Buen armazn con mucha capacidad de almacenamiento. Una tarde empleada entre dos personas para montarlo
Me ha sorprendido el material plastico es bastante aislante de la temperatura, a pleno sol de agosto y dentro est razonablemente fresco.
El ajuste de los componentes es perfecto. Asi debe ser teniendo en cuenta el precio de 499 pagado por el.
Sturdy. Waterproof (been through a few storms since assembly). Excellent deck box with plenty of storage room. Assembly was easy (less than 20 min). Also looks great!
Very happy with this deck box so far. We’ll see how it hold up to the winter weather. Have had some bowing on the lid with the summer sun/heat. But, it straightens out with the cooler nights. Not a big issue.
The front and back panels have tabs which fit into the base of the storage box and then are slid to the right to lock them in (this is where a rubber mallet might be useful). The right and left side panels didn’t appear to be marked left or right. They also have tabs and they each fold to form a portion of the front and rear panels. Just make sure the two holes at the top of side panels are attached closest to the rear panel – that’s how you determine right from left panels – as those holes support the hinges for the top. After securing the panels to the bottom with the sheet metal screws – you need to flip the box over and use the remaining sheet metal screws to screw the tabs their are protruding through the base to the base. Again the tabs are not pre-drilled for the screws – so a drill with a screwdriver bit is useful.
Hope this is helpful. Assembly time is probably around an hour and a half with the proper tools.
Assembly was fairly easy, although I did manage to snap one of the bolts used for the latch bar. The manufacturer did not include any spares, but it was a common size and I had one that similar in size that worked OK. I did not use any sealant on the seams, as there were several reviewers that testified to the weatherproof properties of the box without using any sealer. I did not have any help, but the box was fairly easy to maneuver around to work in all the fasteners.
The first night sitting on the deck full of cushions we had a major series of thunderstorms roll through with high winds and several inches of rain. I checked the next day and everything in the box was dry and there was no evidence of any moisture in the bottom.
Overall I am very impressed with the design and construction of this storage box.
Have a large LIfetime trash can storage unit/shed at the end of my driveway. Put that together myself over one year ago and except for some slight initial warping on the rear roof corners from sitting in the hot Sun on a sloping asphalt driveway, it is solid. Figured the same build design process would be used for this and naturally being a good bit smaller it proved to be an easier build than the larger shed.
Parts are well thought out and require pre-drilling of holes in only one location. That would be the 4 rear support bar holes. They leave them that way because there is no real way for them to drill them without marking up the material…and making you drive them results in a tighter fit anyway, at the angle that best suits your particular driver. As always, only use a much smaller bit for guide purposes so the screw threads will fit much tighter and require less checking over time for any slippage. Other than that is all easy peesy and aside from the sheer bulk size of it, the box is not heavy to move.
Oh, one other thing, do not be thrown off by the hinges being the same exact design (no right vs left) for the mounting space alloted at the rear. Using the same design means one of the hinges (your choice of side) will make for a snugger fit with one of the front corners when closing the lid. The tolerances are such there should be no pressure warping issue and in any event there is a lockdown area provided.
I love this box. Took 2 to put it together or would have received 5 stars for assembly too. We use it for a package receptacle. All of our carriers know where it is, and now I don’t have to look for my packages.
I wanted to write this review as some of the complaints within Amazon reviews about assembling this product nearly scared me off. I don’t know if Lifetime changed something, but assembly was a cinch (albeit a bit time-consuming). All the hardware fit, and I used my power tools and ratchets. No issues with deformed plastic or bolts that didn’t fit.
Installation aside, the space in the 130-gallon is PHENOMENAL. This unit is in my garage and it hides all of our gardening gear, all of our bike gear, and a bunch of our sporting goods and there is STILL half the box left over. In the beige color, it’s also neutral enough not to stand out, and the size and shape are perfect for my garage.
Out of sight, out of mind, and ORGANIZED.
It went together easily with good instructions. It works flawlessly for our needs and it is LIFETIME quality. We own tables manufactured by this company and have always enjoyed the quality and durability.
