Overall, I'm pleased with the box. My only complaint is that, where the gas springs are attached to the main box, the resin is unnecessarily thin. And, given the nature of the material, they don't align exceptionally well. This makes it far easier than it should be to damage the resin, destroying the connection point.

The first chest we purchased a couple of years ago in the store. We needed another one and since the first was just what we needed, we knew we wanted another one. We purchased our second chest from Sam's online store. Not as good as the first one. Lid doesn't fit right at one corner and afraid it is going to allow rain to get into the chest. If this second chest worked out as well as the first one, YES we would recommend it to a friend, but would not recommend the second chest....

Once assembled I love this thing, but due to the nature of the materials, I struggled to assemble it because of warped pieces and misaligned holes. I understand this is something that can happen with these type of manufactured materials, but it still wasn’t fun.

I bought one of these 130 Storage boxes last year...rock solid construction. When I found out it would fit in my Ram Truck and still close the tail gate...well I bought another one. If you need "dry storage" in your truck bed this box will satisfy that need. When I go to my lake house I put all the food stuffs and lots of other things that need to stay dry. I use another one on my pier to store fishing stuff. And my wife wanted another for the patio to keep her garden stuff in...and it works as an extra bench. Will probably find a need for another.

This is a great storage container for the backyard. It is large enough to hold all the cushions when the weather gets ugly. I bought a second one for added space. Our first one has lasted 5 years already and shows no sign of deteriorating in the Arizona heat.

This box wasn't difficult to assemble. It fits together nice and tight. It's a great addition to the back yard where it houses pool floats and chair cushions. I wish we would have bought this years ago. Nice and sturdy, can be used to sit on, too.

We had bought one of these years ago. It was a very sturdy deck box that did not leak so we thought we would buy another one. When we got it home and assembled it, we noticed that the new box is not quite as sturdy as the older one. This one does not have the metal brackets in the corners to keep the sides together. There is a screw you insert instead--not near as sturdy and you cannot put quite as much cushions in this one because it causes it to bulge out. Sure wish they would quit making things today cheaper and always trying to find ways to increase their profit margin. It should be about quality and that is what consumers deserve. Somewhat disappointed because we loved the older one.

We bought this box about 5 years ago and over time the metal parts rusted. I was ready to buy a new one, but decided to contact Lifetime to see if I could and where I could purchase replacement parts. To my surprise the person in customer service replied to my e-mail the same day. I send him the information he requested. Within one day he informed me that they would send me the replacement parts. I really appreciate the help and quick response from Costumer Service, mostly Costumer Service Rep Ian. Thank you.

I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised It is easier to put together with 2 people due to its size. Take your time to fit the pieces together and it will be sturdy and waterproof. A very good product for the price. I would definitely recommend. I had it shipped to my home and took others advice on letting the plastic pieces warm up in the house before trying to put together. Would buy again!!

Rubbermaid has an excellent rep so I purchased one with high expectations. Instructions were very good and I assembled this myself. The only problem I has was with the lid because I did not have the box on level ground. Buy one - you won't regret it!
