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?

Wir haben eine Box gesucht, die wir Sommer wie Winter draussen stehen lassen knnen. Die Bewertungen hierzu waren ja berwiegend sehr positiv. Gleich vorweg: In die Box dringt tatschlich keinerlei Feuchtigkeit ein. Unsere Polster bleiben auch nach einem Starkregen schn trocken.
Einen groen Nachteil hat die Box trotzdem: den Zusammenbau. Dafr braucht man professionelles Werkzeug und davon gleich je zwei gleichgroe Schraubenschlssel. Wer hat so etwas zuhause? Wir mussten jedenfalls in den nchsten Baumarkt fahren, weil die Schrauben derart schwergngig gewesen sind, dass wir sie mit unserem Haushaltswerkzeug nicht zusammenschrauben konnten.
Ist sie erst mal zusammengebaut, hat man eine schne stabile Box, deren Deckel mit zwei Gasdruckfedern offen gehalten wird. So gesehen fnf Sterne fr die fertige Box und zwei bis drei Sterne fr die Hindernisse beim Zusammenbau.
schöne Truhe
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.

Nach dem Aufbau ist alles gut. Steht seit etwa einem Jahr im Garten und hat jeden Wetter gut berstanden.
Einen Punkt Abzug wegen der doch sehr anstrengenden Montage. Kann die Box aber dennoch sehr empfehlen.

Excellent storage box
This box took about an hour to put together. It appears strong and hopefully water proof, though we have had no rain, time will tell. We have a 3 seater sofa and 2 chairs, 10 cushions in all and we can store all of these comfortably in the box. We also have 5 small cushions which can also fit in the box as well. Overall this is has lived up to my expectations.
Perfect box for the garden.
Great product! Nice and big, exactly as described. Very good instruction manual provided, very detailed – made it easy to put together, although required some strength at times. It took about an hour to put together (1 person). Based on how it’s designed the box looks like it would keep water out.
Als ich das Paket entgegen nahm dachte ich zuerst ,hui ist das aber schwer.
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.

Ich habe ganz bewusst nach einer Truhe gesucht, deren oberer Truhenrand innen einen erhhten Rand hat, was viele anderen Truhen nicht haben. Denn ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass ein nicht abgesetzter Rand bei Regen und Wind wirklich dicht hlt. Diese Truhe hat bereits mehrere Gewitter im vllig freien mitgemacht und die Polster blieben trocken.
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.
Supe
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.

I was able to assemble the Deck Box alone without any help, however their is one instruction I found to be unclear: It deals with the bar that goes across the front of the box, your instruction says to insert one end and once in, ” rotate it and place the other end in the slot”…If you insert one end in the ” notch” and rotate it, it will damage the insert cut out and “round it out” making a sloppy fit, even tho you screw the bar into the front panel. I found that it was much easier and a better install by inserting one end of the bar, then with my left hand grasp the bar on the end, and “bow” the center just enough to line up the bar with the insert hole, and it slips right in. Also, I purchased some time ago a set of wrenches that have an open end at one end and the other end is a closed/box wrench at the other end, and this box end is a “ratchet” end, so that when you place it on one way it tightens, the flip over loosens. It became quite handy as some of my sockets walls were to thick to fit between the panels and get a firm grip on the screw or nut that I was attempting to lock down. Another item you may want to HIGHLIGHT…..When screwing in screws or tightening bolts and nuts, be careful as you can “over tighten” the screw, which leaves you no “bite” into material, after all its plastic not metal or wood and it gives or “strips” very easily and you have a poor/weak point of assembly. The last item is, you may want to predrill small holes in the material for starting the screws. If you use a “nut driver” on the drill, then go only 3/4 of the way with the drill and complete the tightening by hand, you get to “feel the tightness and won’t over tighten”. Otherwise it went together very well and inuse….Here in Florida its hot and rainy and its holding up well.
This deck box is nice looking and holds all of my daughter's hockey gear. It was easy to assemble and has stood up to our Ontario winter with no leaks and no damage. It also adds some additional seating when necessary.