If you’re expecting just a philips screw driver and some allen keys, you’re in for a surprise. Assembly isn’t particularly difficult, but I don’t imagine most people will have the tools needed to put this together. No tools are included by the way. I recommend getting someone with a set of legit tools before assembly. Luckily I have all this stuff, but it still took me a few trips up and down the stairs back and forth to/from my garage to gather up everything I needed. Hope the attached pic will help you.
You’ll need a socket wrench set. Or at the very least, two wrenches of various sizes b/c you need to secure one nut while turning a bolt at the same time. A power drill is a must and it needs to have an impact driver function b/c there are no pilot holes in the hard plastic that you’re drilling into.
Pro tip: hold the lid vertically and drill the screws down towards the ground to give yourself more leverage. If you don’t have a drill and plan to do this by hand, you’ll rip out your hair before you get it done and your wrist will wish you used it to drive to a store to buy one if you don’t already have one handy.
I just finished assembling this in a bit less than 1 hour w/o much fuss so I haven’t had a chance to test the waterproof capability of this deck box. I’ll report back later after any rain.
QUALITY:
It’s hard plastic, but it’s good hard plastic. Higher grade than the full size plastic kitchen sets your kids play with at preschool. What I’m saying is that it’s legit. No issues with the quality of the plastic. The closing hinges are gas hinges which is a nice step up from anything more basic.
This is a great storage box. It is very sturdy, easy to assemble and looks like it will last. Shipping was fast, and it arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend this storage box, and am so far 100% happy with the purchase.
Assembly is not bad. You do need wrenches and sockets… both as when you use the socket, you need a wrench on the other side. Metric is what is called for. With some patients, I got it together with minimal stress, but there are a few issues.
First, Lifetime could easily standardize the bolt and nut sizes. It requires three different size wrenches and sockets. They could have just make everything 10mm in order to simplify the process and reduce the number of tools you need to pull out.
Second, the bottom was ever so slightly bowed. When sliding the sides into the bottom, I had so put my weight onto the pieces in order to make sure all of the tabs fit into place. I recommend flipping it upside down after you install the side panels to make sure all of the clips engaged.
Third, some of the holes still had too much plastic covering them. The screws are self tapping and go right through the plastic. But the bolts would not. I had to grab a drill bit and ream the holes out in order to fit the bolts through. It’s not a big deal, but it could set you back if your not used to problem solving like this.
I am very happy with this deck box. Products like this are Lifetime’s bread and butter, they just build very robust plastic containers. If you found my review helpful, please let me know by pressing that button.
Excellent storage alternative, bought a second one when I needed more storage. The first one has been out in the elements for 5 or 6 years and is doing great. Pay a little more and get the best!
water will probably get in from seams between sides and bottom. i chalked the inside bottom just incase.
This box has excellent storage capability and seem very durable. I keep my gardening equipment in there along with outdoor cushions during bad weather. It doesn’t blow away in heavy winds and no moisture inside. I do recommend a lock of some sorts to keep the lid fastened to the box because it may catch wind and flip open.
The drawback was the assembly. The directions seem a bit unclear and I had to figure things out even when watching the manufacturer videos. Because of there are no pre-drilled holes for the screws it was very difficult for me to screw some portions of the box and a drill just wouldn’t work. I even had to get my wife inside the box to screw a few screws in during the assembly. Putting this huge box together was too difficult considering it was mostly thick plastic. A novice like me can assemble this but it took longer than expected.
Beschreibung sollte in Deutsch und klarer sein. (z.B. da man die seitenteile nicht verwechseln darf, da sonst der Deckel nicht pat)
Die Truhe ist sehr robust und hlt vermutlich viele Jahre. Ich glaube, da ich einen guten kauf gettigt habe, zumal ich bisher die Erfahrung machen mute, da billige Truhen nicht einmal das wenige Geld wert sind.
I really liked my first one and I’d guess I’ve had it for six years. The second one appears identical however the quality control seems to have slipped. The lid had a very shallow inch wide gouge in it. Which for an outdoor box is easy to ignore. Where the quality control was harder to ignore was during assembly. The box is a peg and notch style assembly. Repeatedly you line up the pegs, with their corresponding notches, then slide and lock them place. The sides probably took an hour of trial, error, and hammering with a large rubber mallet to manhandle into position. The lid has a reinforcing bar that requires two people to position properly. The hinges became a problem where they bolted onto the box. The holes, in the box, for the bolts hadn’t been drilled out properly. After re-drilling them I was able to mount the hinges.
