Looks quite nice with the two tone colours
It looks nice in my garden, plenty of storage space for smaller items. It was a bit difficult in one or two places as some parts were slightly warped, other than that I have no complaints. …..so far.
Good product, bad customer service
Product arrived with lid/seat part warped which made assembly difficult resulting in small break of middle click part and now badly scratches arm every time lid is raised/lowered. Also top of one arm rest not completely sealed. Contacted Keter but got no response. Did not find fault with lid until almost finished assembly, so didn’t want to dismantle in order to return. Just hoped for a new lid.
Great Item
This is the third one I have bought over the years for outside diffrent caravans, its a bit fiddly to assemble but follow the instructions and its fine, quite sturdy and its great to store the sunloungers garden chairs etc and use as a bench as intended would deffo recommend.
Very Good but cracked in corne
This bench was delivered with a cracked joint on arm section, can’t return it now as it was one of the last sections to be assembled, so disappointed. Must have been dropped in transit.
Otherwise bench was sturdy, good colour and good storage.
Brilliant price for this product.
Excellent quality items from Keter. Have many other products from them.
Does what it says
Delivery took longer than anticipated. Still arrived in one peice. Didnt take long to put up,all the bits and pieces needed are there. Bit tight putting lid on but easy otherwise. Nice for putting recycling tubs in ,looks good with a cushion on to sit on in the garden. Highly recommended.
It's a good piece of kit apart from one flaw ...
The middle hinge on the seat section should have a plastic or steel bolt instead of the plastic snap shut…thats exactly what it did do is “snap off”
It was easily remedied by a simple drill hole and my own bolt insert …but others may struggle to fix it.
Other than that its s good piece if kit.
Dual use bench and storage
Just what I wanted somewhere to sit and store garden stuff. Excellent. Made a cushion to sit o
Great item great price
Liked every thing about this. Easy to assemble looks good
Good quality
Straight forward to assemble just need to cut off some excess from mouldings.
Looks good
Sturdy flat pack and as expected for my use
delivered very well packaged with instructions to assemble from flat pack. one of the box clips for the lock was different to the contents list (2 the same supplied) but did the job when fitted. Assembly is probably not for those with no experience of flat packs, but only requires a Philip’s head screwdriver although 2 people are recommended for some stages of assembly. The box bottom appears to be a sort of reinforced carboard type material and would not take heavy loads (71lb max quoted). The fitting of the bottom is critical to hold the whole thing together and to make sure the lid/seat fits well – care is needed to overlap the bottom at both ends of the bench sides to allow sufficient material to attach the screws that pull in the two ends. The finished bench is reinforced with metal bars and is both very sturdy and gives a waterproof box and good seat.
Good bench
Great bench good storage and keeps the colour even in the winte
Just right for storing the cushions from the patio chairs!
Love this benchplaced for early morning sun and so useful to store cushions but also used a side table when entertaining!
Good sturdy quality produc
Very sturdy product and nice to look at and sit on. Assembly instructions are pictorial rather than written, which was a bit confusing as it’s not my preferred choice.
Price, quality and ability to store and be a bench is great. Bought 2 so would definitely recommend.
Sturdy item
Clear instructions, well marked parts and easy assembly. Weatherproof and sturdy
Good value
Good value and good assembly instructions – though it took two of us an hour to make!
Good looking, Comfortable and Waterproof on the inside.
I recommend this bench. It goes well in the garden although at first I was shocked that it was a plastic type of material. Now I’m glad that it’s this plastic material because that’s the reason that it’s portable and lght and perfectly rainproof. It’s just as attractive as the metal bench that it sits next to and actually a bit more comfortable to sit on because the seat is larger. I’m very pleased with it.
Really nice
Excellent bench and lots storage but waiting for a small
Part and cannot get any reply from meter which is really unusual as they are usually really good!
Handiness
Keep all my garden tools in one place and a garden seat at the same time
Brilliant storage
Despite some people finding this difficult to assemble it is not! I am a 60 year +woman who assembled this in less than 30 minutes by myself. The instructions are easy, if you read them first! Each piece is clearly stamped and all bolt holes are in the correct place. I’ve used this to keep my recycling boxes in. Despite the heavy rain we have had everything kept bone dry. It was on sale for 89 and is an absolute bargain. Comfortable to sit on without cushions. I have no hesitation in recommending it.
Great value
No problems putting it together
Did it on my own
No leeks even with the recent storms.
Usual shed padlock fits ok.
Cheaper than DIY stores.
very easy to assemble
it was very easy to assemble and the overall look is very good, it also holds a lot of garden games and cushions etc.
Garden Bench Sea
The seat was priced at 99 in the Sale which is a reasonable price for this Keter Bench which was easy to assemble from the pictorial instructions where all the items had letter/Number to link them in the pictures being 16 stone in weight the seat was robust for two to sit comfortably with out any sow of movability in the plastics of the bench
Ideal bench and storage box
There was a small crack in one of the legs but doesn’t affect it pretty simple to assemble and good that it can be locked pleased with item
Plenty of space.
Nice high seat, so very comfortable. Plenty of storage space. The clips are a bit difficult to press together but the instructions were very clear. Over all, once its together, its a very nice garden bench
Practical and nice in garde
Bought this for garden storage, very happy with assembly, and how it looks. Plan to put cushions on it in better weather. Highly recommend.
Make sure parts are clear of "bits"
This is a nice quality product but, when putting together, you need a sharp blade to make sure the interlocking “click-in” bits are clear of thin bits of plastic from the moulding process. This made it a bit difficult to just assemble, having to check every hole etc to make sure it would go in. Once together, it is sturdy and watertight and looks good on the decking. A bit more effort from the manufacturers quality control would make this a much nicer experience.
Very nice
I have always loved this bench so I bought it when it was on special offer. It looks great in the garden so happy with purchase. Quick to assemble but it was a bit fiddly in parts.
Nice sturdy seat with plenty of storage.
Easy to put together and very stable even when 2 sat on it. I can’t imagine it’ll be 100% waterproof but ok for me for things I’ll be storing in it. Very happy with purchase.
Great quality
When this item arrived it was bigger than expected
Very easy for two people to put together
Very pleased with the quality , I would highly recommend i
Excellent!
Before you start assembling this item watch the videos on u-tube. There a number of videos listed under ‘how to assemble a keter eden bench. this familiarises you with the product and makes your assembly much easier. Written instructions are clear and easy to follow. I completed assembly in less than 1.5 hours and am absolutely delighted with the bench. it is sturdy, well engineered and of excellent quality plastic material. looks fantastic – nothing cheap and nasty about this product. strongly recommend.

