Pleased with the aspect of its being sturdy and waterproof (to store sports equipment, chair cushions, tablecloths) and able to be set more or less inconspicuously along the edge of the patio. We don't use it as a bench, but you're supposed to be able to. It can work as coffee table/hassock or as a surface to set things on if you're not opening and shutting it frequently. Price was quite reasonable. Came quickly and in good order.

After reading some negative reviews about OTHER large deck boxes that were about $50 less, I decided to spend a bit more for this product. I'm glad I did, as I'm pleased with the quality of this item. The plastic is strong, and durable. The individual parts all seem to be of high quality. I'm a 200 pound man and I can sit on the center of this lid without a worry. Installation: I assembled this by myself and it took about 45 mins, but I admittedly assemble things at a slow, careful pace. I'm glad I ponied up the extra cash for this product as I see it being a permanent fixture of my pool deck.

I purchased the outside deck box (model # 60040) 3 years ago and was surprised to find the lid struts and associated hardware was so rusted they looked as though they exploded from the inside out. The representative I spoke with quickly identified the replacement hardware kit for my model deck box and is shipping it right away. One can’t ask for any better customer service than I received today.

I recently noticed worn parts on my Lifetime box. I took a few pictures and wrote to ask about how to order replacement parts and received an email back showing the order date for the various parts. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Response times were very reasonable as well.

I purchased this in 2013 (2019 now) and used in our backyard for storage of outdoor pillows and garden supplies. It’s water proof (at least in southern CA) and was a good size. The lid started to warp, I think from the sun and I wrote to lifetime. They immediately sent a replacement lid. What great service! So happy with the product and company.

Well made quality product. Assembly was fairly easy, a rubber mallet and power screwdriver is a necessity in my opinion. Watch the product video before starting. Bought this for storing my lump charcoal, wood chunks and other smoking/grilling accessories on my patio. Plenty of room.

I have 4 of these 130 gal deck boxes, 1 80 gal, and 1 150 gal boxes. The lid of one of the 130 gal boxes got damage from falling tile when my house was re-roofed. I called Lifetime to find out if I could buy a replacement lid and to my surprise the customer service agent offered one at no charge. I just received the lid this morning less than a week later. Thank you Lifetime.

I purchased this bin as it was rated the best in terms of durability and water tightness. I bought it for the sole purpose of storing extra feed bags and hay for my horse. I was thrilled at how easy it was to put together. I was planning on using my battery-operated Ryobi for the whole job, however because of a few tight places, there were a few times I had to use a couple of flat-style wrenches. I've never put one of these bins together and it took me approximately 45 minutes. Nice clear instructions and all the holes lined up properly!

The plastic sides were just slightly bowed, probably from heat, and all joints did not mate correctly. I missed that until the end and it was too late to correct. Sliding to walls and base together with all lock points engaged is critical. Overall it will work fine as outdoor storage. Still looks fine despite having to bang walls with mallat to get a fit. Only German instructions in box but I am technically inclined. Had to pay real close attention to which holes got screws and which did not. Like the spring action on the lid and size. Picture show those critical mating points on the bottom. Poorly designed IMO.

I had a BLAST putting this deck box together! OMG! Good directions, easy to,even when I didn't have one side panel right. I fixed it EASILY! The lid with the shocks it fabulous, especially in this blustery area at times. The parts for the lid were easy to work with, because the picture showed clearly where screws and bolts went! I had so much fun getting the metal parts onto the lid and attaching it to the box, and it works fabulously! It also has a nice place for a lock! The best thing is (and this is a girly thing) I DIDN'T BREAK A FINGERNAIL)! I put it together myself and it was fun!!! Amy