Functional for the price
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.
This thing survived a hurricane! I bought this in October to hold the cushions for my outdoor patio set (4 big love seat cushions, 2 big chair cushions, 1 medium ottoman cushion), plus a couple blankets, throw pillows, lighter, extension cord, etc. It weighs a ton, so be prepared to get some help moving the box and assembling it if you’re not very strong.
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.
Besser geht nicht.
Stabile Kiste und wirklich wasserdicht. Zwar war ein Deckel-Scharnier defekt, geht aber auch ohne. 😉 klare Empfehlung weil auch ordentlicher Versand.
One person and a deck railing can put this together in an hour. Easy. And no hammer required. It took 1/2 hour to assemble the lid. 10 minutes to put the box together and 20 minutes to attach the lid to the box. One step that is not in the instructions: Before putting the lid on ensure the bolts can go into the holes. I had to ream my plastic holes out with a little screwdriver becuase they were incomplete from the factory. My Socket wrench was too big so had to use open end wrench instead. Make sure to not over tighten the screws. See the assembly video that is advertised in the instruction book at the manufature’s website: go.lifetime.com/60012playlist I was able to put 4 seat cushions, 4 fold up chairs in bags, and a patio table umbrella in the box. Glad I got the130 gallon size and not anything smaller. Quality seams good but I have never used another similar box with which to compare.
Zunchst einmal ist zu erwhnen, das die Box die wohl beste Aufbauanleitung hat, die ich je gesehen habe. Selbst das Schwedische Mbelhaus kann sich da eine Scheibe abschneiden. Die Schrauben sind Idiotensicher verpackt und beschriftet, die Anleitung in drei Sprachen (Englisch, Franzsich und Spanisch) detailiert bebildert einfach toll. Der Aufbau ist so wirklich simpel und von mir allein in knapp einer Stunde erledigt.
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.

Die Box ist stabil und sieht gut aus. Ich bin rundum zufrieden.
Die Box kommt von einem amerikanischen Hersteller. Deshalb haben die Schraubenkpfe alle Zoll-Mae (Inch). Bei uns gebruchliche Schraubenschlssel mit metrischem Ma passen nicht genau. Die Montage ist grundstzlich mglich, man muss aber aufpassen, dass man mit dem Schraubenschlssel nicht abrutscht, da er nicht genau passt.
Wie bei allen Plastikboxen und Plastikhusern werden die Schrauben einfach in den Kunststoff gedreht. Man muss aufpassen, dass man die Schrauben nicht zu fest anzieht. Nach fest kommt lose.
Schade leider war die Aufbau Anleitung nicht in deutsch.
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 !!

The product looks and feels strong, has a nice look to it. Assemble is easy but the only comment to it is that the screw that is closer to the back holding the “L” piece that helps hold the top, is way to close to the bottom of the space so it makes it tight to screw scratching the surface of the box at that point, I am attaching a few pictures to show this, but once you assimilate that you just scratched your brand new box due to the defective design not you, then it is ok.
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.

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.

Really worth the money My second box. Love it, so purchased a second one. Very sturdy and leak proof
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.

OK so it is not as cheap as many such products but there is an excellent reason for this, it is outstanding! It is heavy duty and every piece fits together tightly and with great joins. This makes it one of the most robust storage boxes I have come across, time will tell re longevity but so far it is exactly what I wanted and I have no qualms re the price.
I waited over a year to write this review as I wanted to go through a summer (2015), winter (2015), and another summer (2016) to see how this box stood up to the elements here in NC (Raleigh area). This box is very large, extremely easy to assemble, nice soft open/close hinges – and the lid stays open when wanted, closes tightly, and absolutely positively keeps the water out. As others noted, do take the time to make sure you have the correct panels in place before snapping together as I can see how they could be difficult to get apart if put together wrong – but everything was labelled easily so just read it. Some reviewers stated they used caulk inside to seal it but we did not and it never allowed water in – ever, and we get torrential rain when storms roll through. FYI, This box was placed on our pool patio directly on the concrete so moisture from the outside bottom did not get in. It has not faded (it gets a lot of dead sun all day) and did not crack during the cold months. Nothing smells inside – no musty smell or anything; and no mold or algae formed around/on the outside. It was packaged well, delivered intact, no pieces missing.
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 !

This deck box is fantastic! It’s very durable and has great dimensions that allow us to store up to 6 fairly large cushions for our outdoor furniture. Actually, this is the second one of these boxes that we have…we bought the first one a couple of years ago, but we needed to purchase this new one to accommodate our growing cushion collection. We have had other deck boxes in the past, but this one is the best by far…very durable and looks great.

Great American made outdoor storage.
This is a quality American made product that ‘does what it says on the tin’. I had already bought a cheaper version that got sent straight back for a refund due to quality issues. Although this was more expensive than some other boxes it is worth it and great value. It took around 30 mins to construct and I now have robust solution for my outdoor storage.
well builded, durable and strait forward assembly , price is reasonable compare with other brand.delivery was very quick. i recommend it.

