In theory this seems like a great buy—it’s a nice size and seems like it would be easy to put together. However, it is not clear which screws go where since they are not labeled and the screw diagram doesn’t distinguish them. Even the YouTube video doesn’t show which screws go where. One of the cylinders would not easily pop on so that’s a problem.

Looks good but the whole purpose is to keep rain out or I could just leave my cushions on the chairs. Every time I open it a day after a rain there is water inside. There's no obvious entry point so I started investigating. Seems the lid closes onto a flat surface all round. The rain rolls off the lid into this flat surface, puddles there and is sucked in by capillary action. This is exactly why you should have a drip edge on a roof, so the water won't get sucked into the structure. This flat area should at least be angled away from the interior. But it isn't, so the water is sucked into the box. It also puddles on the ledge, clings to the lid when it's opened and then drips inside from the lid. That flat lip also accumulates surface dirt held captive there and on the flat upper cover. Because of their color they both have to be cleaned often. Well, not sure what to do now. I just can't believe a good company like Lifetime would build such a flawed design without testing it in the rain first. But they did design it to look good.

I bought this about a month ago. Easy to assemble too. I don’t have a pool, but I did have planters, pebble stones & general yard items all over the place. This really helped organize & find a easy go to covered spot to store them rain, snow or shine!

I thought assembly was easy if you follow directions. quality of finished product is great.

I bought this a few weeks ago. My husband a mechanic, put it together by himself today. He had it together in under an hour. A lot of reviews people talked about misaligned holes. The only problem he had was the lid hinge holes didn't quite line up. Being the mechanic he is, he handled it. So the most time spent for him was on the lid hinges. The deck box is well made very sturdy and very large! Great purchase.

Only negative is the handles are too small. It keeps the water out.

just bought and put together. I just skimmed through the manual and did look back for references a few times. Just be sure to take your time and look at each part before putting together. Its not that hard to put together. Yes a second person makes it go a lot easier. So far I like the box and would buy again.

Sides would not line up and made it very difficult to assemble. The top is 1/4 inch off which the top pops open

Excellent product. Bought the first one and put it together myself. I’m 76 year’s old. Liked it so much I bought another one

The size and stability are perfect. It is a shape that is pleasing to the eye - which is good because Deck Box is visible by the side of the pool. Another successful purchase from Walmart!