I’m glad to have the second box but I wish it hadn’t been such a project to assemble.
Would have preferred to have one or two inch height increase to accommodate our beach cart storage. Other than that, it is a perfect solution to beach condo outdoor storage. Folding beach chairs and many other items fit! Being able to lock it also was a prime reason we purchased it!
Of the four deck boxes I have bought and assembled, this one is the sturdiest. Assembly was straight forward, but definitely more involved than the others. I think it may have been designed a few years ago when customers were expected to have a grasp of using/owning a few tools. Lots of screws that required Phillips head screwdriver, and some hardware that required 2 different sizes of open end wrenches and sockets (7/16″ and 1/2″). I’m only mentioning this because some of the other deck boxes didn’t require any tools. That said, I think it makes for a stronger longer lasting unit. Very happy with it so far. Assembly took about 40 minutes mostly because I didn’t read ahead and have the tools needed on hand. You’ll need 7/16″ and 1/2″ open end wrenches, and sockets, a ratchet, #2 Phillips head screw driver, a hammer and block of wood where it might need some gentle percussive persuasion,
and if you’re old like me, good lighting. Enjoy the build.
The journey began with a bad omen: UPS delivered the deck box in what at one time must have been a shipping box. It was so badly tattered that was where no more than a collection of cardboard strips. I should have taken the hint. Being the intrepid type I journeyed on.
After dragging the thing to the back deck it became immediately obvious that all the hardware was missing. What to do?
Called Amazon and asked them just to send a hardware kit. “No can do.” The solution is to send a completely new unit. I am to remove the hardware, reseal the carton, and have UPS pick it up.
Adding to the joy, it poured down rain last night and what was once something that resembled a shipping carton is now nothing more that a sopping wad of paper. Maybe I shall just put the mess on the front porch and have UPS pick it up as is and keep the new unit.
Moving on: BEWARE of Step 2.2 & 2.3 (page 15 & 16 of manual). Positioning the metal Lid Support is a nightmare. Neither the Video (which for the most part is pretty good) nor the printed Assembly Instructions adequately identify the critical positioning of the Lid Support (Part# EZA) so that the Lid Locking Tab (Part# EYY) is set correctly. We found out only after we completed the box assembly.
Today, we are going to attempt to flip/reposition the Lid Support without disassembling the entire Lid (Part# AND). This process includes removing the 6 screws (Part# BCK). What a mess!
Bin sehr glcklich ber die Truhe. Hab lange danach gesucht.
I am so glad I finally made this purchase. so many to choose from. This took about 30 minutes to assemble for two people. Breezed right through the instructions. Holds all my patio cushions and folding table. Had a few storms and everything stayed dry. Looks nice on my patio as well.
Die erste Truhe die den Begriff Aufbewahrungstruhe fr den Garten erfllt. Schnell aufgebaut und sehr stabil. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Die Truhe wird verwendet zur Aufbewahrung der Gartenmbelkissenauflagen.
Angenehmes Material und Farbdesign . Ich bin bisher sehr zufrieden, die Kiste ist empfehlenswert.

These storage containers don’t close all the way shut…especially the smaller single piston container lids.
Order the larger containers that have two pistons to close lid…they don’t need help closing all the way.
Amazing. I have two other outdoor boxes, both keter, this is the best by a country mile. Much stronger, thicker and feels a lot more ‘lifetime’ than any other outdoor box. Capacity wise, I store my lawnmower, an small outdoor bouncy castle, soft archery set and various other garden oaly things with more room to spare! I should have bought two in the sale!
It was well packed and I was able to assemble it by myself in 40 minutes. If you can’t change a light bulb, don’t try to assemble this box. But if you can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you’ll be just fine. You don’t even have to read. I went strictly by the diagrams since the written instructions are not really needed, but they’re a nice bonus.
