Pros:Durable,"Can add shelf or dividers","10 year limited warrenty","Lockable lid","Easy to move","Strong","60 inches long","Sealed tight","Heavy Duty Hardware","Solid" Cons:"One size 130 gal","Width" Best Uses:"Storing large cushions" Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I use my 130 gallon deck box to store the large cushions to my patio furniture. The plastic is thick and very strong. This box does not just snap together, it has hardware that comes with it (screws, brackets etc.) which are heavy duty as well making the box very strong and sturdy to be used as additional seating. This box is not flimsy at all. I looked at all the other brands over the past year before purchasing this one. The disadvantage for me is that the box is only 20.75 inches wide on the inside so my large cushions will not lay flat. Because the cushions have to stand up, all of the cushions will not fit. :-( If this box was about 2 inches wider or was available in 140 to 150 gallons, I would give it 5 stars! Though it only comes in the one color, it happens to go well with my grey and sand colored patio furniture. Although a wider box would store all of my cushions, I chose this one because of its quality and it's sale price. I plan to use it for a very long time!

This has been a reliable deck box since we purchased it a few years ago. Sturdy and for the most part has kept the elements out. (Maybe not completely water proof, but what water has gotten in has been minimal.) A couple years ago we got home from vacation to find the lid badly chewed up, by either a very aggressive squirrel or maybe a possum. (We had stored birdseed in the box.) I finally got around to calling Lifetime to see if we could order a replacement lid, and the customer service rep graciously agreed to send us one for free.

I LOVE this huge container, I can get so many large patio things stashed in there for winter. I was calling to get a new hinge and shock for one side. Altho I didn't have my receipt and purchase date anymore, the customer service gentleman is sending me the parts free of charge!! yaaay! Thank you so much!! I am a customer forever!

I like the chest. Just put it together. I watched the YouTube video which was excellent. Just a few comments: The BKW (shorter screws) and the BEV (longer screws) should all be the same length. Why? Because the BEV were so long that I had to add washers to prevent the screws from going out of the side of the top. Furthermore, one length screw would probably be more cost effective for Lifetime and less confusing during assembly for the customer. And a note should be made that the 'nuts' with the locking plastic on the threads should be utilized on the hinge/pin assembly. Otherwise, I assembled this by myself ...with the aid of the video...and the box looks great. I hope it stands up to the over 100 degree heat of New Mexico :)

We have had our deck box for 5 years. It sets in our campsite in the middle of our woods in Wisconsin. It’s seen lots of snow, thunderstorms cold and hot weather over the seasons and it’s held up extremely well. We even had a bear “play” with it, overturning it and biting it in several places. Couldn’t be happier with this product.

First box arrived but plastic pieces were very warped and would not fit together no matter what we did. My husbands a contractor but this thing frustrated the heck out of him! Second box arrived and plastic pieces fit together. We were pretty happy BUT this was tedious and very time consuming to put together. We would NOT recommend this to anyone. You will need lots of tools to put this thing together such as a mallet, screw driver, open end wrenches, and can’t recall any more at this time. Then there is a book on hoe to put this monster together. Finally, the manufacturers knew what they were doing when they decided to sell products like this unassembled...it’s honestly a pain to put this together and I would never buy anything like this again!!!!!!!

We bought it for storage for our camping chairs over the winter - but nope - we use it year round. In fact we went back and bought another one. Great for storage of almost anything (pool toys, cushions for deck chairs, small weed eater, and the list just goes on. Perfect for on the deck or on the side of the patio!!

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.

This storage box looks great on the deck! It holds alot of stuff too. It was easy to put together and I like the fact that the lid will not slam down on you. We have had alot of rain lately so I looked inside and everything was dry. It was worth the money.

I bought this storage bin to hold all our outdoor toys. Balls, inflatable pools, Tonka trucks, camping chairs, sand toys, rakes...all these things have been well protected over 3 years in our yard. My kids climb on it and in it, and it is holding strong.
