Exactly the right size and went together easily. Liked the setup video. Problem was that one of the key bolts to connect the closure piston was missing and now have to wait 5-7 days to get this unique piece. The package came with 2 bolts in the bag and 1 laying in the box and one missing. Most self assembly products always come with one extra of unique parts. So I can't use the box for another week. Boo

I have bought nine of these extra large boxes and used them to ship stuff overseas. Only had problem with one with the side bottom tabs which didn't properly slide into the bottom piece causing it to pop out, however, by large these boxes are very sturdy and stand up to the rigours of sea shipping.

Purchased item based on favorable reviews. My finding was not as kind. Floor of unit is so thinly extruded that by simply kneeling on the floor during assembly I dented the bottom. I am average weight. The premium in price did not translate to a premium in quality. Buy cheaper box and most likely get same build quality.

We received this to replace a Rubbermaid one we had purchased through Sam's Club. The Rubbermaid one was of terrible construction and the top lid would fall down on your head easily. I saw this one and it looked better made so we ended up with two of them. The first one took a lot longer than expected as it was hard to screw in all the parts, but it is well made. The second box which we put together several weeks later went together much easier. Overall since they are outside and contain chair cushions, I have not had any leaks but it still shifts meaning the lid is off which if you put a lock on it should cure that. I haven't gotten around to it yet but plan to prior to the winter.

Panels are a little warped so watch out putting the sides together with the base. Make sure the sides slide all the way over and lock into the base or you will have problems. Be careful with your hammer or you can dent the box. Top really not suitable for adults to sit on but fine for kids and smaller adults. Not hard to put together if you get everything squared up before you start screwing things together.

We have had this unit for about 2 years now. It is located outside in the Texas heat and we have never had any issues with critters getting into it….However, we aren’t storing food items either. Also we have not experienced any issues with degrading quality due to the unit being outside. The assembly was pretty straightforward and we didn’t encounter any issues putting this together. As long as you follow the instructions and make sure you have the correct parts in the correct direction and slots all should be good. This is definitely worth the price point. Oh yes and the interior is huge and the top is suitable for a full sized adult or two to sit comfortably but I just use it for storage space.

I appreciate how mujch this deck box holds. However, two months after assembly, I discovered the lounge cushions I put in it are mildewed and have mold on them! The box is leaking around the front edge (mainly around lock area) when it rains. It seems to fit together well, but there was about 2 cups of water sitting on top of the cushions and rug inside of the deck box. I now have a large piece of plastic covering it which looks horrible and defeats the purpose of a new deck box.

Our storage box arrived today via FedEx. After taking it from the box, it was completely assembled and in use within 1 hour. Directions were detailed and easy to follow. Box is extremely sturdy and the support air closures prevent the lid from closing accidentally. I am glad we purchased this and I would definitely order again.

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.

I always read and heed negative reviews but since there were fewer of them for Lifetime's deckboxes than others I was considering I took a risk. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of assembly. All the parts were in the box and nothing was damaged. Everything fit together the way it was supposed to. I am not particularly skilled with tools and assembly so I took special care to read the directions and understand them before I began each step. Well worth the sffort-i am very pleased with the results. It took me three hours but considering my lack of skill I don't think that's too bad.