So far, so good
This is a decent bench by a well known brand – at a good price. It’s tough, durable plastic and it doesn’t have many parts to assemble – but blimey, it’s quite tough to do. You definitely need two people, you definitely need some strength (my arthritic wrists were not up to the task) and where some parts allegedly “click” into place, brute force is required to get them there. However, the finished article is sturdy enough, although neither of us is exactly sylph-like. I hope the supporting frame under the bench seat will continue to hold us…
We did find that of all the parts that slot or screw together, there are inevitably tiny gaps. So we set to with a silicon gun (clear) and sealed all those up, now it’s properly weatherproof and waterproof and we can keep the long cushion we had from our old bench in the storage section (which is already proving its worth). The cat loves the sun warming the bench even on a chilly February day, and it looks good. Let’s hope it stays strong and sturdy.
Very impressed
Really pleased with the bench,fast delivery,found it easy to put together ,instructiond were clear,but then again I have DIY skills,could understand it being a bit tricky if your a novice,but there are videos available showing how to put it together,very sturdy and looks great,very pleased,bought the cussion to go with it,makes it very comfortable, five stars from me

Fantastic
Storage area lot bigger than expected only negative wish there was a way to secure it to wall ie a hook you could put a chain through other than that well worth money
Lightweight bench
Generally good, but water has got in the storage area
The bench is very light, so will need weighting a or anchoring down for any eldeldy person who may use the structure to assist in standing.
Ideal for purpose of a maintenance free bench.

Very good produc
This product was a Christmas gift for my husband who is very happy with it. One small component was broken and the manufacturer replaced the full set by return which is excellent service. Our cats love it too, they sit in the sun on it!
Requires precisio
The first bench was delivered with a crack in a leg and was replaced by Amazon. After assembling the bench according to the instructions the lid scrapped on one arm when opened. The problem was the squareness was found in the base, the self tapping screws had to be removed, squared up and re-inserted. The manual does not say you have to square the base with a square prior to screwing. This is important because the locking catches were 1 1/2 cm apart. When lifting the seat for access, it is important to lift it slowly or wipe away the water as this could drip onto the dry content. Otherwise, very happy with i

