We have tried a number of different outdoor storage boxes over the years and this is the first one that has worked well. It is great that it is a seat also. Lots of friends asking where they can get them. We live opposite the beach and generally the boxes fall apart within a short period but not this one. No sign of rust yet. We want a bigger one but unfortunately the next size up is a high shed.

I own 3 of these and use them for outdoor storage on the Oregon Coast. They are pretty much water tight and do not sweat in weather changes. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. One I use to store gasoline and diesel containers which is great for safety. One for construction chemicals and one for household recycle items. Won't wont dent if you sit on it either.

We bought this box because it was a little longer than average. We can fit a 5’ shovel on the diagonal in there. We love how sturdy and dense it is. It is one that you can sit on top with confidence. I didn’t expect it to take a couple hours to put together, but I also didn’t use any power tools. It wasn’t hard to assemble without power tools, some steps were just time consuming. We’ve had lots of rain and everything has stayed dry. I would recommend this box.

I have seen it before -- a company that produces a far superior product and charges only slightly more for it. Great for the consumer but bad for the company -- not only do people buy the cheaper junk but those who buy its product get lifetime quality and do NOT have to replace it after a few years. This product will far outlast the competition and shows that competitors products are junk. Once this company is gone your only choice will be whatever junk the competition is pedaling.

I ordered this box to put my clothes in for longtime storage while im on vaction. It shipped fast by fedex, I ordered it on july 27 and got it on August 1st. Well when i tried to put it together by reasing the directions amd looking at the videos. The long side panels would not slide in to the right or even go in at all. It took three adults to try to push that side panel in and attempt to slide it in. No budge what so ever. It would not go in. We tried hammers, sitting on the black part to keep it from moving and sitting in the side panels while trying to hammer it in just even a bit. Nothing. Now I have a huge box in my house taking up space aince its un useable and out of money. The pieces are either crooked or extremly hard to put in. Even in the videos online by lifetime storage, the man in the video had a hard time putting the side panel in and then they cut off the video and skipped to a completed side. I should have known, I wish I realized rhis before.

Advertising called it easy to assemble. After purchasing opening the box, instructions say "two capable adults". First red flag. Screws are larger than the metal hole - no kidding. Tools needed included 3 different sized rachet wrenchs. Did not mention electric drill, or creativity needed. Eventually it was done only to see the lid does not close on one corner - and there is no extra space at the other end. The inside of the lid is slightly smaller than the length of the assembled box. It looks great, will hold what I need but will mostly likely not be weather proof as the lid does not close tightly Had to purchase a separate cover for it. I have assembled furniture for about 20 years, cribs, bookcase, computer units. I think I am capable..... My suggestion: buy local and have it assembled.

Recieved our 130 gallon outdoor storage box today and within 30 minutes, it was assembled and holding outdoor stuff! It appears very well made and we are confident it will last a very long time. Love the color (grey) and the gas springs are also a nice touch. It really complements the deck area.

The storage container is very nice and durable, however the assembly was horrific. Struggled to get past step one as the panels were slightly curved and the tabs would not stay in the slots to slide the panels. And not all the holes were predrilled in the lid so we had to create some. Very difficult to use screwdriver and/or socket wrench as there was no room to turn them. The product itself is very nice, however assembly could be improved.

I have outdoor chairs sets with voluminous cushions and this deck box works perfectly to stash the pillows when not needed. The deck box is waterproof, so the cushions don't get wet and it seems to keep insects out, too. It is sturdy and can be used for extra seating. They wipe down easily and are relatively quick to assemble - I have three of them so the first one took the longest, but the other two were faster to put together. The instructions are clear, but you must be detail-oriented when looking at the pictures. 

This item is billed as easy assembly but unless you have a full tool kit at home including different sized wrenches (with socket wrench) it's going to require a trip to the hardware store. That wasn't mentioned anywhere on the product webpage. Also, the plastic moldings on mine are not a perfect fit so even after hammering, jimmying, adjusting, and putting full weight into it, one of the corners still sits 1/2 inch higher than the others leaving the bottom corner exposed for dirt, water and bugs. Not really happy with this at all.