The engineering is good and the box has a good strength-to-weight ratio. I bought another one three years ago for swimming pool gear and it’s completely weather proof and looks brand new in spite of being in the sun and weather.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Seems like a well built product, however as noted in other reviews, the hardware is not an ideal size or quality, making it more difficult to assemble than need be.
Nuts and boltd assembly AAB and BES faulty. The bolt screws into nut by 1-2 threads and then stops. I first thought it was one nut/bolt that was faulty but all 6 were the same.
Other than that it’s a good sturdy storage box.
There is nothing to dislike about this product! I am able to store 3 bags potting soil 3 100 ft. electrical cords for my lawn mower and weed eater my watering pitcher and all my hand tools for gardening and still have a little room for some small pots for plants. Extremely satisfied best buy ever!
This is a great product and exactly what we were looking for.
I have a handy husband so it went together quickly without any trouble. I think it took him 1/2 hour 45 minutes.
The box is large and holds all of our cushions for the six seating dining table very comfortable with a little room to spare.
Great value and wonderful product.
Gefallen hat mir die gute Aufbauanleitung. Die Box ist sehr stabil und formschn. Leider paten die mitgelieferten Schrauben nicht in die vorgesehenen Schienenlcher und ich mute andere Schrauben besorgen. Der Hersteller reagierte leider nicht auf mein Schreiben.
Die Box verwende ich fr meine Balkon-Klappsthle
Top Box stabil gut aussehend super aufbauanleitung in englisch aber auch ohne Kenntnisse einfach zu montiere
I really like the utility that this box has to offer. I was a bit surprised that what appeared to be a pretty simple project, was not quite as simple as I thought it would be to assemble! However, once it was complete I was very satisfied with it!
I’m writing this because I don’t want to return the whole unit I just need a shock. So we unpackaged everything yesterday and got put together. Of course the last thing was to install the shocks. One went on great and the other is defective on one side and won’t stay put. Can you send me a shock?
problemloser Aufbau, Truhe macht einen stabilen Eindruck.
Geliefert wurde die Truhe in der Farbe grau/anthrazit, beschrieben war die Truhe allerdings in der Farbe braun/beige, ist aber kein Grund, einen Stern weniger zu geben.
Einen Punkt Abzug wegen der doch sehr anstrengenden Montage. Kann die Box aber dennoch sehr empfehlen.
Die Box wiegt 26kg !!!
Beim Auspacken wirkt alles sehr wertig,macht einen stabilen Eindruck.
Schnell die bebilderte Anleitung zum Zusammnenbau rausgesucht und dank derer ist der Aufbau absolut kein Problem.
Deutsche Anleitung liegt dabei und darin ist alles super genau beschrieben.
So wnscht man sich das.
Die Schrauben sind bestens gekennzeichnet sowie in der Verpackung als auch in der Anleitung.
Es kam zu keiner Zeit eine Frage auf welche Teile bentigt werden.
Whrend dem Zusammenbau dachte ich wieder , hui ,das ist aber massiv ausgelegt.
Die Teile werden ineinander gesteckt und schon das wirkt uerst stabil.
Dazu werden die Teile noch miteinander verschraubt und am Schlu der Deckel zusammengebaut.
Es passt einfach alles ,kein schiefes Teil oder etwas scharfkantiges.
Der Deckel senkt sich so astrein dass der Schliemechanismus direkt nebeneinander steht und ein Schlo eingehangen werden kann.
Ich konnte absolut nichts bemngeln.
Bin froh diese Box genommen zu haben ,davor stand eine Keter auf dem Wunschzettel fr fast das gleiche Geld ,welche aber schlechte Rezensionen bekommen hatte.
Ich habe diese Box fr 129 erstanden und finde diesen Preis gerechtfertigt.
Der Aufbau ist fr eine etwas technisch versierte Person ein Kinderspiel, die Aufbauanleitung wird eigentlich nur bentigt, damit man weis, welche Schrauben wo rein gehren. Diese sollten jedoch mit viel Gefhl eingedreht werden, da Sie eben nur in Kunststoff halten.
Super Truhe. Ich habe alle Pool Utensilien drin. Auch die Pumpe. Dafr musste ich fr die Schluche ffnungen reinscheiden. Das hat der Stabilitt nichts angetan. Einfach perfekt.
