Purchased in April with home delivery ... came quicker then estimated. Easy instructions. Went together in less than 30 minutes after gathering the tools needed and removing the parts from the box. Three storms so far and the cushions remain dry.

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.

I bought this box to replace a smaller deck box (different manufacturer) that finally succumbed to years of sunlight - the top got brittle, cracked, and appeared ready to start leaking. The Lifetime box is a much better design as far as ease of assembly. I put it together by myself on a moderately windy day. Based on my experience I have three suggestions. First, in addition to reading the instructions, watch the assembly videos. Second, be sure to remove any plastic from the holes the bolts for the hinges go through before you try to install the top. Trying to hold the top in place with one hand while clearing the bolt holes with the other hand is a losing proposition. Third, spray the slots in the bottom with silicone lubricant before attaching the front and back panels. This will make it easier to slide those panels to lock them in place. And, as with any plastic product, it helps to have a drill handy in case any screw holes are missing. Overall I am well pleased with the quality of this deck box. Time will tell how well it stands up to the elements.

I was searching for a outdoor storage box for our pool deck and looked at different brands of storage units. I read the reviews of different companies and Lifetimes outdoor storage box had the highest rating among consumers. So I ordered one and I was amazed at how well built it was and how simple it was to assemble. I'm very pleased with the purchase. On a side note we have a Lifetime Basket Ball goal I bought 8 years ago that is still in excellent condition. I'm now looking to purchase some additional Lifetime benches for our pool deck. Thanks Lifetime for making a product that's built to last.

After spending hours researching Deck Boxes on the internet, this was the box that stood out from all the rest. The previous reviews for this box were right on the mark. The box could be a couple inches wider, but my cushions fit just perfect. It is strong enough to hold my 280lb weight. Can't beat that for strength! Ordered this box from Walmart online and had it shipped to store for pickup, thus saving the shipping cost. Setup was a snap, don't overtighten the screws! Last fall I purchased a Home Depot box for $59, thinking I was getting a good deal! The box was too small and poorly constructed. I stuffed the cushions in for the winter and when I removed them this spring the box was bulged out on the sides. When I sat on it, the lid slid past the side support and threatened to collapse. I reniforced it with 1x2s" and has now become the grandkids outdoor toy box.

Lifetime responded to an issue we had with attention and communication that's hard to come by these days. Their products are solid, and if there is any issue with anything, they don't quit until the customer is satisfied. I received a helpful email reply every time, and even my phone call requests were met with an actual "human" helping me. End result: hubby happy, and I'm happy. Thanks for all you guys do!

When assembling, the tabs that hold the walls to the base are made of too soft of a plastic. No matter how I tried to slide together, the tabs on the conners deformed and didn't lock to bottom. Solution I came up was to use screws on two of corners from bottom, seems fine, the rest assembled fine

As a pool owner with grandkids and a BBQ guy with charcoal, wood pellets and gear, I need outdoor storage. This is reasonably easy to assemble and superior to the Rubbermaid competitor (easier to assemble and easier to fall apart). Squirrels CAN eat through the plastic if you leave bird food inside (I now keep the birdfood in metal pails inside the container). BUT this is a TERRIBLE emergency casket. It is unwieldy with a body in it, there is leakage and if you need to bury it it is too big.. body bags are simpler and you can get them for about 40$ each. ....you never know.

Just assembled this unit yesterday. In addition to tools listed in the instructions I needed 10 mm and 13mm wrenches and sockets. Ends and sides did not fit together without gaps at top or bottom, not flush top to bottom. Star (Phillips) heads on screws are too small for good grip. Some screws had to be put in at an angle because holes did not perfectly match receptacles. Difficult to believe that the box will be waterproof let alone water resistant in the foul weather common here at 8,600 ft. in the Rocky Mountains. I will caulk inside and out but I suggest applying caulk to all seams, bottoms and sides and ends, as they are assembled, then inside and out. Why is there a significant openings to the outside at the hinge elbows?

We just put Liftime 133 gallons Storage Box together and so far really like it. Some suggestions for assembly. Unpack your patience. Watch the videos and read the directions before starting. It took us almost 2 hours. It might be less for someone who is more handy. It really helped to assemble on carpeting. Two people is highly suggested. Some tips, when assembling the long sides, make sure the tabs match up to the slot and snap in fully before performing the locking move. It shows using your foot in the demo. Can’t see how that would be enough force. We hit it quite hard multiple times on the block of wood with a mallet to lock. When snapping in the shorter side walls, make sure not push them too far down. We had this issue with one side and when we were attaching the hinge the screw holes didn’t match up. We adjusted the side wall up slightly and then the screw holes lined up. When installing the metal lid support we also used the mallet and gently tapped into place. Once assembled the lid closure is a bit off. We have to push it down lightly on one side to form a seal, but otherwise it all came together great. It rained last night and the cushions stayed nice and dry.
