with a cuppa. We live in the countryside and have no footpaths so you can imagine we wear wellies for most of the British weather. The storage area is used for all the family’s wellies. easy to clean out and 100% waterproof. We don’t padlock it but we use a plastic peg to hold the lid shut as I would imagine on windy days it would flap about. The bench is very sturdy, I myself am 19stone and my partner 16 stone so it takes some weight. we have also had the grandkids sat with us on it too. lovely sized bench with lots of seat space and plenty of waterproof storage. Very easy to assemble, i found no problems and had no help either. I would recommend

Looks the job, but read on ...
We’ve just assembled this product and it seems to be ok. I might add a further review once it’s been in use a while. My main criticism is that the assembly was made far too difficult as a result of poor finish to the mouldings. The assembly requires a ‘push and click’ process that is hindered by an excess of plastic on the joining parts. I spent considerable time trimming off the excess with a Stanley knife to achieve the ‘click’ and a firm fit, on most of the joints. Why, oh why don’t the manufacturers do this as part of production and/or quality control? Maybe, if they read these buyers reviews, they’ll start finishing off their products better – let’s hope so. If not, I suggest to future buyers that they trim ALL joints before the start the assembly.
On the plus side, the instructions are reasonably clear and all parts were present. We did notice one small area of damage (from transit?), but it was in a non-structural area that didn’t show.

Does what it says.
Easy to assemble. It’s industrial made so it will not be extremely OCD fit. As sturdy as it can be for a plastic bench, I can sit on it without fearing it will break. It’s waterproof, not small tree particles proof, ( as per picture) my pillows are dry and have a “crisp” winter smell.

Love i
I had searched high & low to get this in the right colours to match my keter box. During lockdown they sold out and any that were available were selling at crazy prices. Got this one last minute using amazon notifications and was made up. Storage is enough to put kids outdoor toys in & a couple of tools. Bench is very sturdy too.

Looks nice and fits garden umbrellas
If you follow assembly instructions and take plenty of time it can be done I am a woman with limited ability and I am nearly 70 so needed help to hold and push things in place but other wise I managed and I am pleased with our bench

Sturdy bench, but assembly has its challenges.
Generally very pleased with the bench. It arrived well packaged, no missing or damaged pieces. I bought a Keter storage box at the same time which was assembled easily. So I expected the bench to be just as easy. Unfortunately, Keter doesn’t trim the molded pieces properly (or at all?). So, when trying to fit pieces together they don’t fit. I had to do lots of trimming to make the pieces fit and even then I was concerned whether it was properly joined. However, when finished it was solid enough and has not given any problems. So, we bought a second one for the other end of the garden. Having assembled one, the second, after doing all the trimming, was assembled more easily.

Read instructions carefully as the last item should be near the beginning.
It was difficult to build most people wouldn’t manage it. My son built mine and he’s fully trained engineer and he said the instructions were a bit contradictory. But other than that I love it keeps all my gardening paraphernalia together so I’m not going thru the garage looking for it.

Really good storage unit.
This is the second one of these units I’ve bought. The first one has kept our camping equipment pretty much bone dry for about 5 years. The new one looks to do the same.

Every piece is clearly labelled so putting together is fairly easy. Some pieces require a little more force than others when putting together. It is well designed to ensure water flows away from the storage area but if there is a lot of water on the bench seat it would be a good idea to wipe it off first.

Easy to assemble, just read instructions carefully.
I liked the Keter Eden Storage Bench because it had the storage space I needed to store my recycling bags. Although it is a plastic bench, it seems very strong and sturdy enough for both myself and husband to sit on. I also purchased the bench seat pad, but it is still comfortable enough without it (I just think it looks nicer with the pad). The only problem my husband had when assembling it, was the holes in the metal bar for the back of the seat were out of alignment, so he had to file it to get the plastic cover to click into place. Other than that, it was quite easy to put together and took him about an hour. I would definitely recommend.

Good storage bench
Bought on behalf of my parents. Good storage bench as well as a seating bench. Arrived in good time although some of the pre-pressed panels were a little ruff and one piece was slightly damaged. Once put together was ok. They seem happy with it. Personally think they are a little overpriced for what they are, but would recommend.

Average
Purchased this after reading reviews as needed storage for chair cushions.
It is actually quite small storage and some of my square chair cushions do not fit.
I have always loved Keter products but this falls short on quality finish and general appearance.
Maybe just a sign of the times , corner cutting to maximise profit.

Great looking and practical piece of garden furniture
A little more fiddly to put together than I had expected and during construction it felt a bit flimsy. Once constructed however it felt solid and looked much better that the photo. I bought a cushion, which stores nicely in the bench, finishes off the looks and makes it more comfortable. I have other keter garden furniture which still look great even when left out uncovered over the winter. Would recommend this product and brand.