Arrived quickly and is heavy and well made. Reduced by one star however, because is not very easy to assemble, despite the description. The instructions are confusing and the illustrations not that helpful. Difficult to do alone, although I was able to manage it after about 3 hours. One piece was missing, but it was sent by the company in about a week.
We purchased this to hold a new 8 foot artificial Christmas tree as well as transfer Christmas ornaments and lights from what were in multiple plastic containers on our shelves . The plastic panel manufacturing is heavy duty and is made with pretty tight tolerances so all the panels fit precisely together . The way the panels snap together and fit snugly together is a sign of much better quality manufacturing then anything I seen from companies like Rubbermaid. I think Lifetime should have improved the side handles . If the boxes loaded or even unloaded the handles are very shallow and nearly impossible to hold onto in order to lift the box. This seems like a simple Design flaw. Another issue is the lead handle or actually , lack there of . why wouldn’t lifetime have either a grip area or recessed handle in order to open the lid comfortably . The plastic lid closes pretty snug . When you want to open the lid we found ourselves fishing around for an area to wedge our fingers between the front panel and the lid. this is frustrating . I feel that this container will do a reasonably decent job of keeping out the elements . Although , it is in no way going to keep enter from entering between the side panels and the floor panel . would think lifetime could have devised a small rubber weatherstripping of some sort to resolve this or perhaps something in the mold to raise the flanges where the sides and the floor panels come together . Either way I don’t really care because I’ll be storing the been in my garage on casters anyway.
Haven’t been this quick to write a review needless to say I really like this product right off the bat. I got this a couple of days ago and put it together yesterday. Being a new pool owner we needed something to put some of the pool items away from the elements. This seemed to me a good choice as far as size and price. It is plastic which I’m not really a fan of the look but for the most part we just needed it to be functional. I bought a cover to go over it which keeps it water proof and it actually doesn’t look that bad.
I have put together many, MANY things, from exercise equipment to shelves to desk etc over the years. Obviously this is a box not much else to say it should be easy to put together. With the way they design these things and the hardware that you get to hold it all together it seems that it wouldn’t be very durable. All the bolts screw into the plastic but all the joints and lid seemed to match up and seem solid. As long as you don’t over-tighten the bolts all is good. Having all the sockets and box wrenches helped, a decent tool box like the Stanley 145 piece set from Walmart that I bought a while back was really handy I used it more here that I have since I bought it. All the panels are light weight and easy to move around it says that you need a rubber mallet I didn’t have to use it all the piece easily fit together with a little force. The hinges have a very simple air cylinder that seems to work well, I would say that would be something to see how long it last but it does seem solid and the hinge as a whole works well. Overall it very easy to put together with the proper tools and seems like it will last. When you put it together as the instructions say you put the walls together first and then work on the lid and hinges. If you put the lid on the box walls it will get it off the ground to make it easier to work on, just a tip. Also when putting on the hinges the lid will not stay up if you don’t have someone to help hold it up you could use a wall to prop it up.
Now the size. This was the largest box I could find for the cheapest amount of money. We don’t have a lot stored in the box. In all we have two fold up gravity chairs, three pool noodles, goggles, snorkels, diving rings and two pool floating chairs that are full of air but can fold up enough to shove in there. The goggles and small stuff doesn’t take up that much space so there is room to put a few more small stuff. The chairs have to be leaning to the side to put the lid down but the noodles go in the little void they make. It’s pretty easy to get what you need in there, it’s not a lot but enough to keep things protected and out of the sun and rain. My pool and that side of my house faces south so it’s in the sun all day. Any chair or items lying around with no protection will get baked. We have a large pad of concrete around the pool coming up to the house so there was plenty of room to set the box next to the house with no issues being in the way. If you have a deck around your pool or are placing this inside a garage it’s about the size of a large freezer chest so it will take up some room.
Along with buying this is I bought the cover to go over the top of it to make it water proof. I’m sure that this box would be water resistant but not to sure if it would keep out a heavy rain. The cover was $30 which in total still makes it cheaper than the rubbermaid box that is the same size. The cover is a perfect fit and with drawstrings on both sides and elastic at the bottom so it will stay on.