We had just a box, similar to this, to store our walking boots and wellingtons, in the garded by the back door. Someone sat on it and the lid (Which we thought would be okay to sit on!) not long after we’d put it together and the lid cracked, so it was no longer watertight. And we had to replace the hinges because they broke quite quickly.
This bench box is far superior! For a start, the lid/seat is reinforced! Secondly, there is a gully to collect and drain the water, which sits on the lid/seat, away. Third, the hinges are far superior than the ones on the box. Finally, the reinforced back rest makes it much more comfortable to sit on!
An excellent choice of garden storage!
Ideal item for the garde
I love this bench it looks good and it was easy to assemble loads of storage and a lovely bench to sit on with a nice cup of tea
Slick looking modern bench
Very easy to build if you read the instructions! Being a man and previously knocked a few keter items together I didn’t bother reading. Made a error which was a bit of a nightmare to resolve. Forgot to insert the metal bar into the back rest. Took a lot of effort to unclip what I had done without breaking anything. I did crack one small piece at the very end of assembly. Not keters fault just me being overly aggressive after my mistake. Been up a week in the back garden in biblical rain and dry as a bone inside. Got it on a flash sale so chuffed at the price I paid for it. Even at full price this hands down beats any wooden bench out there. No rotting wood, no painting or staining and good storage what’s not to like!?

Looks good , weather proof with useful storage
I bought this as a weather proof occasion seat , but mostly so parcels could be left in a dry place , when I am unable to answer the door . The storage area is big, with a seat/ lid which is easy to open . Unfortunately, it arrived during a spell of very rainy weather , and I realised that rain gathering on the seat, falls into the storage area when the lid is opened , wetting the parcels . This is my only negative. The bench is light and easy to carry . Although assembling is straightforward, I am not strong enough to ‘ click ‘ parts into position, so needed the help of a person with very strong hands . Some of the moulding had extra bits hanging of, which needed cutting . All in all , I’m very happy with the product and price
Get rid of excess water on seat before opening it.
If you open the lid/seat without shaking excess off first, you get large puddles inside the “Weatherproof Storage Area”, not so great when storing cushions. Base could do with being a little stronger so it could take the weight of some garden items, fish food, bird seed as well as something larger than a garden trowel. Given the problem with water not all going down the drainage section at the back the base could do with some form of drainage (recommend a few holes with a nylon/cotton mix webbing fabric across the base.

Take your time.
2 people to assemble this is a good idea. Take your time, read the instructions carefully and try to make sense of the picture diagrams. Being a Plastic item, some pushing and twisting to get things to ‘click’ will be required.
Plenty of storage and easy to lock, with your own padlock. We haven’t used it as a seat yet, but will in the drier weather.
Bench with garden storage box.
You can do on your own but handy to have second person helping. A bit fiddly getting parts to click in place. Hardest part to click was angled back rest. Once we figure out how to angle part it went in with additional information force using hands. I’ve one bit that has gap on armrest. Emailed Keter about it. Rest of bench is okay, no other gaps, not fitting parts. This is 3rd Keter box I’ve bought, except this one has bench. Much cheaper than a few months ago with monthly payment option as well.Locking is easy. Easy enough to find suitable padlocks for bench as well.

Customer service is slow with Keter but it is a good produc
I purchased this along with a Keter small storage shed. The shed was delivered with a damaged hinge which we only noticed half way through so started on the summer seat to find the screws were missing. I contacted Keter Customer Services and still awaiting a response.
Update they have replied a 1 month later they have ordered parts however they are not available at the moment. I’ll update you on the situation.
Parts arrived 1 happy customer. I would recommend buying from this firm.
Looks good and good value
Assembly was reasonably easy as I had just destroyed an old version. Colours just right and price not too bad.
Best buy outdoor storage
Did take a bit of work to fit the largest piece to the base. Other than that it wasn’t too challenging for 2 people to assemble. We are pleased to have chosen this waterproof bench storage. Very sturdy with both of us, around 150kg, sitting on it.
Good storage
Relatively easy to construct but make sure the parts do click otherwise it comes misshaped. Once built it has considerable store managed to get pergola and cushions in but will get some of those vacuum bags to get more space and extra protection. All in all good price for a good looking bench ( that needs no painting) just a wipe over with a damp cloth. Recommended
Good dual purpose as bench and storage
Easy tonput together but you do need 2 people for assembly. I have 2 of these now the first one I bought a few years back and is still going strong and weatherproof. It’s sturdy enough when used fit for purpose. Nice lot of storage space.
Best buy for ages!
I had a bench initially and since then my Mother has had one also. I keep a dog stroller in mine plus some gardening equipment, all kept bone dry in bad weather. If either of us has deliveries and we are out, the driver leaves the parcels big or small in our benches!! I wish I’d have had one years ago, in fact, I’m thinking of having another one to put in a different area on my property. Brilliant buy.
ake your time assembling this bench
It arrived three days later than promised, not Amazon’s fault it was the carrier, Nonetheless it arrived intact. I unpacked and followed the instructions. I found it annoying that sometimes it was difficult to decide which side some parts are assembled, (good side or reverse) you just have to keep in mind how it will look eventually.
As a lady of a certain age I assembled this on my own, it took me a while but got there. I found the the gentle tap of a rubber hammer helpful without damaging the bench.
It will be used at the far end of the garden so when up there it is not necessary to keep coming back to the house. It looks good, its study (although I haven’t had the chance to sit on it yet). So far so good.
I bought the cover suggested, there is plenty of space inside there. As a deal it looks like good value for money.