Nice product. take your time and read the instructions carefully. If you do this be sensible and dont be tempted to use a sledge hammer when inserting some of the “click” together joints and you will have a very serviceable seat which keeps the inside wasterproof. It holds loads and looks good for a very reasonable price. This i my second purchase. One for on the caravan decking and this one for at home to store loads of tools in.

Mmmmm
A toss up between a 3 Star and 4 Star. Three stars because the instructions were hard to follow, very fiddly to construct and if the slightest piece doesn’t go in right you have to disassemble most of the bench. Definately a 2 man job. However, once it was constructed (after 3 attempts of getting the base in right without it moving). It is quite good. It is quite sturdy. Wider than expected.

All we hoped fo
Arrived very soon after order. Assembling flat pack products is always an entertaining challenge but the pictorial assembly instructions were reasonably clear and given a fine windless day and a bit of care, I assembled it in about 45 mins. Very pleased with finished product. Most of the plastic panels are flimsy but the assembled bench is surprisingly robust; testimony to clever design! Looks attractive. Comfortable for two to sit on, especially with additional cushioning. Ample storage space. Price very fair. We have a similar product outside a holiday home on the wild Llyn peninsular, which has survived unblemished for several years and I’m optimistic this one will last equally well. I read one customer complaint that the base panel is too flimsy. I doubt that will matter provided it is sitting on firm, flat ground.

Nice, does the storage well, suspect it's not really useable as a seat !
Pleasantly surprised considering reviews and personal experiences of Keter recently. This assembled fine, with no broken or missing parts. Took me half an hour to assemble and we can get our 3 recycling bags in there no problem. I doubt very much whether this is really suitable for sitting on, as plastic is flimsy and I think the seat part would buckle under heavier weights. I would recommend this seat, as long as you don’t want to use it as a seat!

Damn good garden storage bench
I read alot of the reviews about this and there are some quite negative ones. However, I read them carefully and came to the conclusion that some people are a bit picky. I received this bench, very well packaged. I really can’t complain about how tidy it was packed and the polystyrene around the parts. As with anything flat packed, you do need to understand how to put a lego set together. Having a lego set when you were a child would be a bonus for understanding the instructions. The instructions are very clear if you read very carefully and ensure you take notice of what parts go where and what screws to use where. It’s not difficult to understand, but just requires being organised and ensuring you understand the parts before putting it together. If you do that, it’s a breeze. Some people have complained about left over plastic on some parts from the injection mould. In all honesty, when you buy anything that is injection moulded you should expect a little thin left over plastic. Mine did have this in one or two small places, but it is so thin that it is easy to break off.

Some people have complained about parts and screw holes not aligning up. This storage bench has some parts that require screws and some parts that require a push and clip mechanism. And then there are some parts that require both. I will admit, some of it does take a bit gentle of elbow grease, but if you buy it with that in mind, knowing you may have to put a little effort into putting it together then you won’t be disappointed. The fact is, as long as you ensure all the parts are clipped in or screwed in correctly, then everything will go together fine. You shouldn’t have to use modification techniques like some have mentioned. That just smells of the nightmare DIY enthusiast more like a nightmare on elm street. You shouldn’t have to force anything during the build process, but you will have to apply gentle pressure on some parts to get them to clip in. I gently banged some parts with the ball of my hand without any need to force and they went in perfectly.

Once put together, patiently, the bench is very sturdy. It will easily take the weight of two people, maybe three and maybe your dog if you have one. It looks damn good, and is an excellent alternative to a wooden bench. Better still, you can wash it down without it affecting the wood, as its not wood.

There is heaps of storage space. I have fitted my petrol strimmer, garden tools and some other tool bags in so far, and I still have tons of space.

I really recommend this to anyone looking for a good looking alternative to a wooden storage bench. The wooden ones I looked at were 300/400, this is just under 80. So really a bargain.

And if you don’t use it for garden tool storage, you could use it to store cushions or anything else you use outdoors in the summer months. If you don’t use it for storage at all, then it is lightweight considering the size. If you go caravanning then, providing you have space in your caravan. You could stick this inside while you travel, and use it wherever you park up.