In all I would highly recommend this box for storage and would also recommend getting the cover if you need it to be water proof. This could also be used as a table or a bar like area to put your spread of food. Overall this was a great purchase for our needs at a great price.
The sides basically slide and “pop” into place with a fair amount of force, which makes sense considering this is supposed to be waterproof. The really tough part was installing the hinges and the top part. The screws are a very tight fit to get into the plastic and take a lot of torque to get in all the way (see the first photo — some screws didn’t get in all the way even with a lot of force) . Part of the problem is a weird angle to finish installing the second hinge. Again, see the second photo – the angle is awful but it is possible!
One tip: I immediately ditched the printed instructions and found a video on You Tube that walked me through the assembly process. That’s the only way I was able to finish it. Well, that an my son’s strength and help.
Once done, it’s perfect! A couple weeks after I finished it, Hurricane Matthew came along. I had no where to move the box, so I loaded everything into it and wished for the best. There was some water along the outside lip of the top (where the brown stains are in the last 2 photos), but no moisture got into the box and all of my cushions stayed bone dry.
Stabile Kiste und wirklich wasserdicht. Zwar war ein Deckel-Scharnier defekt, geht aber auch ohne. 😉 klare Empfehlung weil auch ordentlicher Versand.
Ein kleines Manko sind die Schrauben mit Mutter – die Deutsche Industrienorm ist halt weltweit ohne Konkurrenz.
Die Box selbst ist sehr gerumig, stabil und sieht dazu noch super aus. 6 Hochlehner Auflagen passen locker rein, 8 mssten auch noch passen.
Der Deckel bentigt zum Aufspringen nur einen Schubs, den Rest macht der Dmpfer. Drauf sitzen macht Ihr nichts aus.
Sie passt hervorragend zu unseren hellen Mbeln mit dem grauen Sitzgewebe.
Klare Kaufempfehlung.
Aber mit ein bisschen Hirn und Logig bekommt man das auch so hin.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden und wrde die Box jeder zeit wieder kaufen !!
Meine erste wirklich stabile Box,welche ich nicht fr Kissen sondern fr andere Sachen verwende.Optisch erinnert sie etwas an eine Gefriertruhe,aber tolles Material,abschliebar und vor allem wasserdicht,hat den ersten Regen berstanden und alles trocken.Auerdem sehr gerumig.Super Box
I would recommend it.
I also saw a few comments about getting the card box from transport a big damaged, I guess I was lucky, it came perfect.
Works well– no leaks and sturdy enough to sit o
This is an amazing product made by and large in the USA, where big can be better and in this case it’s big and good.
Good quality and the right size for our needs. Easy to put together.
The large box fit our purposes. It appears sturdy, but not sure it could be used as a bench except for small children. The shipment arrived on time (shipping charges were not waived so the total price was not inexpensive). It comes with metal bolts and other parts for assemblying (the reinforcement bar arrived bent, but we were able to straighten it out). The bottom, sides, and top require some strength to get them to align/fit. Persistence and patience required. The plastic appears durable, the first winter will tell. So far, so good.
Arrived in a timely manner and easily put together.Holds all my cushions and completely waterproof.
Solid box, easy enough to setup and 900lbs limit means it can hold multiple people as a sea
Arrived a week earlier than stated – great service!
It’s fairly easy to assemble, need a socket set!
looks good in the garden and is much sturdier than others I have see
PS keep watch for price change, I kept periodically going on site and was lucky they dropped price 90$, next day the price was back up.
Strong, reliable and easy to put together. I have had one for five years with no problems. Strongly recommended.
We have a large U-shaped sectional with a ton of seat and back cushions and small square throw pillows. This box holds all 12 of our back cushions (these are smaller than the seat cushions), 4 small square throw pillows, my pool exercise items (float belt, float shoes, float dumbbells, small kickboard), fly swatter, and a few other small items. 😉 The 10 seat cushions are larger/thicker so we had to split storing those in 2 other deck boxes (different style/brand) along with the remaining throw pillows. So yes, we have 3 deck boxes around our pool, LOL. After buying this through Amazon and liking it, I found the same one at a local big box home store and bought it. The 2nd one is located up on our house deck to hold cushions for the patio furniture that is up there. The quality is the same with the 2nd Lifetime box as the one ordered through Amazon. I highly recommend this Brand and model no matter where you purchase it.