Great storage bench, no maintenance
Can be assembled by one, but it’s best with two. In the hot sun use cushion as the plastic gets hot. It’s no maintenance apart from washing it down from time to time.
Good size storage.
Arrived in one box, fairly easy to assemble but takes 2 people, one to hold in place whilst the other puts fixings in. Easily seats two adults. Just needs a wipe with a cloth after rain. So far the storage area has not got wet from the rain but nothing has been put in there yet. Will be interesting to see how it fairs over a winter. Delivered in time stated but no prior delivery confirmation of estimated timing on delivery day, fortunate I was in.

Good bench so fa
When assembled by two adults one disabled wheelchair user it was easy to put together.
Nice looking, a bit complex to assemble Nice looking
Nice looking when put together and seems sturdy. Assembly is a little complex and needs 2 people, but everything fitted. Lock protrudes and is a bit dangerous – easy to catch back of leg. Can’t comment on weather proofing yet, since bench is new and not yet weather tested .

Great product but now overpriced!
Shocked when I discovered how much more this item was compared to a couple of years ago.. Was on sale for as little as 60..
Great vendo
although I had certain challenges with assembly and managed to break part of the bench, the vendor replaced it speedily and with no fuss. Most impressed.
BRILLIANT
My husband found this courtesy very easy to assemble it took him approximately 30 minutes in total he said it was very sturdy and even though we thought any two people could sit on it we got three people on it quite comfortably. We had a downpour overnight and the rain sat on the top of the seat and when my husband lifted it it drained away into the galley at the back of the sea and not into the storage area beneath so we were more than happy as everything inside was perfectly dry. We will be storing a seat covers in here and other items that currently don’t have a place.

Nice bench
Just what we were looking for, a nice bench with a bit of storage space
Read the instructions carefully; lay out all the components; check off your parts. list!
Easy to assemble, good capacity, comfortable seat but 2 items not so good:
1. Screws to screw the base into the body need to be longer and more secure. My base came away in one day and I had to fix it with metal ‘L’ brackets.
2. If it has been raining then water accumated on the seat will run into the box when you open the seat up. The seat really needs a ‘ledge/overhang’ at the back so that pooling water run off behind the box.

Function & fashio
Looks good when assembled & is robust to use & sit on. Not the easiest to assemble getting all the moulded plastic panels to marry up but worth the effort. Unable to get one of the bottom leg covers to stay put, this doesn’t affect the ability to use it though. Provides a decent amount of storage so overall quite happy with my purchase
Good unit but...
You may read reviews that it is not easy to assemble but I didn’t find that. The only issue was the courier. The box was damaged which impacted the product. The seller was able to rectify the issue. The issue is the chair is pretty heavy therefore the packaging just wasn’t up to the job.
Once assembled, the unit is robust and surprisingly comfortable to side on.