All in all, brilliant. All I can think is the other people who complained, were either being picky, or didn’t read the instructions correctly and used the wrong parts in the wrong places. Worse still, got their electric drill and chainsaw out to it. If you do that, then what can you expect.

lovely bench - so half the 'set' was perfect lol
love this – am a pretty big lady due to disability and it feels very secure and stable to sit on, had help to assemble it and were no problems, chi dogs love it too – no gaps in the seat for little legs to get lost in and a perfect ‘jumpable’ height. lots of storage for outdoor bits and bobs too. colour is fine – but notice the dark seat gets very very hot in the sun. sadly – the matching much wanted ‘keter store it out max’ was a disaster as it was broken in the box so it seems to be a bit hit and miss what state these will arrive in – notice with the bench however it came with better packaging inside and polystyrene ‘wedges’ helping secure/protect. so the bench got 5stars, the ‘store it out max’ got a one and got returned (bit of a nightmare to do) – still lacking a storage box/shed so might try somewhere local that sells these ones with an easier returns process ‘just in case’ 🙂

Good Garden Bench - Marred by a few assembly problems.
Have now bought two of these (one as a gift) and, once assembled, they’re great but assembly does entail a bit of fettling and more brute force than I’ve experienced with other Keter products. (The storage boxes are particularly good). In particular, there’s quite a bit of waste plastic in location slots – which has to be trimmed carefully otherwise nothing fits so have a sharpknife/hacksaw blade handy. On the upside, the assembly instructions are quite clear and most of the components are well labelled.

With regards to performance, until there’s some weight inside, the quite lightweight seat is very vulnerable to being blown around. However, as I write this, one of the seats is covered in snow but the internal storage is quite dry. And, despite appearances, the seat can definitely take the weight of a fully-grown bloke using it as a step…

Plastic garden bench.
A great patio bench, sturdy and more comfortable for me than a wooden bench as there is a little bit of ‘give’ in this plastic one. With very clear instructions, it took me about 15 minutes to assemble with the aid of a Philips (No.2) screwdriver. I also used a flat bladed screwdriver to push some of the clips into position and a hammer to knock in a couple of plugs at the back, just to make the process easier. It has loads of storage space beneath and should require no maintenance. Perhaps best of all it was 20 cheaper than my local B&Q!

Not the best but what do we want for £ 75
Not the best but what do we want for 75.00 come together well and they look exilant and the storage is very good nice to sit on as well comfy thanks Amazon and Keter. I am adding a comment to say that the storage is fantastic got all my paint tins in one of the benches I have about 20 tins thanks once again Amazon and Keter. OK so I have had these storage benches for a few week now and found that big people can not sit on them the top bends in very badly so I am having to buy some 1/4 inch plyboard to put on the top but I still say they are a good buy so thanks once again Keter and Amazon regards Brian.

Keter Bench
Everything is as it says on the box. A bit wary of my weight on it at first but it seems OK at the moment. I would have liked a fixing on the legs to fasten it in situ instead of being moveable. The last fittings at the back were very flimsy, poor, and I could not get them in properly. The space under the seat isn’t waterproof, water will get inside it. This will not affect the bench it is all plastic, only the items you store in it will be affected. Having said all that it does me perfectly, easy on the eye when in place, doesn’t look too plasticy and now positioned a great piece of furniture/storage. Throw all the kids balls, bats, buckets and spades etc into the storage bit, making the spot look tidier.

Confortable storage
I have several Keter items in my garden, including a shed and a few storage boxes of differing sizes, so when my wooden garden bench started to fall apart I chose this Bench box as a replacement. Although I love all the Keter products I already have I was still a little apprehensive as to how this could be suitable storage and and also offer comfortable seating. My fears were certainly unfounded. I bought this bench several months ago and it has stood up well to all the bad weather we have had over the past few months, and the contents have remained bone dry. As a seat it is sturdy and really quite large comfortably holding three adults. It also looks really good in the garden.

very convenie
We bought this bench to keep outside our back door to hold garden shoes and stuff and to sit on when we change into our wellies and such. So a garden bench with storage is just the thing. The size is just right for us and it’s attractive in a nice light colour – the only light coloured one I found. The bench is also fairly comfortable and we sit on it just to drink a cup of tea outside. The only small complaint I have is that it’s very light and plasticky – which one would expect being made of plastic. But the lid warps a bit in hot weather and doesn’t always fit down properly. So it sometimes lets in rain if you don’t double check that the lid is fully down. It was very good value so I am happy. I can’t imagine how much we would have to pay for a wooden one even if I could find one the right size and have to repaint it every other year.

This is supposed to be kept outside, so I hope it won’t badly degrade too quickly. For now, I’m happy with it.

Easy to put together, guests love i
I get lots of compliments about this bench. Which is funny, because it’s clearly plastic when you’re up close, but a few people have asked where I got it from.

First, why did I buy plastic? Because I inherited some rotting wooden chairs with my garden and I wanted something that wouldn’t do that. Second, it has storage in the base, and storage is always good. (Though bear in mind this goes on my patio area; it wouldn’t be great on grass since it would (presumably) kill the grass underneath the solid base.

The best thing about this design is that the bench is very easy for one person to put together by themselves. All the parts are numbered; the instructions are in pictures; they are big pieces and it probably took ten minutes. I do have an electric screwdriver for the few screws though, so maybe add ten minutes if you don’t!

It’s solid and comfortable, and it doesn’t rot. There’s also nothing in my storage box yet, so it’s light and easy to move around.