Great for patio cushiness. Wife and I put together in an hour or so, easy directions. It is vinyl/plastic so don’t over tighten. All good !
well builded, durable and strait forward assembly , price is reasonable compare with other brand.delivery was very quick. i recommend it.
Extremely well built, much better quality than many of the competitors products that I have seen in use. Very easy to assemble, and very sturdy.
JUST THE PERFECT SIZE CAN FIT 5 CHAIR CUSHIONS 2 FOOT CUSHIONS LARGE GARDEN TOOLS AND A PLASTIC CONTAINER TO PUT A HOSE AND OTHER GARDEN STUFF IN LOTS OF ROOM . NEEDED A DRILL TO PUT TOGETHER. INTRUCTIONS NOT BAD BUT HAVE SEEN BETTER.
Was easy to put together and is sturdy when assembled. Very good value for its price.
Sturdy, well built box. Cushions(8) plus accent cushions(4) for my 4 patio chairs fit in perfectly. Easy to assemble. Very happy.
Pretty easy assembly – had it in our back yard for a year now and so far so good – quite sturdy
I live in Vancouver, which, during the winter is basically like living under water, as it can rain solidly for over three weeks at a time. This box has remained completely waterproof throughout the winter and still looks as good as new. Highly recommended.
Holds patio furniture cushions and umbrella perfectly during fall/winter and protects them from the elements, including rain/snow. Small spiders seem to find their way in, but I can’t find where. All in all very happy with price and usability.
Nice product, very high quality.
Do not allowed water or dirt in.
Easy to mount.
It`s American, the Yanks don`t take kindly to poorly made products and expect good durability.
It`s big, could not find anything bigger and wanted to store my Lafuma recliners which are quite large.
It arrived after an expected delay flat packed, big,(well it is) and quite heavy.
The only disappointment is, although the instructions are quite clear after a couple of reads you do need some imperial spanners, (remember the days when everything you needed was supplied) its not the easiest flat pack I have put together. It is now sitting in place on a sunny south facing balcony very sturdy,waterproof and looking good. It is strong enough to sit on, hopefully be more resilient than the Keter. It is more expensive to similar products on the market but you normally get what you pay for and the Lifetime does appear to be a step up.
Edit; Now into the second year, still in perfect condition, no leaks, cracks or warping. I am happy to rate at five stars.
Edit: Year three is looking good, no fading, water ingress or warping.
Edit: Year four, still no issues.
Super easy to assemble and lots of room for all the patio stuff!
Das war unser Beweggrund zum Kauf. Die Einzelteile sind vorbildlich verpackt und passen gut in einander. Ein durchschnittlich handwerklich begabter Mensch schafft den Aufbau alleine ohne Anstrengung in 1 1/2 Stunden. Kaufempfehlung.
Diese Box lsst sich innert 20 Minuten ohne Probleme allein zusammenbauen. Alle Bauteile knnen passgenau gefgt werden. Die Kunststoffqualitt ist ME gut.Komfortable Deckelbedienung mit Gasdruckfeder. Dichtheit ist auch bei starkem Regen gegeben. Allein der Wasserabfluss zwischen Deckel und Box besitzt Verbesserungspotenzial
I placed this box in direct sun light part of the day, hot close to equator climate year round, and prone to heavy rains.
Water getting into yours?
– The first thing you want to do is make sure the ground is raised. See how I put a 6 inch cement platform? That’s similar to per code in most cities. You want to do this for your box for two reasons.
1) The cement is even. So the plastic isnt going to warp out causing large gaps on base
2) If your area has flooding, even if half a inch, and there is a gap you are going to get water in the box
This box is not to just drop on the grass somewhere behind your yard. If you actually do that anyway then silicone the base inside and out to give yourself a fighting chance. Placing it on a flat service that doesnt flood is the key.