Very disappointed
Not the quality I would expect from Keter very poor nothing trimmed flash plastic everywhere, no holes for the underneath screws and. Most difficult piece to put together and I don’t usually have issues putting Keter furniture together but the apparently click click did not just click click. Really not sure i would have the confidence to let people sit on i
Storage bench
Bench is great except its the wrong colour i ordered Graphite snd grey but as i waited a month already this one will do
Good value and easy to put togethe
This is the second Keter bench I have purchased and can recommend them as a useful addition to the garden at a reasonable price.
Pleased enough
Well Packaged, arrived on due date, Packaging was a Bit Scuffed.. Easy enough to construct, don’t stray from the Instructions and you’ll be alright, pieces are all Numbered.. The Bench is Sturdy enough, plenty storage space. not Heavy, would most likely need some weight in it in Really Windy Weather… There was a Crack in one of the Leg Pieces, resulting in the Leg Blank not staying put.. Fixed it with a small Screw and it’s going nowhere.. All in all the wife and I are pleased enough with it.. At least I won’t have to paint or treat it. It’s had quite a few washes but that’s all down to all the B####Y Rain we’ve had since we Bought the B####Y Swing…

Made up with mine
My boyfriend put this together, took about an hour, couple of scratches of the head but nothing to complicated. I love it! I haven’t put a lock on ours and it stays shut and cushions inside stay dry. It hold quite a bit of stuff. It’s plastic and looks like plastic but it’s brilliant for what I want it fo
Good over all
Does the job for muddy boots by the back door only criticism is when you open the lid where the seat is the needs to be small channel for the water to run into and run away from the bench seat as the water can pool on top and when you open this and fall i
A little pricey but does the job
I’m glad I purchased this bench, even after seeing the bad reviews. I see why some complain about assembly issues and quality, but you just need to take your time. A few pieces appeared flimsy at first, but the overall construction feels sturdy. One thing to note is that there were complaints of the seat breaking. It’s not mentioned in the instructions, but it looks like you could put some wooden slats inside the voids under the seat which are just covered with blanking plates (see last pic). Overall I’m quite happy with this bench, I managed to fit my lawnmower inside which was my main priority.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
As most products YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR buy cheap and you will get a cheap product and end up paying more in the long run. Keter only one brand for your garden. Very strong and waterproof I have a few Keter items in my garden some are 10 + years old and other than a little fading still as good as the day I got them and still waterproof most importantly it doesn’t go brittle from various weather conditions
Almost perfect bench on our balcony
The lid is not strong enough ,we are not heavy people and it’s cracked again,we have already had a replacement before,it was from from the company but it’s replacement has cracked again.

superb looking bench
once erected its a cracking looking & strong bench I’ve had a few of these benches over many years to be honest they look like new after being outside for 10years & more in all the weather they come up like new with a power washer or a good wash down with detergent they are a bit of hassle to erect but as long as you follow the instructions to the tee things turn out good & you will be happy with the bench because also you have a big storage space under the seat which is really handy

Durable and tough
Check the box isn’t damaged on arrival as first one that arrived the box was barely hanging on and low and behold the bag of screws and bolts were missing. After waiting for second one to be delivered after sending back we finally got to put it together. Durable and tough but rain sits on the seat and needs tipping forward every now and the

ice big seat and storage
Nightmare to put together, the plastic lugs are very hit and miss, you get 2 in and the other 2 wont fit, you will need a rubber mallet. took me nearly 2 hours to put together only because of the ill fitting lugs, but at least its up and I am happy with it.

Budget bench with storage
I found the instructions a little difficult to understand in a couple of places, not helped by the poor moulding of the plastic making it harder to assemble. However, now it is built, it is sturdy and appears to be waterproof so far. It looks nice from across the garden but closer up it does look plasticky (perhaps unfair since that is what it is made of!). Easy to keep clean and shouldn’t need maintenance.
Good
I bought 2 of these and both arrived unbroken which was a bonus based on other reviews!
Assembly was pretty easy but like others have said, you need a sharp knife to trim the burrs off the plastic so the parts fit together properly. Because I bought 2 of these, the 2nd one was a breeze to put together because I knew where all the burr points were from building the first one and removed them first.
They are not exactly secure so don’t put anything valuble in them, because although the brackets for attaching a lock are metal, these brackets just screw into plastic so can be ripped out very easily.
Overall pretty happy with them both.

Excellent value for a useful and attractive bit of garden furniture
Bought as a gift for my mother. I unpacked, arranged and assembled it easily without help in about 40 mins. It’s very robust and sturdy but still attractive. Don’t know about being waterproof in terms of storage yet but the fit of the seat certainly suggests it will be. Mum is thrilled with it as it offers storage for all of her small garden pots and compost. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again. All I need to get now is a cushion.
Easy to build garden bench
Came well packed full instructions for assembly easy to understand and build. All parts are numbered and lettered . Two people makes it a lot easier to build although a single person could assemble it on one’s own. It is very sturdy and can easily take 2 persons sitting. It has ample storage space under seat suitable for cushions and light garden tools or toys. An excellent garden bench highly recommended.