Pretty easy assembly – had it in our back yard for a year now and so far so good – quite sturdy
Very durable and reasonably priced. The assembly instructions are thorough, but not complete. A numbered parts list would be handy when getting started, and there are a few assembly tips I could mention. First, you will need a rubber hammer to slot the panels together. Second, you will need to drill small pilot holes to secure the panels at the top four corners with the Philips screws. Third, a socket wrench is required, but the hub on a standard wrench may be too large in some areas. Use an extension or a smaller wrench. Finally, the pivot bolts for the pneumatic closers should be installed before the hinges are attached. The nuts on the lower pivots are too big to slide in if it is done at the end of the process. Assembly is not trivial, and does require a helper, but is well worth it.
Very durable and reasonably priced. The assembly instructions are thorough, but not complete. A numbered parts list would be handy when getting started, and there are a few assembly tips I could mention. First, you will need a rubber hammer to slot the panels together.

Good quality. Fully waterproof.
Good quality product. Fully waterproof. Nice and large. Accommodates several chair cushions or sunbed mattresses. Easy construction but two screw holes didn’t line up so husband had to make new holes, otherwise would have given this 5 stars. Husband siliconed all joints to prevent access to insects and spiders.
The item arrived on time and well packaged. I am very happy with this purchase. It went together in less than an hour and is extremely sturdy. I weigh 185 lbs and can dance on the top without it deforming in any way. It serves a dual purpose of containing spare items from my boat and as a step to facilitate me climbing on and off my boat.
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.

This is a huge box and very well made. It looks great when assembled. I do not understand the reviews saying it is difficult to assemble. It is not. My partner has limited DIY skills and he assembled it in half an hour. Like a previous reviewer, we decided to silicone all down the sides and along the bottom to make it bug proof. Great box and well worth the money.
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.

Five Stars
Nice product, very high quality.
Do not allowed water or dirt in.
Easy to mount.
I was looking for something to replace my existing storage, Keter store it out, which although only three years old was in a state of disrepair (did not like the sun). I purchased the Lifetime for the following reason.
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!

Die Box haben Freunde seit ca. 5 Jahren drauen stehen, und sie sieht noch aus, wie am ersten Tag. Der UV-Schutz ist also 1a.
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.

Qualitätsbox
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

Check out the photo.
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.

Besser geht nich
Die Box ist super. Perfekt bei Dauerregen und sehr gro. Wrde diese Box jedem empfehlen. Was besseres gibt es wohl nicht.Absolut empfehlenswert.
Really nice considering its made of plastic. I just wish they haf a slightly more effective fastener system for assembly than using screws. Maybe it doesn’t matter. It works exactly how they say it will. Hopefully it can stand up to the sun on our southern facing patio.
It’s big. Make sure you measure.

EASY TO ASSEMBLE
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.

Die Kissenbox hat meine Erwartungen bis jetzt erfllt. Schnelle Lieferung. Gelieferte Teile waren vollstndig. Aufbau erfolgte zu zweit. Aussehen genau wie Abbildung. Die Box hat die ersten Regentage im Freien gestanden und die Kissen drinnen sind alle noch trocken. Ich hoffe, dass das Material im Laufe der Zeit nicht verblat oder sich verzieht, damit der Preis gerechtfertigt ist.

Very good storage unit. Has been completely waterproof for over a year now and we see a lot of rain.
The box is large and looks nice in the deck, but difficult to set it up.

Wer sich mal mit den klapprigen Kisten unter 50 herumgergert hat, weis warum diese Box einen Cent mehr kostet.
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

If you need a large storage box, this is the one. Relatively easy to put together & looks great too. The lid closes tight; at first we had trouble getting both corners to line up. After closing it a few times, it’s become much easier. Only time will tell if the box holds up but so far, I’m very impressed!

Preis ist zwar sehr hoch aber die Bocks ist super stabil
Und wasserdicht! Wrde ich immer wieder kaufen!
Recht schweres Paket – deutet daraufhin, dass das Material robust ist – ist es auch.
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.

his is a good solid box I put angle brackets in the corners I dident like just the one screw holding the sides down.
Great quality box. Easy to set up and keeps everything inside clean and dry. The colours and design is very subtle so even though it’s large in size, it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb.