– The direct sun is no problem. What I did was purchase a bottle of UV protection spray here on amazon and put it on the areas that gets sun. I do this once every few months and keep it in the bin and use it when I remember to. Still looks brand new.
I searched through each and every deckbox/ storage shed on Amazon. I was originally steered away from this product because it is so inexpensive. I wanted to pay more for the best possible solution. After receiving it I couldnt be more happy.
Assembly:
– Make sure when sliding the side together you are doing it correctly. Its easy, but put some muscle in it to create a locked in fit.
– You should use a socket attachment. Whether its a socket wrench, a socket attachment to your screw driver, or to your drill… just go to the hardware store and pick one up for a couple bucks. Its worth it and I can promise you many of the disgruntled assembly reviews must come from someone who tried to use a screw driver.
-Your lid is closing unevenly? – You didnt assemble it incorrectly. Just make sure the box is on an even surface. I believed my lid was on an even surface but when noticing the lid not closing perfectly (slightly to the left) I placed it on what I knew to be for sure an even surface it the lid closed perfectly.
Recommendations:
– Silicone caulking has been recommended by others but I havent needed to since I raised mine on flat surface.
– A UV protectant spray.
– A socket attachment for assembly
*Important note:
It is more difficult to assemble than something like an Ikea furniture set. It will take someone handy just minutes to do it but if you are not handy assembling this deckbox might slightly irritate you.
If you need a deck box get this one.
Looks great, works great. Still looks and works the same after 3 years of hard use.
Die Box ist super. Perfekt bei Dauerregen und sehr gro. Wrde diese Box jedem empfehlen. Was besseres gibt es wohl nicht.Absolut empfehlenswert.
It’s big. Make sure you measure.
WELL MADE , EASY TO ASSEMBLE. SEEMS TO BE QUITE WEATHER PROOF.
BEAD OF SILICONE ON THE INSIDE JOINTS AS A EXTRA MOISTURE MEASURE.
VERY PLEASED SO FAR
Easy to assemble, excellent quality and very spacious. Sits behind my car in the parking spot in my building. Holds golf clubs, motorcycle gear, etc., with plenty of room to spare. Dark top doesn’t show dirt. It’s a perfect storage solution for both home owners and apartment dwellers.
Alles ist perfekt, und der Preis ist fr das, was man bekommt, angemessen: einfach im Aufbau mit You Tube-Anleitung, schn im Design, praktisch und komfortabel in der Handhabung und natrlich ausreichend Platz und Schutz fr groe Auflagen, schnelle Lieferung, nicht der kleinste Mangel! Besser geht nicht. Ich wrde diese Box wieder kaufen.
Tolle Truhe. Einfach aufzubauen. War anhand der Bilder zu zweit in 20 Minuten aufgestellt. Den ersten Starkregen hat der Inhalt trocken berstanden. Die Truhe steht bei und auf der Terrasse komplett im Freien und ist auch eine tolle zustzliche Sitzgelegenheit!!
Ich bewerte alle von mir bestellten Artikel.
Diese Kissenbox hlt, was die Anzeige verspricht.
Sie ist sehr stabil.
Der Zusammenbau war fr einen Handwerker weniger problematisch.
Wre die Beschreibung in deutsch geschrieben und nicht in englisch wre der Zusammenbau
auch fr einen Laien einfach.
The box is large and looks nice in the deck, but difficult to set it up.
Das Teil war in einer halben Stunde aufgebaut. Dickes, stabiles Material. Metallverstrkung, Stodmpfer…. Das hlt mal fr die nchsten 10 Jahre.
Preis, Leistung sehr gu
Preis ist zwar sehr hoch aber die Bocks ist super stabil
Und wasserdicht! Wrde ich immer wieder kaufen!
Die Kiste wird in Einzelteilen geliefert – man glaubt anfangs kaum, dass man diese Kiste selbst zusammenbauen kann.
Ist aber relativ leicht mglich – im Gegensatz zur Anleitung, die sagt, dass zwei Personen das machen sollten, geht das auch allein.
Die Bilder in der Anleitung sind wirklich sehr anschaulich.
Die Lieferzeit betrug zwar ein paar Tage – aber auf jeden Fall akzeptabel.
